One of the few shortcomings with the current iteration of Open-Realty®, hopefully soon to be addressed in the long-awaited version 2.5 release, is the ability to search the list of agents [view_users] and an extension to the longitude/latitude functionality allowing us to put our agents on the map. Whilst TransparentMAPS addon addresses some of the latter functionality a new add-on from Cogent Internet Solutions takes a stab at the former;

This addon allows you to search an agent by city and / or state. All you need to do is create two fields in the agent template form. One for city and one for state. Make sure that the fields are published. Upload the search agent addon into your addon folder. Addon built for version 2.4.3.

We have added a second version available for download due to requests. The second version has five fields consisting of: city, state, name, company and email.

Both downloads are available for you to download.

Another Banner Ads add-on has emerged, hopefully less prone to attack then existing versions of the application. The author says…

bannerR is an Open-Realty® Addon, that allow you to place banner advertisements on your Open-Realty® site. There are 2 banner types, two are static banners and the banner only changes when the page is refreshed. Other two are rotating banners that rotate the banner after displaying specified amount of time. Within these two types of banners, there are horizontal and vertical banners. Horizontal banners are wide and vertical banners are tall. Any of these banners can be displayed on your page using simple tags. The admin area allows you to add, edit, and delete banners.

You can find more details and all the necessary links here.
