How to realise this search option?

[mamboindo]

Ok here is the Big one!!! This is the normal option:"borrowed from the demo"


http://open-realty.org/open-realty2/index.php?action=searchresults&type=Condominium
Note the action !
I want to realise this:

http://open-realty.org/open-realty2/index.php?action=rentalsearchpage&type=Condominium
Note the action !

Basically it means that I have to make in the listing set-up two different kind of types I assume: 1 type for sales and one type for rentals and both types filled with the appropriate parameters (home/villa/condo/apartment/
townhouse/etc). I also will have to add and change the language file...also the menu........no problem so far...only I see some problems arising I think in the /include//search.inc.php & class/templates.inc.php amongst maybe others I did not notice yet. The first part (two types +/+ additional parameters +/+ menu +/+ language I foresee no problems.
However since I have no knowledge of PHP I see problems arising in the Search functions. This is part of the menu I would like to implement (example) to make the purpose of the search topic clear:

General Search

Properties for Sale
Properties for Rent/Lease
Search Agents

Properties for Sale

Villa
Familyhome
Townhouse
Condominium
Apartment
Others

Properties for Rent

Villa
Familyhome
Townhouse
Condominium
Apartment
Others


Land/Plots

for Sale
for Lease

Commercial Estate

for Sale
for Rent/Lease


The individual specifications one can add or file within adding a listing.

At this moment OR offers me only to Search either on Sales (home/land/farm/commercial as different types which can be searched and displays at types (menu-items) but OR only offers a general search option for rentals without the option of presentation of the different types as "for sale types" can.

In other words: " how to change the search PHP's so that this is possible? (once again I am NOT a programmer!)

Thanks in advance. It would solve a major problem I have with OR

Not possible now. Will be implemented in 2.1 (?)/That's what I've read somewhere here/. I need it as well. Search forum for more info on it.

Ryan,

Being the Lead Developer of the project are you able to comment on this please? It is such as basic function for any real estate site and as I described I think it would be not too difficult to realise this search function for an experienced PHP-programmer? Or do I see it too simple????
