FWRE Agent Module

Version 5.0.4: 2 fixes.

Bugfix: The module settings screens show their labels in your language again. Labels such as Design, Load UI Kit, Current user, Grid and List, Select a property and Yes and No showed as raw codes like FWRE_THEME, in English and every other language.

Bugfix: Property pages use the full width, and the official design reads better on phones. On WordPress the property page, the agent profile and the listings don't fold into a narrow column any more. The home's latest properties line up with the rest of the page, their arrows sit under the cards, and the home doesn't scroll sideways. On a phone the sorting and currency choices fold behind one Ordering button so your listings show first, and every button on a property card is big enough to tap. A status like Available has the same colour on the card, the property page and the admin's property list. An agent without a photo gets a tidy placeholder, Compare shows where each property is, and an empty Compare page links back to the listings.

The module shows no agents while the Agents add-on is off.

Its description in the module list is up to date in every language.

Nothing about this module behaves differently on the site.

Its Layout setting now lists the layouts that exist. Choosing a layout is a list of what this module can actually render rather than a free text box, so a name that would not have been found cannot be entered. Modules already configured keep the layout they are set to.

Nothing about this add-on behaves differently. Its site templates now travel with the add-on itself rather than living in the design, so exactly the same markup is rendered from a different place. A design still has the last word: where a design offers its own version of a template, that version is used, as before, and a site that has customised one keeps every customisation.

⚠️ This version requires core 7.1.0, which is the release that knows to look inside an add-on for its templates. The add-ons catalogue will not offer it to an older core, so update the core first.

The rest of the release is work inside the source that a site cannot observe: the English catalogue was rewritten into the form the WordPress directory extracts translations from, and comments were shortened. The fifteen languages this add-on ships are unchanged.

The agent module — an agent, or a set of them, placed on a page.

FW Real Estate 7.0 rebuilds the product on a new cross-platform engine. What this add-on does for you is unchanged — the features you use in 6.x are the features you get here. What is new is where it runs and how it reaches you:

• It runs on WordPress as well as Joomla, from the same code, so both editions stay in step.
• It has a version of its own. On Joomla that means it is delivered and updated from the store on that version, instead of arriving whenever the component happens to ship a release that bundles it. On WordPress it arrives inside the plugin if it is one of the free add-ons, or in the subscription pack it belongs to.

See the component release notes for the 7.0 story and for how to bring your data across.
