New Real Estate Listing Module

By kenuck on

I’m asking for people with too much time on their hands to test out a new real estate module I created called rListing. It’s not a heavy duty full of feature kind of module but I’m hoping it will do the job. The idea here is simplicity and ease of use. Basically something you can download install and use without having to playing around with views/CCK ... etc. More geared towards people with less experience in Drupal.

This beta version includes usability improvements and lots of bug fixes for issues which the testers encountered. The first beta announcement provided a comprehensive list of high level improvements made since Drupal 5.x, so in this announcement we'll concentrate on how you can help ensure that Drupal 6 is released as soon as possible and is as rock solid as the previous Drupal releases that you've grown to love!

Major changes made since the release of Drupal 6 beta 2 include several code and interface documentation fixes and improvements, HTML validity fixes, performance improvements and easier to use templating. The core system now also runs without table locks and temporary tables, making Drupal usable in more shared hosting environments, and also improving performance at the same time. Localization support in the installer is now complete, as well as error reporting and requirements management through the installation process. One of the major usability improvements in this beta release is the addition of drag and drop ordering support to the blocks, menus and filter formats administration interface.
