Open Realty® - Major Upgrade Release

Open Realty®, the ever changing ever evolving application for real estate listings management is scheduled for a milestone release jump from version 2.4.3 to 2.5 as a result of many reworked elements of the applications core.

Unknown at this time regarding backwards compatibility with previous addon developments, this release is one of the most anticipated in the 2.0 series of Open Realty®.

Open Realty®- Compliance XHTML CSS Template Structure

Announced by Transparent Technologies earlier in the month;

2.5 will be a substantial upgrade over previous versions and that is why we have made the decision to move to the Minor version from .4 to .5. There are the usual small bug fixes however here are some of the features we are working on for 2.5:

File Attachments - Open Realty® - PDF - Video - YouTube

The most anticipated of all the new features in version 2.5 has got to be the addition of the long awaited and much discussed “file attachment” feature. Ryan states that they decided on the implementation of the file attachment system for property listings after taking into account the market demands for such features. Agents and Real Estate Agencies will benefit greatly by the feature as listings can now be accompanied by support material and other documents such as pre-qualification loan applications and other related materials right in the listing details pages.

Previously such a feature was largely made possible via a custom listing detail field with a link to an uploaded item via FTP (File Transfer Protocol).

File formats are likely to include PDF, RTF, MS Word DOC, ZIP, RAR, and an assortment of various video and audio file formats. The items attached will be made available for download from either a direct link or a drop down list for multiple items. Given the available integration possibilities its likely developers and designers will find a way to integrate video from YouTube as we see this trend on runaway status with Real Estate sites today.

Ryan states in his blog and throughout their forums that being conscious of the markets demand on compliance with CSS and XHTML, Open Realty® is moving more and more toward fully qualified code output. These features sound off with a loud encouraging voice as one of the most important features in choosing Open Realty® by designers.

Its with great pleasure to see and post this announcement given the new release of Open Realty® and its LONG AWAITED compliance features making it a truly web standard application when compared to previous releases.
