John,
I still use OR but I find it awfully clunky. While templating is easy in OR customization is painful. The whole addon structure is very restrictive and unituitive. I have a number of RE clients and I would love to build a RE site on MODx but there are a number of considerations:
1. Are they going to input their own listings? OR do they need RETS integration?
2. Is it a broker site? Broker sites need to have multiple agents, agent profiles and possibly user management.
3. What listings information do they wish to share? What fields are necessary?
RE sites differ so greatly, I think these have as many variables as eCommerce sites. I would think one could easily build a RE site using:
- AjaxSearch
- Ditto
- WebLoginPE
You would need to have lots of TVs and each agent will want something different. I personally would like to see that for adding agents could add from the back end but TinyMCE is not the interface to add images nor are TVs. Too many images required for now. Maxigallery and FDM would be apossible solution but on the same form and not two seperate interfaces I’d think.
