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”:

numeric_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_unicode_ci

Add this:

<option value=”field_7 ASC”>Your option name</option>

7 in that case represents field ID

One example:

ordering_default

ordering_example_selection

You need very custom number formating?

You can enable beta feature numeric field in cms_config.php:

$config['enable_numeric_input'] = TRUE;

After that you can change field type in admin->real estate->fields->price related fields.

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

$config['swiss_number_format'] = TRUE;

How to change pseudo variables to php variables in template files?

Pseudo variables in standard codeigniter template variables: http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/parser.html

This is instructions:

{last_estates}
{/last_estates}

Should be changed to this:

<?php foreach($last_estates as $item): ?>
<?php endforeach(); ?>

And variables inside like:

{thumbnail_url}

Should be changed to:

<?php echo $item['thumbnail_url']; ?>

This for example:

{has_option_36}
{/has_option_36}

to:

<?php if(empty($item['option_36'])): ?>
<?php endif; ?>

To be hanest, I will change all pseudo variables in future to real PHP variables because cause only problems when somebody like you want to customize something, format something differently etc…
