As mentioned last month, our primary focus for July was on our Real Estate module and we're happy to announce that we have it ready for release. The new version comes with a complete overhaul to the backend interface. The new interface not only brings it in line with the new Orbit theme but it will also make it much easier to manage your listings. We've also done a few other tweaks under the hood to aid with sharing on Facebook and also creating your brochures.
We've also made a significant behind the scenes update to our Portfolio module. This update is focused around caching of images with the aim of speeding up the time it takes to view a project. Currently it only takes affect for new images flagged on a project but admin can also manually trigger each image to gain the benefits. We're planning to roll out an automated tool to help everyone out shortly.
Our attention over the coming months will centre on tidying up some of our other remaining modules and then moving on to our e-Commerce module.
Here are some of the other noteworthy updates that have occurred over the last month:
Real Estate
Updated interface to match new Orbit 1.7 theme
Portfolio
Improved image caching to aid with speed times for loading projects
