## Description

Your properties deserve better than a blog with photographs. FW Real Estate turns
WordPress into a property site. You’ll get a home page that presents your listings,
list and grid listing pages, an advanced search a visitor can actually use, and 
detail pages with galleries and full specifications.

See it running: https://realestatewordpress.fastw3b.com/ (that demo has the full
add-on range enabled, so it shows more than this plugin installs).

#### Everything below is in the download

There’s nothing to buy first, no account needed, and nothing gets downloaded after
you install it.

 * **Properties on your own terms.** Your fields and your dictionaries: types, statuses,
   features, currencies.
 * **Two listing layouts**, list and grid, both paged and both filterable.
 * **A search that cascades** through country, region and city. Place it as a widget
   or as a block.
 * **Detail pages that answer questions.** Photo gallery, specification tables, 
   print view, quick view.
 * **Rentals beside sales**, with their own lease terms, payment periods and pricing.
 * **Video and 3D tours** on a property.
 * **Shortcodes and native blocks**, so listings go on any page in any theme.
 * **A WordPress admin**, with real roles and capabilities, and WP cron.

#### Rentals, video and 3D tours are included

A rental property carries its own lease terms, payment periods and pricing, so lettings
sit beside sales without a second plugin. A property can hold a video. A 3D panorama
tour opens in the gallery. All three are in this download.

#### Put listings wherever you want them

Add the listing shortcode to any page:

    ```
    [fw_real_estate layout="grid" limit="12"]
    ```

and the detail shortcode (or `?fwre_view=item&fwre_id=ID`):

    ```
    [fw_real_estate type="item"]
    ```

The native blocks are in the inserter too, so you never have to type a shortcode.

#### Built on an engine that has been running for years

Underneath is a real estate engine that has powered production property sites for
years, integrated natively into WordPress. You aren’t installing version 1 of anything,
and it doesn’t feel bolted on.

#### It grows: MLS and IDX import, agent directories, and more

When one site becomes an agency, add-ons take it there. Two of them lead the range:

 * **MLS and IDX import.** Your listings arrive from the feed and stay in sync: 
   the RESO Web API, and the UK and European portal feeds.
 * **Agent directories.** Every agent gets a profile page with their own properties
   on it, and enquiries reach them.

The rest of the range covers maps, favourites, saved searches, comparison, status
labels, an enquiry form, open houses, multi-currency, image watermarks and brochure
PDFs. There’s also a front-office manager, which lets agents post and edit properties
without ever opening wp-admin.

Add-ons need a paid subscription and arrive as their own WordPress plugin, which
you install like any other one. None of them is in this download, and this plugin
never downloads code. The FAQ below explains exactly how that works.

### External services

The plugin works without any of these. Each is inert until a site administrator 
turns it on or enters their own key, and none of them is contacted on a fresh install.

 1. Fastw3b update and licence service — https://fastw3b.com
     What it is for: registering
    this site against a subscription and listing the add-ons it covers. When it is 
    contacted: only from the plugin’s own admin screens, on an administrator’s action:
    connecting or verifying the site, and opening the Add-ons or Updates screen. Never
    from the front end, never on a schedule, and never on a fresh install before the
    administrator connects. What is sent: the site URL, the licence key, the plugin
    and WordPress versions, the platform name, and the list of FW Real Estate add-ons
    installed, so the service can answer which of them the subscription covers and 
    whether newer versions exist. Nothing is downloaded from it: translations for this
    plugin come from translate.wordpress.org as WordPress language packs. Terms: https://
    fastw3b.com/terms · Privacy policy: https://fastw3b.com/privacy
 2. Google reCAPTCHA — https://www.google.com/recaptcha
     What it is for: spam protection
    on the enquiry and review forms, if the administrator enables it and supplies a
    site key and secret. Off by default. When it is contacted: on any page that renders
    a protected form (the visitor’s browser loads `api.js`), and on submission, when
    this site asks `api/siteverify` whether the answer was valid. What is sent: the
    visitor’s reCAPTCHA token and this site’s IP address. Terms: https://policies.google.
    com/terms — Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
 3. Map providers — Google Maps at https://maps.googleapis.com or Mapbox at https://
    api.mapbox.com
     What it is for: drawing the property map and geocoding an address.
    The administrator chooses the provider and supplies their own API key; with no 
    key, no map is rendered and nothing is requested. When it is contacted: when a 
    page showing a map is displayed in a visitor’s browser. The provider’s own map 
    library is loaded from the provider, with that key, as both providers require. 
    What is sent: the coordinates or address being displayed, and the administrator’s
    API key. Google: https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/terms and https://policies.
    google.com/privacy Mapbox: https://www.mapbox.com/legal/tos and https://www.mapbox.
    com/legal/privacy
 4. YouTube and Vimeo — https://www.youtube.com and https://player.vimeo.com
     What 
    it is for: playing a property video, when the property’s own record names one. 
    When it is contacted: only after the visitor clicks the video poster, which then
    embeds the player. What is sent: the video id, and whatever the embedded player
    itself collects. YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/t/terms and https://policies.
    google.com/privacy Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/terms and https://vimeo.com/privacy

### Bundled third-party libraries

All of these ship inside the plugin and are loaded from it — the plugin never fetches
code from a CDN. Each is GPL-compatible, and the readable upstream source sits beside
the minified build it was made from, in the same directory:

 * UIkit 3.25.21 (MIT) — https://getuikit.com — `assets/js/fw-uikit-3.25.21.min.
   js` + `fw-uikit-3.25.21.js`, `assets/js/fw-uikit-icons-3.25.21.min.js` + `fw-
   uikit-icons-3.25.21.js`, `assets/css/fw-uikit-3.25.21.min.css` + `fw-uikit-3.25.21.
   css`. This is the upstream 3.25.21 release with the CSS class prefix changed 
   from `uk-` to `fwk-`, so the framework cannot collide with a theme or another
   plugin shipping stock UIkit. A custom prefix is a supported UIkit configuration
   and is documented by the project at https://getuikit.com/docs/avoiding-conflicts#
   custom-prefix — its own `pnpm prefix` script performs the same substitution over
   the published `dist`, and renames the global object the same way (`fwkUIkit`).
   The readable and the minified file are upstream’s own pair with that one rename
   applied to both, so they are the same program; `scripts/vendor/build-fw-uikit.
   sh` in our repository regenerates all six files from the published upstream release.
 * lightGallery 1.6.12 with the lg-zoom 1.1.0 and lg-fullscreen 1.1.0 modules (GPLv3)—
   https://github.com/sachinchoolur/lightGallery — `assets/js/lightgallery.min.js`
   + `lightgallery.js`, `lg-zoom.min.js` + `lg-zoom.js`, `lg-fullscreen.min.js` 
   + `lg-fullscreen.js`, `assets/css/lightgallery.min.css` + `lightgallery.css`.
 * Ion.RangeSlider 2.3.1 (MIT) — https://github.com/IonDen/ion.rangeSlider — `assets/
   js/ion.rangeSlider.min.js` + `ion.rangeSlider.js`, `assets/css/ion.rangeSlider.
   css`. 2.3.1 is the project’s final release; it is no longer developed, so this
   is what its latest stable is.
 * Pannellum 2.5.6 (MIT) — https://pannellum.org — `assets/js/pannellum.min.js`,
   with the upstream sources `pannellum.js` and `libpannellum.js` beside it and `
   assets/css/pannellum.min.css` + `pannellum.css`. Loaded from the plugin the first
   time a visitor opens a 3D tour.
 * Pikaday (BSD & MIT, dual) — https://github.com/Pikaday/Pikaday — `assets/js/pikaday.
   js`, `assets/css/pikaday.css`. The date pickers on the availability and booking
   fields. Only the readable build ships; there is no minified copy to pair it with.
 * Material Symbols Rounded (Apache-2.0) — https://fonts.google.com/icons — the 
   icon outlines in `addons/designs/official/assets/js/demo-icons.js`. Not the font:
   the individual SVG paths for the icons this plugin’s screens use, registered 
   with the icon framework so a screen names an icon rather than embedding a drawing.
   No icon font is loaded and no request leaves the visitor’s browser for one.
 * MarkerClusterer for Google Maps 2.6.2 (Apache-2.0) — https://github.com/googlemaps/
   js-markerclusterer — `assets/js/markerclusterer.min.js` + `markerclusterer.js`.
   Both files are published by the project itself in that release: the minified 
   one is its `dist/index.umd.js` and the readable one its `dist/index.dev.js`, 
   the same program built without minification. Loaded only on a map that clusters
   pins.

Two typefaces ship as well, both under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 and both served
from the plugin rather than from a font service — no request leaves the visitor’s
browser for a third party, and no visitor’s IP address reaches one:

 * Poppins (SIL OFL 1.1) — https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Poppins — `assets/fonts/
   fwre-poppins-{300,400,500,700}-{latin,latin-ext}.woff2`, eight files.
 * Inter (SIL OFL 1.1) — https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Inter — `assets/fonts/
   fwre-inter-{cyrillic,greek}.woff2`, two files, carrying the Cyrillic and Greek
   that Poppins does not.

Both are the publisher’s own woff2 subsets, redistributed unmodified; only the file
names carry this plugin’s prefix. Each `@font-face` declares a `unicode-range`, 
so a browser fetches only the files a page actually needs. The family names declared
in CSS are prefixed too — `FWRE Poppins`, `FWRE Inter` — because font-family is 
a global name: an unprefixed one would MERGE with a theme’s own declaration of the
same family rather than override it or be overridden, and the browser would then
pick between the two sets of files on its own.

    ```
    scripts/vendor/ in our repository regenerates every file above from the published upstream release, and each script records which release it fetched and how.
    ```

jQuery is NOT bundled: the plugin uses the copy that ships with WordPress.

    via Plugins  Add New.
 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu.
 3. Create a page with the `[fw_real_estate]` shortcode for the listing, and one for
    the detail view.
 4. Configure currency, display and other options under the FW Real Estate admin menu.

## FAQ

### Is FW Real Estate free?

Yes. The core is free and always has been, there’s nothing to buy first, and you
don’t need an account to use it. It covers properties, fields, dictionaries and 
the whole front end on its own, and a great many sites never need more than that.
What a paid subscription adds is add-ons.

### What are add-ons?

Extensions that work only with FW Real Estate and add to what it can do. They come
in three kinds: plugins for features such as maps, agents, favourites or rentals,
designs for how the front end looks, and modules you can place on a page.

An add-on isn’t a WordPress plugin of its own. You won’t find it in the Plugins 
list, because it’s managed inside FW Real Estate, on its own Add-ons screen. A paid
pack, described below, is a WordPress plugin: it’s the envelope the add-ons arrive
in.

### Can I import listings from my MLS or IDX feed?

Yes, with the MLS and IDX import add-on, which is paid. It reads the RESO Web API
and the UK and European portal feeds, brings the listings into your site as properties,
and keeps them in sync as the feed changes. It isn’t in this download.

### Can each agent have their own page?

Yes, with the Agents add-on, which is paid. Every agent gets a profile page carrying
their own properties, and enquiries about those properties reach them. It isn’t 
in this download either.

### How are add-ons installed?

The free ones are already here. They ship inside this plugin, so there’s nothing
to install and nothing to download: open FW Real Estate  Add-ons and enable what
you want.

Paid add-ons arrive as their own WordPress plugin, one per subscription tier, and
you install it exactly like any other plugin (Plugins  Add New  Upload Plugin). 
Activating it hands its add-ons to FW Real Estate. Deactivating it takes them away
again, which is what a lapsed subscription should look like.

This plugin never downloads or unpacks code. Plugins hosted here aren’t allowed 
to, and FW Real Estate is built so that it can’t.

### Why would I need an add-on?

You might not. The core holds everything a property site can’t work without, so 
it stands on its own. Every other feature is an add-on, which is how each site ends
up carrying only what it actually uses.

That split is also why turning one off is clean. Disable an add-on and its fields,
its output and its columns disappear from the site. Enable it again and they come
back, with the data intact.

### How do I get a paid add-on?

Take out or extend a subscription at https://fastw3b.com and download the pack it
entitles you to, then install that pack as a WordPress plugin. Everything the site
has received is listed under FW Real Estate  Add-ons, where each one can be enabled,
disabled and updated.

### What does connecting the site to fastw3b.com do?

It pairs this website with your fastw3b.com account. That’s what makes support through
the Client Section possible, and it lets the site be told when a new version of 
something it has is available.

One button does it: Connect, in the FW Real Estate admin header. Your client section
opens, the site is registered, and the key comes back by itself. There’s nothing
to copy and no key to paste.

Connecting is optional. An unconnected site keeps working, and the free add-ons 
that ship inside this plugin work whether you connect or not.

## Changelog

#### 7.1.3

**A small maintenance release.**

 * **A backup made by an earlier version restores again.** Such a backup stores 
   the files inside it with a leading slash, and the restore looked for them by 
   exact name, so it answered that the archive was not a recognised backup and named
   the files it had just failed to find. This matters most if you are arriving from
   our previous product: export there, upload here, and the restore now reads it.
 * **The dashboard tells you what the last update did**: when it ran, which version
   it installed, and what it changed in the database. Where an update cannot apply
   part of a database change, that is now recorded where you can read it rather 
   than only in a server log, which much of shared hosting has switched off.
 * **A comparison table and the spreadsheet importer show only your own fields.**
   Both could include a field that belongs to an add-on rather than to you, which
   meant a visitor could see it in a comparison and a spreadsheet column could write
   into it.
 * **The date switches in the Fields list reach the property page.** Turning a date
   field on or off in the Fields list now shows and hides it on the property page
   as expected.
 * **The enquiry e-mail lists only the details a property has**, and the default
   e-mail templates have been revised.
 * **A restore that has nothing to add says so.** Restoring a previous-version backup
   into a site that already holds properties now reports that nothing was imported,
   and applies none of the backup’s users, settings or media.
 * **The property edit forms have been corrected.**
 * **The search block lists every search field**, so each one can be shown or hidden
   from the block settings.
