Open search results on another page?
Something like this is not supported and additional coding is required.
If you are not familiar with coding, please follow this guide: http://iwinter.com.hr/support/?page_id=1870
Customization hints for your developer:
Script version >= 1.5.9:
In your cms_config.php add:
$config['search_listing_page'] = 2;
where number 2 represents page ID where you wish to show results. Of course this page should have template which showing results or it not be visible.
For older script versions:
templates\{your-template}\widgets\head.php, customize javascript function manualSearch, it is triggered when user click “search” button and contains all parameters.
You should develop redirect to another page, with search json for api, details: http://real-estate.iwinter.com.hr/documentation/#!/public_api_rss
Example:

Detect color to use in android app or css
You should use some color picker app or browser extension to detect specific color.
I using this one for firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/colorpicker/?src=api
Remove featured from top position?
CUSTOMIZATION HINTS: Basic PHP knowledge is required!
File application/controllers/
'property.is_featured DESC, '.
when this is called:
$estates = $this->estate_m->get_by($where, false, $config['per_page'], $order,
This should be changed on few places.
Example:

Remove form elements?
Form is usually located in: templates\{your-template}\property.php so first remove elements there.
If form element is required then you should remove this “requred|” validation rule in:
application\models\enquire_m.php , defined in “$rules” array.
Visual search form builder tricks
If you using template which support visual search form builder like:
Property Listing and Hotel Booking Portal #02
Real Estate Retro Template #03
Horse Market Sell & Rent Portal
You can customize forms by guide:
http://geniuscript.com/wbooking/user_guide_theme/#!/custom_search_form
But if you wish for example split row into 3 columns or add custom css class then you can add it also:
then depend on bootstrap version or custom classes you can add for example “bootstrap3″:

Search by specific price related to purpose
By default search by price works based on defined purpose “Sale “or “Rent”
By default Sale price is used, field ID #36
If user select purpose which contains word “Rent” then field ID #37 (Rent is used)
Only Rent price (excl.) is used for search, other is only used for information, to show on property preview page.
If you want to add new prices for search or customize this functionality, probably you should look into application\controllers\frontend.php, ajax method, code inside comment block:
/* Define purpose */
/* End define purpose */
Currently there is code to automatically change from sale price to rent if user select purpose which contain word “Rent”. You should do same thing for your new price/purpose.
Also don’t forget to enable filtering for your new price field in administration, guide: http://iwinter.com.hr/support/?p=5804
If you are not familiar with PHP I can provide customization for you (cost additional). Details: http://iwinter.com.hr/support/?page_id=1870

<?php _widget('custom_javascript');?>
Example can be found in property.php template file
Some guide is also available here:

How to find which template file you using on specific page:
Hide some fields or specific code for specific user type?
You can use this to hide some fields it on frontend only:
http://iwinter.com.hr/support/?p=148
Or with custom php code like this you can hide any part of code for specific user type:
<?php if($this->session->userdata('type')=='ADMIN'): ?>
//This will be visible only for admin
<?php endif; ?>
Add additional sort / order on homepage
Some PHP + HTML knowledge is required for this.
For version >= 1.5.5.:
This feature is only available for this type of fields: ‘INPUTBOX’, ‘DECIMAL’, ‘INTEGER’
For example that you want to enable filtering by: “Energy efficient”
Go to Admin->Real estates->Fields->Edit “Energy efficient” and click on “Enable numerical filtering”:
Now you need to add additional field in dropdown on homepage.
For realocation template for example open templates\{your-template}\widgets\center_recentproperties.php (or another if you using) add additional option in:
<select class="form-control pull-right selectpicker-small" placeholder="<?php _l('Sort'); ?>">
<option value="id ASC" <?php _che($order_dateASC_selected); ?>><?php _l('DateASC'); ?></option>
<option value="id DESC" <?php _che($order_dateDESC_selected); ?>><?php _l('DateDESC'); ?></option>
<option value="price ASC" <?php _che($order_priceASC_selected); ?>><?php _l('PriceASC'); ?></option>
<option value="price DESC" <?php _che($order_priceDESC_selected); ?>><?php _l('PriceDESC'); ?></option>
</select>
For example:
<option value="field_59_int ASC" <?php _che($order_field_59_int_ASC_selected); ?>><?php _l('Energy efficient'); ?></option>
Also you should add it in: templates\{your-template}\results.php
if value is not numeric then you should:
into property_lang database table add:
varchar(200)utf8_
varchar(200)utf8_
Add this:
<option value=”field_7 ASC”>Your option name</option>
7 in that case represents field ID
One example:

If you have issue with results ordering:
Please check application\models\estate_m.php, line around 592 you can find:
$value_n = str_replace("'", '', $value_n);
$value_n = str_replace("’", '', $value_n);
$value_n = str_replace(",", '', $value_n);
You can customize this code by your needs.
Example for format: #.###,00
$value_n = str_replace("'", '', $value_n);
$value_n = str_replace("’", '', $value_n);
$value_n = str_replace(".", '', $value_n); // to remove dot
$value_n = str_replace(",", '.', $value_n); // to replace , with dot
After that you should edit->save your available properties.
Regarding filters on search form:
Regarding this filters, you cahn change functionality in:
templates\bootstrap2-responsive\components\head.php, search for:
/* [START] NumericFields */
$(function() {
<?php if(config_db_item('swiss_number_format') == TRUE): ?>
$('input.DECIMAL').number( true, 2, '.', '\'' );
$('input.INTEGER').number( true, 0, '.', '\'' );
<?php else: ?>
$('input.DECIMAL').number( true, 2 );
$('input.INTEGER').number( true, 0 );
<?php endif; ?>
});
/* [END] NumericFields */
Swiss number formating
You can enable swiss number formating in cms_config.php, add:
$config['swiss_number_format'] = TRUE;
And customize example code by your wish.
