FWRE Mortgage Calculator

Version 5.0.5: 1 update, 2 fixes.

Update: The add-on pages look finished on a phone too. The property manager's filters, its inquiries and bookings tables and the agent's profile form no longer run off the side of the screen. Their buttons, fields and tabs are at least 44px tall, and so are the share and brochure dialogs'. On a property page the title gets its own row, with the share, favourite, print and brochure buttons under it. Compare lines its row labels up with their values, and the listing's tax switch sits after the currency menu with its full label. The white text on the Latest module's photo cards sits on a darker shade, so it's readable on a bright photo, and the mortgage calculator's chart and legend line up with its fields. Your account pages, saved searches and favourites use the design's buttons instead of plain blue ones. On a phone the manager's lists and the compare table read well, and the slideshow listing shows its photo again. The PDF brochures look exactly as before.

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: The mortgage calculator is back on the property page. Sites that received the Mortgage Calculator add-on as a download showed an empty space where the calculator belongs in the property page's side panel. The add-on now carries the calculator itself, so every visitor sees it again once the add-on is updated.

Nothing about this module behaves differently on the site.

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

Nothing about this module behaves differently on the site.

Its settings screen shows the module's description in every language the module ships, rather than a placeholder.

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.

No change you will notice. This release rebuilds Mortgage Calculator on the current engine: the markup it produces is now written the way each platform expects it, so nothing it prints can be mistaken for unescaped output. It adds no features and changes no behaviour — every page it draws was compared before and after, and they are identical.

The mortgage calculator module.

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.
