FW Real Estate – Documentation

The FWRE Open House addon adds a viewings schedule to individual property listings. Administrators enter specific dates and time windows directly on the property edit form; visitors see the upcoming slots on the property detail page and can plan a visit without contacting the agent first.

Use Cases

• Weekend viewing events — list Saturday or Sunday open house times so buyers can drop in without an appointment.
• Show home schedules — display recurring weekly slots (for example, every Saturday 10:00–13:00) on the listing page.
• Rental inspections — indicate available move-in inspection times for prospective tenants.

Adding Open House Times to a Property

When the addon is active, an Open House section appears inside the property edit form. It is part of the existing form — not a separate tab. Add as many viewing slots as needed; each slot has four fields:

• Date — the calendar date of the viewing event.
• Start time — when the viewing window opens (e.g. 10:00).
• End time — when the viewing window closes (e.g. 13:00).
• Notes — an optional free-text note such as "Bring ID", "Ring the bell", or "Agent: John Smith".

Frontend Display

On the property detail page, all upcoming viewing slots are shown as a dedicated schedule section, listed in chronological order. Past events are filtered out automatically — only future dates appear to visitors. If no slots have been added to a property, the section is not displayed at all.

Notes

• Dates are entered manually. There is no integration with external calendar systems such as Google Calendar or iCal.
• If all entered dates have passed, the Open House section disappears from the frontend automatically.
