Congratulations, you have installed Open-Realty 2.0 and can complete the setup of your site using your new software.

First, install any 3rd party templates that you have decided to use. If you want to make your own template, check out the Template Documentation.

First read the Site Configuration section and make any changes you want to your configuration.

You now have your open-realty install setup, now you can start to define how you want your listings to be setup. The first step is to make a list of the fields you want each listing to be able to have. You need to remove any of the existing fields you don't want, edit the content of existing fields to suit your needs, and create any new fields using the Listing Template Editor.

Now that your listing fields are setup, you should setup any fields you want to have for agents. This work similar to the method used above to edit your listings template. See the Agent Template Editor section for more information.

The last set of fields you need to setup are the Member fields. These are what users will have to fill in to sign up to save searches and favorite listings. Again, this the same process now using the Member Template Editor.

Go take a break and have a cup of coffee, you deserve it.

Next, you need to create agent accounts or any agents you need using the User Manager. If you turned on agent sign up in the Site Configuration agents can create their own accounts, and you don't need to do this for them.

Now that the agents are created, you can either start Adding Listings for them, or let them login and add their own listings. Also, I suggest reading some more information on the Virtual Tours.

One last feature of Open-Realty is you can edit non listing pages on your site using the Admin Page Editor. Image:adminpanel.jpg
