"SOLD" Feature

One great feature would be able to display properties as SOLD.

Similar to how realty companies operate, this will allow agents to show off recently sold properties for a time after the sale. It's would be a great addition for realty and development companies to maintain a little portfolio, and really play into marketing strategy.

Here are some ideas for features within this enhancement:

[*]Put a checkbox in the property setup to allow for flagging it as "Sold"
[*]Superimpose a "SOLD" banner over one of the corners of the preview images
[*]Add a little "SOLD" talk bubble above sold properties on the map view
[*]Disable "Request a Showing" in the property view for sold properties
[*]Display "SOLD" in red letters where the price would normally go in a property references (e.g. search tables, featured properties, category view, etc.), but leave it, in addition to "SOLD", in the full property listing page.

I'd love to hear what other ideas people have on this!

I concur!  This would be a wonderful addition to this module.

Thanks for you input - we'll try to get this built into the next release. Joey we were discussing over email of a work-around to the "sold" option. To add this as a temporary fix to the sale type dropdown list, you can go into the 'components/com_iproperty/helpers/html.helper.php' file and find the 'stype_select_list' function. You can add/edit any of the options you see in the sale type dropdown here. For example to add "Sold" to the list, you would modify the function to look like:

function stype_select_list($tag, $attrib = '',$sel = '')
{
$stypes = array();
$stypes[] = JHTML::_('select.option', '', JText::_( 'SALE TYPE' ) );
$stypes[] = JHTML::_('select.option', 1, JText::_( 'FOR SALE' ) );
$stypes[] = JHTML::_('select.option', 2, JText::_( 'FOR LEASE' ) );
$stypes[] = JHTML::_('select.option', 3, JText::_( 'FOR SALE OR LEASE' ) );
$stypes[] = JHTML::_('select.option', 4, JText::_( 'FOR RENT' ) );
$stypes[] = JHTML::_('select.option', 5, 'Sold' );
return JHTML::_('select.genericlist', $stypes, $tag, $attrib, 'value', 'text', $sel );
}

The idea of having the "Sold" banner on the property overview is a good idea and when we have time, we will get that in the new release. Thanks agian for your input!

Thanks again Vinny!  Makes perfect sense.
