Real Estate

Hi All,

Brand New to Real Estate Group so be gentle and kindly point me to other discussions if my search on this topic missed a real discussion.

I do know enough about development and drupal to know two things about Drupal:
1. There are lots of modules that do the same thing that are 're-inventing the wheel' which is why I look to join an existing module rather than 'write my own' (assuming I could)
2. There are lots of modules that do the same thing because there is a very good reason and the seemingly redundant modules contain not-so-obvious differences.

I am building a real estate page to my HOA. I have the CCK fields built and the view is looking good (Thanks Garrett), but I am missing some things I hope someone can help. Can someone point me in the best direction?

1). Advanced Search - I have exposed filters for searching, but how do some sites implement an "Advanced Search" button that displays even more exposed filters to users?

I'm trying to use views to create an advanced search for Real Estate properties listed on the website, however I'm having a few problems:

What I'd like for it to do is have a bunch of drop-down menus set as a block, so I can then put the block in different pages
eg:
-Suburb/Postcode (as there is only a limited number of suburbs being sold by the company)
-Number of bedrooms (Studio, 1, 2, 3,...)
-Number of bathrooms (Studio, 1, 2, 3,...)
-Property Type (Appartment, Villa, House,...)
-Minimum Price ($100,000 , $150,000 , ... )
-Maximum Price ($500,000 , $550,000 , ... )

I have a couple data heavy sites (one about houses and another for listing classes) with content that has various tags and cck_fields that I would like to make more sortable according to different user search/filter criteria. Basically be good to limit according to X or Y or whatever.

Wondering what the best modules and techniques to do this the "Drupal" Way?

Hi,

I am implementing a Real estate search for my website. I am using cck fields for the form. Can someone help me with creating a search. How do I get the range for price and bedrooms for a given value and set it to the taxonomy term. I am using taxonomy terms for bedrooms and price.

Thanks

Please contact me directly with any related real estate sites or map intensive sites you have completed in Drupal.
I am looking for fairly advanced functionality- something beyond drupalrealestate.com or other "theme" packages.
I need an advanced developer, not someone on their 3rd or 4th site.
No IDX integration needed.

Thanks!

This is the first real estate site I've built using Drupal. It's not quite done yet, as I'm trying to tweak a few settings, and could use some help.

First: It's multi-language. English & Chinese. Only one price, RMB. As for views, filtering the language works well. That was actually easier than I thought. However, when I tried filtering the language for a slideshow views using images taken from imagecache, It's not filtering; i.e. both the English AND the Chinese pages are circulating no matter the language selected.

Any advice how to fix this?
