Points to remember

This is a unofficial hack. Please do not ask for support at the Open Realty website. They will laugh at you and swear at me. If you have any comments or questions please  leave your comments here. I’ll answer them.

The hack is about 70% finished. I’ll finish it if there is enough requests. Read more to the bottom about the parts that is not finished.

Do not use this hack with a Open Realty installation version before 2.5.3. It was not tested.

Do try this on a test basis before using it.

What is nice about this hack?

This was build with the super cool 960 grid system, and will give you the minimum amout of hasles in any browser.

There is only one image used in the design. That means that you will be able to change this template to any colour that you like with the minimum of effort.

Although this is a hack, it is already used on a real busy website with no issues. This means that it will probably work as is for you.

You can instantly change the list icons. I made use of the very nice Famfamfam silk icon range.

I have startd to imncorporate a very nice error message styling with the template, that will easily pull your visitor’s eye to any admin messages.

What does 70% finnish means?

I have not touched the following:

  • Vtours
  • File folders
  • Agent images
  • Agent files
  • Content page editor.

I still have to incorporate and style all the nessecary error and info messages.

I still want to restyle and reorder a lot of table style.

Template commenting and documentation needs to be jacked up.

Come to think about it, this will be 90% finnished for more that 80% of the users of this system.

What do I think of the Open Realty developers.

I have the biggest respect for them. I also support them for not acknowledging of the mod that I have done. They have their targets, and can not be side tracked by every Tom Dick and Harry trying out something new.

I tried something and it seems to work. If you want to try it and it works for you, good.
