custom_property_fields

Allows you to add custom fields in the administrator area (via a new button 'custom property fields'). This allows property managers to add information extra to that normally recorded by the edit property details page. This data is added to a new tab in the property details page, however you must edit the tabcontent_01_custom_property_fields.html yourself, sample data is provided that uses the fields that you create to build the template contents.
 
 
On installation a new button is added to the administrator area.
 
 
 
When you click on that area you are given a large panel and a "create new field" button with a green cross. Clicking on that button takes you to the edit page where you can create your new custom field.
 
 
Here we have created two custom fields called test1 and test2.  Underneath the list of fields you'll see that the large text area has been populated by Jomres. Once you've created the custom fields that you want next you will need to edit /jomres/core-plugins/custom_property_fields/templates/tabcontent_01_custom_property_fields.html and paste in the contents of that text area. We do it this way because it allows you to customise this template to suit yourself. There's no reason why Jomres couldn't automatically generate the tab content for you, but then you'd lose the flexability of laying it out the way you want.
 
 
 
Now that you've updated tabcontent_01_custom_property_fields.html you can go to the front-end and log in as a property manager. You will see that you have a new button in the manager's toolbar.
 
 
Clicking on this button you will see that you can enter some data into some fields. We'll just replace what's already there with some nonsense.
 
 
Now, when we preview the property details (second option from the top left of the manager's toolbar) we'll see the output of the data added in the picture above.
