About OpenDoor

OpenDoor is the long awaited followup on the hugely successful OpenHouse/Automotiv theme bundle (over 6,900 sales!) We have retained all of the best Openhouse features, and built on them, plus added lots of new features. OpenDoor combines both real estate and car sales into a single theme, where you can switch between the two in Theme Options. (step 1 of setup is to choose which mode: Real Estate, or Car Sales.)

Notable Features (For both Real Estate and Car Dealership mode)

New in v1.4: Listing detail pages can now have comments

New in v1.4: Option to hide search

New in v1.4: Option for either full width homepage slideshow OR smaller slideshow next to the Search/Browse by accordions. Sample for Real Estate, Sample for car dealership

New in v1.3: re-designed gallery view in listing detail page

New in v1.3: Option to have blog/news items displayed in rows rather than in a grid

New in v1.3: Embeded video in widgets now responsive

New in v1.3: better multilanguage support (many things previously not translatable now are)

Compatible with OpenHouse/Automotiv. If you are coming from OpenHouse or Automotiv, then changing to OpenDoor is a breeze. All your current Openhouse listings will easily carry over to this theme, so you will not need to re-post them. The only little thing is that all “banners” will need to be re-chosen in each listing, as the architecture for banners is totally different.

Fully responsive. (But not if you use the dsIDXpress plugin) Looks great on all screen sizes ranging from small phone to large monitor. Scan QR Code above with your phone to see. (Note: if you use the dsIDXpress plugin, then pages generated by it are not responsive. Not my fault!)

Robust Theme Options and Posting backend (for listings).See video.

Advanced search. Each search dropdown can shown or hidden

Search results, recent listings, etc. can display in 2 ways: blocks of 3 per row, or 1 per row.

Compare listings. Check the boxes next to each search result and compare them all side by side. Maximum of 5. (Not in dsIDXpress plugin search results)

Easily customizable. Customize header height, header color/image, background color/image, footer color/image, and more.

Homepage can include one or all 3 of these areas: Latest Listings, Latest blog posts, and widgetized block (up to 3 widgetized areas). The order of these areas can be set in Theme Options.

Call To Action section. Under slideshow on homepage are optional Call to Action buttons. Customizable in Theme Options. Note: each call to action block is an image, so it is not translatable.

Translation-ready (qTranslate plugin required) No .po or .mo files necessary! Only things NOT translation-ready is the banner text, and Loan Calculator (in Real Estate mode).

Mark a listing as ‘Sold’ and have the ability to filter out all Sold listings from all places in site.

Page Template to show all ‘Sold’ listings.

Social networking: Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, LinkedIn, YouTube, Flickr, and Pinterest. Include/exclude any of them from Theme Options.

Enter a custom text to replace the price. For example: “Call for Price”, or “As low as $250,000”. Text is set on a post-by-post basis.

Define unlimited types of banners in Theme Options. Each banner can even have a custom color tip.

Loan Calculator (can be removed in Theme Options)

Custom Shortcodes (Accordion, responsive columns, buttons, and more)

Lots of widgetized areas. 4 on homepage, one on each sub page side bar, and 4 in footer.

Custom page templates

Customize the wording of any section title, label, static text, etc. in Theme Options. Even in multiple languages without the need for .po and .mo files.

Live and always up to date documentation in the form of a Google Docs public document. Ability to “comment” inside the documentation if you thing something needs clarification, or if there is an error.

HTML 5, CSS3 enhancements

Upload only one large image, and theme will take care of resizing/cropping for display throughout site in different sizes. (No dependency on problematic timthumb.php script for this to work)

Top notch support via Themeforest comments, email, and support forum. (Forum is highly encouraged so others will benefit)
