Dakno Admin – Updates and Enhancements

We have updated the front side of our Dakno Admin websites. Some highlights are:

  • All maps have been updated. These come with new neighborhood, condo, and property markers.
  • We have re-written the neighborhood, condo, and property photo viewer.
  • The neighborhood, condo, property, area pages have been given a design refresh.

Other changes include:

  • Area module
    • /area will now have a focus on areas instead of neighborhoods and condos
    • The map has been removed from /area
    • We have added a new field for areas called “Short Description”, this will display on /area only and serve as teaser text for each area.
    • The dropdown has been removed from /area, and on individual area pages has been moved to the right and had it’s default height reduced.
    • Neighborhoods and Condos have been combined into one list and will display an appropriate header to describe what is in the list.
      • If your localization is Canadian, this header will say “Neighbourhoods”.
      • This list will also now be paged.
      • We have increased the thumbnail size of all neighborhoods and condos.
  • Neighborhood & Condo modules
    • A new field has been added. You can now specify a URL for listings without a custom field. This field will take precedence over the link that is auto-generated if you have properties connected to a neighborhood or condo in the property module.
    • These pages have been completely redesigned.
      • The main image has been made larger * See the photo viewer section for more info
      • We’ve adjusted the header so the neighborhood or condo name is first and the area name appears below.
      • The width of this page will automatically adjust based on your content area width.
    • /condo and /neighborhood now forward to /condo-results and /neighborhood-results. These pages show all available condos and neighborhoods in a paged format. They function very much like /property-list.php
  • Property module
    • property-list.php has been redesigned
      • Visitors can now hide the map.
      • There are now quick links to start a property search or refine a search if they came from the search page.
    • Property Detail pages have also been redesigned
      • The main image has been made larger * See the photo viewer section for more info
      • Downloads has been renamed “Property Resources”. Virtual tour will appear here as well as any uploaded files.
      • The map has a “directions” link in the lower right that will bring a visitor to a google directions page.
    • These pages will also adjust their styles based on your content area width.
  • Photo Viewer
    • The photo viewers no longer use a modal box.
    • Thumbnails have been made larger and are no longer cropped.
    • Clicking on an individual thumbnail will switch out the main image and will show the description, if available.
    • You can now scroll through thumbnails using the arrows on the left and right side.
    • The photo viewer will resize based on the available width of the content area.
  • Forms
    • Forms have been overhauled, they will better fill the available space.
