More Agent Branding on Property Details: 3 new features

The following changes are in place with immediate effect. The goal is to significantly enhance your own branding and contact details on Property Details.
1. There is a new option on the Website Settings panel that will show a full sticky header across the entire listing (when viewing as an overlay). See instructions for Branded header.
2. We have replaced the "Schedule a Tour" block on the right side of the Home Details with a brand new summary display of your contact details with a form to get contact "Ask a Local Expert".
3. We have moved the "Listing Agent" details from the panel with the QR code, into a section appended to the end of the property features list.

Joomla! 3 and 4 Plugin Updates

A new Buying Buddy plugin is available for Joomla! 4.

The plugin files can be downloaded from the Install on Joomla support page.

SHOW MORE option on Property Details is removed.

We have updated the Property Details layout to remove the SHOW MORE button that was used to hide most of the property features. So now when viewing property details, all the features will be visible immediately.

Buying Buddy JavaScript Plugin Update for faster loading

This update applies to the JavaScript plugin, i.e. NOT WordPress.
We are now using AWS Cloudfront to serve the Buying Buddy plugin files, which will speed up plugin load times. When copying the Plugin Install code to use on your website, the new files paths are applied.
If you installed the JavaScript plugin before June 26 2022, then your plugin is still fully functional, but it will be using the old file paths. If you wish to update the plugin code to use the new methods, then login to your dashboard to copy the latest install code and use this to fully replace existing plugin code on your website. See the installation instructions for how to do this.
