Building a Real Estate Site: Part 1
December 21, 2007
For the past few weeks I’ve been working on a new website for my real estate business. Designed to attract clients in the San Diego Real Estate market, I’ve managed to source many of the components, did much of the design, and now I’m moving on to the programming of the site.
I won’t say much about it except it’s a mashup of Joomla (open-source CMS), custom designed templates centered around a Yootheme template, custom joomla modules, Open Realty (real estate CMS), CMS Realty (integrates Joomla and Open Realty), and Sandicor RETS technologies.
Difficulties: Getting Joomla URLs search engine friendly and finding a blogging component that works with an SEF component for Joomla. I’ve been testing Mojo, a wordpress pluggin that works within Joomla. The problem is that the component doesn’t allow for the use of an SEF component that makes Joomla URLs look ‘not-joomla-like’.
Solution: wordpress blog on a subdomain. A Standalone wordpress solution with all the bells and whistles is much better than the Mojo solution. For one, all of the pluggins that you can get for wordpress, including an SEO pluggin that works wonders, will not work with Mojo. That means with Mojo - you’re left with the Article Title being used as the page title - not the best solution in terms of SEO.

I am now investigating the issue. Sh404Sef doesn’t work with it, that’s for sure…not sure if it will ever be possible actually.
They haven’t updated CMS realty since 2007…I can however make SH404Sef work with numerous other components.
Cheers!

And by the way the standard SEF component with Joomla doesn’t work in
versions 1.0+ does the native SEF component on Joomla 1.5 work better?

You also use WordPress and Joomla simultaneously using the wrapper component. But you need to fix the WordPress .css so it fits in the frame of your Joomla site.

Thank goodness for the E-cig!!! I have smoked regular cigarettes for 30 years and have never been able to quit. I have tried everything on the market: Chantex, nicotene patches, inhalers everything- without any luck. I did quit for 2 months before with patches but with e-cigs, I have been quit for 4 months with no interest in going back! I just hope the FDA leaves us alone because I use them as a replacement and they have to be alot better to utilize than regular cigarettes-health wise!!
