FW Real Estate – Documentation

The FWRE Favorites addon lets visitors save properties to a personal favorites list and return to them later. A heart-shaped toggle button appears on every property card and on the property detail page, so buyers can shortlist properties as they browse without losing track of them.

How Favorites Are Stored

Storage depends on whether the visitor is logged in:

• Guest visitors — favorites are saved in a browser cookie. They persist across pages within the same session but are lost if cookies are cleared or the session expires.
• Logged-in users — favorites are saved in the database and persist across devices and sessions.

If a visitor saves properties as a guest and then logs in, those guest favorites are automatically merged into their account — nothing is lost.

Frontend Behavior

A ♡ Save / ♥ Saved toggle button appears on each property card in the listing and on the property detail page. Clicking it adds or removes the property from the visitor's favorites list. The current favorites count is displayed in the navigation area, depending on the active design template.

Favorites Listing Page

Create a dedicated favorites page by adding a menu item of type FW Real Estate → Favorites. This page displays all saved properties using the same grid or list layout as the main property listing. Properties that have been unpublished or deleted from the site are automatically excluded from the list.

Price-Change Notifications

Registered users with favorited properties receive an email notification when the price is reduced on any of their saved properties. Notifications are dispatched via the cron task.

Email Lead Capture

Visitors who save a property as a favorite can optionally be prompted to provide their email address. The captured contact is stored in FW Real Estate → Messages as a lead.
