FW Real Estate – Documentation
FWRE Layout Anywhere
The FWRE Layout Anywhere add-on embeds a complete property listing — or one property's full detail view — in any module position on your site. Unlike the other FW Real Estate modules, which display a slice of a property (a card, a map widget, or a search form), this module renders the real thing: the same listing the extension would show on a dedicated menu-item page, including whatever enabled add-ons contribute.
Use Cases
- A property section on the home page. Show six featured properties for sale in one city, as a grid, without a dedicated menu item pointing at a listing page.
- A landing page per area or type. One page per city or property type, each carrying an embedded listing already scoped to it — the visitor's own search then narrows within that scope.
- A single property inside an article. Embed one property's full detail view in editorial content, such as a "property of the month" write-up or a neighbourhood guide.
Placing the Module
Enabling the add-on inside FW Real Estate installs the FWRE Layout Anywhere site module in Joomla. Place and configure it the same way as any other Joomla module: go to Content → Site Modules, find the module, and assign it to the position and pages you need.
Settings
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Display layout | Listing | Listing — a scoped property listing; Single property — one property's full detail view. |
| Design (theme) | Site default | Which installed design renders the module. |
| Layout | List | Listing layout: List, Grid, Table, Map, or Slideshow. Grid, Map, and Slideshow each require their own add-on. |
| Country / Region / City | All | Scope the listing by location; multiple values are allowed. |
| Category / Type | All | Scope by property category and type; multiple values are allowed. |
| Status | All | Scope by status. Requires the Status Labels add-on. |
| Featured only | All | All properties, featured only, or non-featured only. Requires the Featured add-on. |
| Hide property categories | No | Removes the category field from the embedded listing. |
| Description length | 200 | Characters of description shown on each card before trimming. |
| Limit properties | 12 | How many properties the embedded listing shows. |
| Select a property | — | Which property to show when Display layout is set to Single property. |
| Currency | Site default | Show prices in a specific currency. Requires the Multi Currency add-on. |
| Add-on parameters | — | Per-instance overrides contributed by enabled add-ons. |
Important Notes
- It renders as a block, not as a page. The embedded listing deliberately omits the listing page's own heading, toolbar, and pagination. It is a section inside your page; the module's own title serves as the heading.
- Scope filters combine. One instance can be as specific as "featured apartments for rent in two cities, six of them, displayed as a grid."
- Single property ignores the listing settings. When Display layout is set to Single property, the scope filters, layout, and limit settings do not apply — only the chosen property's detail view is rendered.
