Instructions on setting up CMS Realty. Please refer to the version history page for a list of changes. 


Upgrading from Previous Versions
There is no upgrade path. Uninstall any older versions and install the latest version. Any menu items created for the older version may still work although it is recommended that they be replaced.


1) Install Joomla (v1.0.8 or later)
If you do not know how how to install Joomla click here.

2) Install Open-Realty (version 2.4.0 or later)
But not in the same directory as your Joomla installation. It is also recommended that you use the same database as your Joomla installation. If you choose to use a separate database for Open-Realty then you must access it with a different username to your Joomla database. For example, if you access your Joomla database with username 'fred' then do not use 'fred' to access your Open-Realty database.

If you do not know how to install Open-Realty click here.

Configure Open-Realty
Log on to Open-Realty (e.g. http://www.yoursite.com/openrealty/admin), go to the Site Config page and select the following options:
  • URL Type - Standard URL
  • Site Template - cms_integration
  • Administrative Template - cms_admin_template


3) Setup the CMS Realty Component
Download the latest version.
  • Log on to your Joomla administrators page, e.g. www.yoursite.com/administrator
  • Go to the Components menu and select Install/Uninstall (the top item)
  • From this page select the Browse button and select the com_cmsrealty_joomla.zip file from your local drive.
  • Hit the Upload File & Install button.
Assuming you get a Success message the component should now be installed. To configure it:
  • From the Components menu select CMS Realty
  • Enter the full path (with trailing slash) to your Open Realty installation, e.g. /home/yoursite/public_html/openrealty/
  • To enable user integration check the Enable User Integration checkbox. Read the user integration notes.
  • Click Save

4) Create Joomla Menu Items
Create at least one menu item to point to Open-Realty by creating a Component menu item and selecting CMS Realty from the component list. Save it by clicking Apply.

Choose an Open-Realty page for the menu item to display by selecting an item from the 'Open-Realty Page' dropdown list. Save the menu item.


You can also use more advanced options instead, by entering Open-Realty URL query strings in the 'Open-Realty Parameters' text field. Entering text here will take precedence over the dropdown list so be sure that you understand what you are doing before using this option.
For example, to show the Open-Realty search page enter:
action=searchpage
