I'm just developing a estate agents site for a uk agent

http://www.abodeestates.com

This site requires that listings can be printed out , for use buy this agent as print media , i need to modify agent see to allow printing of these listings on a4 sheets of paper
3 seperate designs( templates) are needed

1 : A4 Property sheet - to place property listing in the window of the shop
2 : a4 property detail sheet - to post to customers
3 : A4 print out of a complete property list of available listings - to post to customers

What i was thinking of doing is just modifying proview.php to display the listings and use a set layout for each type of print out page layout

In this case i will have to create 3 different layouts ( using the propview.php in each one)

1 : print out for shop window - logo at the top of the page , website contact details at the bottom , listing in a table below , one big image of the property and maybe three smaller ones under neath , taking up around 50% of the page , bulleted features off the proiperty in bold worked in there, descriptions and property room sizes could be added below

2 : property detail sheet , similar to the listing above but this is used to send out via regular post to poeple interested in the property , we this one ust change the desgign alittle and add lots more text about the listing
maybe even turn this into 2 pages , so you can print both sides of a a4 sheet of papper

3 : a print out of current listings to be mailed out by post on a4 sheets of paper , maybe use proview.php , use the same layout as the other designs , but ust list propertys as thumbnailed images and breif descirptions next to them


I'm going to start this now and any help or feedback whould be helpfull , i guess other estate agents who use this code might need to use the extra print media functions something like this could do , it whould make a cool add on to agent see , i just hoping theres not a add on already done for this , it dosen't seem that hard to do , just modify the propview.php or detail.php to suit the requirments ,
but having nice links to click on in the admin section whould be good , but thats more work , i need to make it really easy for the clients to use it , so i'm going to have to create some admin front end to this

also on another note

HOW CAN I GET

Right move data feeds worked into open realty , plus other uk property portal sites

the site i'm working on requires property to be displayed on various property portals
