Studio Apartments or Properties With Zero Bedrooms

Hi

At the moment the number of bedrooms drop down list starts at 1 but we have a lot of apartments with no bedrooms. Is it possible to add an option for no bedrooms? We'd like that option to be called Studio as this is what these are known as in the UK?

This would also need to show in the category listing so where it says:

1 bedroom | 1 bathroom

It should show

Studio | 1 bathroom

Thanks in advance.

Hi Zucom,
You can try to setup not to use Bedroom field at backend > OS Property > Configuration > Tab Properties. It will hide the Bedroom field at front-end of OS Property
Thanks

Hi Dam

Thanks for the reply but I think that suggestion would not work.

We want to use the bedrooms field but the software does not allow for properties with zero bedrooms. We have many properties with 1, 2, 3 or more properties but studios aren't allowed for.

This can't be just a UK specific request can it?

Hi Zucom,
In fact, when the property doesn't have any bedrooms (0 bedrooms), it won't show that information anymore. So i am a bit confuse with your request. What's "studios" as you want to mention to?
Thanks

Hi Dam

You've just described the problem perfectly so you must understand it.

A studio is what we call a property with zero bedrooms.

When a property has 1 or more bedrooms the listing shows:

1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom

When there are no beds, nothing is shown for bedrooms so you get:

1 Bathroom

We need to find a way to show "Studio" for when there are zero bedrooms:

Studio | 1 Bathroom

Also on the main listing page with 1 bedrooms+ it shows:

Beds: 1

But for Studios nothing, it needs to show:

Beds: Studio

Does that make sense?

Thanks again.

Ok Zucom,
I am understand now. To be honest, it's the first time i heard about this case. So i have a bit confuse with your question.
OS Property doesn't have option to show "Studio" as you want. But you can make the modification in the source code to make it to show as you want.
To make the modification, please follow these steps
1. Open file
components > com_osproperty > templates > your_current_template > listing.html.tpl.php
2. find
if($configClass == 1){
if($row->bed_room > 0){
$addInfo[] = $row->bed_room." ".JText::_('OS_BEDROOMS');
}
}

and replace by
if($configClass == 1){
if($row->bed_room == 0){
$addInfo[] = "Beds: Studio ";
}else{
$addInfo[] = "Beds: ".$row->bed_room;
}
}


Good lucks
Dam

Thanks Dam

Sorry for the slow response, I had to go out.

I will give this a try tomorrow, is it the same change for the category listings too? I need the Studio tag to show up both in the category listings and the property listing.

Thanks again.

Hi Zucom,
Please make the change first, and then, i will answer your other questions.
Thanks
