Announcing catral.propertyhounds.com

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I am pleased to announce phase 1 of the new Property Hounds Catral website. Powered by Wordpress and the clearskys.net plugins collection. After a lot of work it is now ready for the public to use.

Amongst other things, the site utilises:

• A custom designed Wordpress theme.
• The enquiry and contact form plugin on all property pages
• Availability calendar widget on property pages
• Booking and availability calendar plugin
• New property based plugin functionality including:
  • Property referencedrop down widget
  • Property image list for tag widget
  • Property search form
  • Property Tag cloud
  • Results lists plugin
  • Refine criteria widget
  • Property details plugin

I will go into more detail on the construction of this site in later posts, and maybe feature some tutorials to show some of the techniques I used. If you want to know about a specific bit of functionality, then let me know.

I will also be adding more functionality in the next few days/weeks including map plugins and some other little bits of functionality.

Please note: This is a LIVE site, so please DO NOT send enquiries unless you really want to rent a property.

Lack of updates

Hi all, well as it would appear that this site hasn’t been updated for a while, I thought I would post this short note to let you know that I am still alive and still working on the clearskys.net systems and plugins.

We recently moved house (and office with it), but despite all of our planning it seems the telephone company didn’t share our enthusiasm an as such we have been without an internet connection for a short while.

The good news is the telephone line is now connected, and hopefully ADSL will be installed very soon, so we will be back up and running again (fingers crossed).

Looking for pre-alpha testers

Work is progressing nicely on our new plugins, and on upgrades to our existing plugins.

Due to the extra complexity in these new plugins (and upgrades) I would rather have some brave people test these out and spot any bugs that have made it past my stringent checks.

If you are interested in helping out, then please feel free to contact me, either by commenting on this post, or emailing team [at] clearskys [dot] net, and I will contact everyone when the plugins have reached a stage that I am happy with (will be within a week or two, rather than a day or two).
