OS Property 3.21.2

OS Property - The best JOOMLA Real Estate extension. It has enormous features which helps you to build the best advertising for your Real Estate properties, with modern layouts and technologies, 100% responsive. We believe OS Property is the best choice for Sale, Lease and Rent Properties Online.


Version: 3.21.2 Last Updated: Feb 26 2024 Compatible: Joomla 3.9.0+, Joomla 4, Joomla 5

Joomla 5 compatible

1. Joomla 5 compatible

The most important “feature” of Joomla 5.0 is removing deprecated code. This makes Joomla future-proof. And from now, you can install and test OS Property on Joomla 5 normally.


2. Replacing cron tasks (Joomla 4++ environment)

In previous Joomla 3 versions, you can setup cron task on your servers to cron task files in OS Property

• root -> components -> com_osproperty -> cron.php
• root -> components -> com_osproperty -> importcsv.php

But from Joomla 4 version, this way won't work anymore. To replace it, we develop 2 system plugins:

• System plugin - OS Property cron task - Alerts notification
• System plugin - Import CSV

Those plugins are use to check and send alert notification to users and importing properties from CSV files. With those plugins, you can setup cron tasks from your server to call the direct links on your site by this command

By default, OS Property uses a system plugin to trigger sending alert notifications. That mean it requires someone access to the site (search engine bots are also counted) to trigger process. Sometime, it is not reliable or causes multiple emails sent to administrators in case your site has a very high traffic. To address that limitation, you can setup cron job from your hosting account to trigger sending reminder notifications instead. Please see detailed instructions below:

1. Go to Extensions -> Plugins, find the plugin OS Property - Cron task - Alert notification and OS Property - Cron task - Import CSV, click on it to edit. You should see a parameter called Trigger Code . Enter a secret string there.
2. Setup a cron job to make a request to this URL using CURL (note that you should use the CURL so that the variable can be passed in the GET request, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11375260/cron-command-to-run-url-address-every-5-minutes for detailed instructions

https://domain.com/index.php?trigger_code=SECRETCODE

• Replace https://domain.com/ with URL of your site
• Replace SECRETCODE with the secret string which you entered in the Trigger Code parameter

That will make the reminder only processed when there is a request made to that URL (which should be secret as no real users will access to that URL). It will make it more reliable compare to replying a system plugin.

3. Improve source code

We continuously change and improve the code structure to make the product work better, faster and meet the strict requirements of users.


4. Bugs fixed

Various bugs in previous versions fixed.
