Real Estate Listings

Post by pgoneill »

Hi Folks.

I'm going to be doing a freelance job for a real estate agent pretty soon and have a good deal of experience with CMSMS.  It would fit the bill perfectly, except for one thing.

Listings.

Generally, listings would be created in a somewhat tabular format - or at least with specific, formatted bits of info: price, number of bedrooms, etc.  I guess this could be done by fudging the news module, but the problem is that it only has two fields, really.

If anyone has any tips, tricks, ideas, etc, I'd really appreciate it.  If there's another module that exists that would suit something like this let me know (I haven't noticed one).  Alternatively, if you'd like to recommend a different CMS (as much as I love CMSMS, it might not work for this ;) ) feel free to do so.

Bear in mind, I can't write a module, I barely know PHP and I don't know MySQL at all and I don't have time to learn them well enough.

Thanks a mil in advance. :D

Two things to check out:
Cataloger
Formbuilder + Formbrowser (CMS 1.0.x plus required).

Check out these modules there designed for that type of stuff (so long as you don't want too much searching).

I'll look into it soon as I get a chance.  I'm swamped with work right now (a good thing!). Thanks. :)

I wondered about Cataloger, but didn't want to go through the trouble of setting up a CMS install and installing the module just to see what it was all about.  Is there a way - in the forge - to get more detailed information about a module's capabilities?
