How to center watermark on images?

This is currently possible with customization:

In script version 1.5.5.:

Open file application\libraries\UploadHandler.php, lines around 383:
search for $watermark_centered = FALSE; and change to TRUE

In script versions <= 1.5.4. :

Open file application\libraries\UploadHandler.php, lines around 375, or search for “$sy = imagesy($stamp);”.

There you should change existing  code with something like:

// Set the margins for the stamp and get the height/width of the stamp image
//$marge_right = 10;
//$marge_bottom = 10;
//$sx = imagesx($stamp);
//$sy = imagesy($stamp);
// center watermark on the photo
$wx = (imagesx($new_img)/2)-(imagesx($stamp)/2);
$wy = (imagesy($new_img)/2)-(imagesy($stamp)/2);
//$success = $success && imagecopy($new_img, $stamp, imagesx($new_img) – $sx – $marge_right, imagesy($new_img) – $sy – $marge_bottom, 0, 0, imagesx($stamp), imagesy($stamp));

Add field / option manually via phpmyadmin

For WP themes or plugin version:

If you accidentally remove red locked option from the database and now you need it… Now can be added via phpMyAdmin only, SQL queries:

wp_ is database prefix, may be different based on your wp configuration.

80 is field id in such example for badge

INSERT INTO `wp_sw_field` (`idfield`, `parent_id`, `order`, `type`, `is_locked`, `is_table_visible`, `is_preview_visible`, `is_submission_visible`, `is_hardlocked`, `is_required`, `is_translatable`, `is_quickvisible`, `max_length`, `repository_id`, `image_filename`, `image_gallery`, `image_id`, `columns_number`) VALUES (80, NULL, NULL, 'DROPDOWN', '1', NULL, NULL, '1', '1', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);

and then:

INSERT INTO `wp_cp_4`.`wp_sw_field_lang` (`idfield_lang`, `field_id`, `lang_id`, `field_name`, `values`, `prefix`, `suffix`, `hint`, `placeholder`) VALUES (NULL, '80', '1', 'Badge', 'b1,b2,b3', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);

Then will appear like this:

For PHP scripts:

If you accidentally remove red locked option from the database and now you need it… Now can be added via phpMyAdmin only, SQL queries:

To add option:

INSERT INTO `option` (`id` ,`parent_id` ,`order` ,`type` ,`visible` ,`is_locked` ,`is_frontend` ,`is_hardlocked`
) VALUES ('4', '0', NULL , 'DROPDOWN', '1', '1', '1', '1')

To add translations for option:

INSERT INTO `option_lang` (`option_id`, `language_id`, `option`, `values`, `prefix`, `suffix`) VALUES
(4, 1, 'Purpose', 'Sale,Rent,Sale and Rent', NULL, ''),
(4, 2, 'Namjena', 'Prodaja,Najam,Prodaja i najam', NULL, '');

In this example we adding ID #4,  and 1,2 was languages ID.

Another example for translation with just one language:

INSERT INTO `option_lang` (`option_id`, `language_id`, `option`, `values`, `prefix`, `suffix`) VALUES
(8, 1, 'Short description', '', NULL, '');

In this example we adding ID #8,  and 1 was languages ID because now we have only one language.

By ID of course we mean original field ID which you need to restore.

example query for listing category in classified script:

Category have ID field 79, so based on guide add field with id 79 manually, type is TREE
example query:
INSERT INTO `option` (`id` ,`parent_id` ,`order` ,`type` ,`visible` ,`is_locked` ,`is_frontend` ,`is_hardlocked`
) VALUES ('79', '0', NULL , 'TREE', '1', '1', '1', '1')

To add translations for option:

INSERT INTO `option_lang` (`option_id`, `language_id`, `option`, `values`, `prefix`, `suffix`) VALUES
(79, 1, 'Listing Category', '', NULL, '');

How to add custom field to property preview page?

First you should add new field via your administration:
Admin->Real estate->Fields (You can see # part there, what is field ID)

Then you should add it to your template file property.php

{estate_data_option_#}

Where # represents field id / key of option

You can also use alternative PHP syntax, for example:

<?php if(!empty($estate_data_option_#))echo $estate_data_option_#; ?>

More details are available in documentation:

http://iwinter.com.hr/real-estate/documentation/#!/property_template

To add new category, most simple way is to just copy example code from another category and modify by your needs.

Or use this code example:

<?php

    $category_id = 1;

?>

<?php if(isset(${"category_options_$category_id"}) && ${"category_options_count_$category_id"}>0): ?>
<h3 class="page-header"><?php echo ${"options_name_$category_id"} ?></h3>
<div class="property-amenities clearfix">
    <ul>
        <?php foreach(${"category_options_$category_id"} as $key=>$row): ?>
        <?php if(!empty($row['option_value'])): ?>
            <?php if(count($row['is_text']) > 0): ?>
        
            <div class="panel-row"> 
                <p class="bottom-border"><strong><?php _che($row['option_name']); ?>:</strong> <span><?php echo _che($row['option_prefix']); ?> <?php echo _che($row['option_value']); ?> <?php echo _che($row['option_suffix']); ?></span><br style="clear: both;" /></p>

How to delete / remove hard / red locked fields / options?

All fields can be deleted but when it’s “hardlocked” then you should also change your template files manually (this is why it was hardlocked).
My suggestion is if you don’t like it to rename or change it, and not remove this locked fields.

If you really want to unlock those items, you need to know what you are doing, here is instructions:

Run this SQL query on your database via PhpMyadmin for example:
UPDATE `option` SET is_hardlocked=0
