Hi everybody...

Real Estate Module v2.2 was released earlier this week and I wanted to highlight some of the new features...

All users who purchased v2.0 will receive 70% off during checkout on Snowcovered. There are some significant improvements and the module has been tested over the last 2-3 weeks every day so I think we have a very qulity release here...

 Whats new in v2.2?

• Now show/hide which fields display on search listing grid
• Additional ability to rename fields throughout the module including add listing, edit listing, search grids, and other pages throughout the portal. Renaming fields allows you to utilize the module on many implementations outside of Real Estate implementations. Maybe rentals, even use the module as a classified ads module, etc...
• New Featured Listing feature to feature listings. Featured listings will display on their own featured listing module seperate from the standard module
• Setup Wizard - A new setup wizard is setup to aid in walking you through the initial setup. With the new wizard you will be up and running in a matter of minutes. 
• New feature to show / hide links displayed on the main search page by security role (links to view listings, add listings, view messages, etc...)
• New feature to automatically set the default expiry dates, also additional feature to optionally allow the user to change the expire date themselves
• Now search for 'All Property Types' both on advanced search and the default search
• Custom email templates - Now all emails distributed within the module can be modified within an administration area of the module
• Additional / Updated localization - Each and every page of the module was fully tested to support all areas of localization. This includes every field label, every dropdownlist, every grid, etc...  

We are working on the updated documentation and Aleksandar should have this completed by the end of the weekend. 

You can view some of the screenshots and purchase the module here.

As far as a roadmap on future releases:

We are very interested in your feedback or possible wish lists. For version 2.3 we are looking to add a few suggested features to also display a list based on registered user (somewhat like featured listings such as 'Show all properties from this user') and options to add the ability to easily 'Clone Listings', charge for listings with Authorizenet/PayPal Gateways (right now you can do optionally do this by redirecting to PayPal on the save/update message and not approving the listing until payment is made), and a few other enhancements related to the ability to remove/add fields you want on the add/edit listing page. Right now you can rename ALL fields but you can't remove fields you don't want...

So... Please post any wish lists and we will monitor all feedback and requests.
