FW Real Estate – Documentation

The FWRE Custom Fields addon extends FW Real Estate with a fully user-defined field builder. Add any number of extra fields to your property form — beyond the built-in set — and display those fields on the frontend property detail page. Fields are organised into groups that appear as subsections on the property form.

Typical Use Cases

• Commercial real estate — add fields such as Annual NOI, Cap Rate, Lease Type, or Zoning.
• Holiday rentals — add Sleeps, Pet-friendly (checkbox), or WiFi speed.
• Luxury properties — add Pool type (dropdown), Concierge services (multi-select), or Parking spaces (number).

Managing Fields

This addon has no global settings panel. All field management is done in FW Real Estate → Fields. Open that section and click New to create a field.

Field Settings

Each field has the following properties:

• Title — the label shown in the property form and on the frontend.
• Alias — a URL-friendly identifier, auto-generated from the title.
• Type — the input type (see supported types below).
• Group — a logical grouping that controls how the field is grouped on the property form.
• Default value — a pre-filled value for new properties.
• Required — whether the field must be completed before a property can be saved.
• Published — controls visibility in the form and on the frontend.
• Ordering — display position relative to other custom fields.

Supported Field Types

• Text — single-line text input.
• Textarea — multi-line text block.
• Number — numeric value.
• Select — single-choice dropdown.
• Multiselect — multiple-choice list.
• Checkbox — boolean yes/no toggle.
• Radio — single choice from radio buttons.
• Date — date picker.

Frontend Display

Custom fields appear in the Details section of the single property page. Depending on the active design template, groups may render as collapsible sections or tabs. The Group and Ordering settings on each field control where it appears.

Notes

• Deleting a field does not delete its stored values — data remains in the database but will not be displayed. Remove field values before deleting a field if you want to fully clear the data.
• Custom field values are searchable through the search module when the Search Layouts addon is also active.
