WP Featured v1.3 Features

Working on this late last night I factored in a way to have nifty little featured slider although not automatic as I’d like. I did this so it could be used in places where space is limited. My idea is to have the listings slide from right to left on the click of an arrow button.

I’ve also added in some support for OpenRealty SEF URL’s since this previous version would only display the listingID in the URL and not the actual SEF title. Adding this feature lead me to a discovery of sorts where Open Realty’s SEF feature may possibly break certain aspects of a site.

I discovered that in OpenRealty version 2.5.2 the that when SEF URL’s are set to use “hyphens” it can cause problems with any site element that is “hyphenated”. I sent that info to OpenRealty Guru Mick for possible bug analysis to see if it can be verified by someone else too. I noticed that with SEF urls set, any background images in my css that were preceded with a hyhpenated word would be excluded and not show up. Also sub folders with hyphens would not work nor pre-defined search results that were added to the HTACCESS file. For instance if I set the background image for the search results template to be residential-background.png it would not show until I changed it to residentialback.png for instance.

This kept me many many hours bug hunting trying to figure out what I was doing wrong since the SEF feature in this newest version has a few hyphenated paths for the mootools and RSS stuff. I can change it if need be, but if it is a tiny little bug in OpenRealty, I figured they would want to know about it.

People beat me up a great deal about how nasty this site is and how unreliable the downloads are and such. I take no offense to truth. I’ve got it on my project log to be fixed. Thanks for feedback even if to slap me around.
