  • Broken Listing Flyer Link
    The responsive version of the featured listings details page was drawing a broken link to the print flyer screen.

  • Virtual Tours under HTTPS
    When a virtual tour URL on a listing had HTTPS as the protocol we were erroneously trying to format it, and mangling it in the process.

  • Open Graph Listing Description Sanitization
    Listing descriptions are used to produce open graph description tags (for use when sharing the page on social media). However, when the description contained html content, this broke the page. Sanitization code has been added to prevent this.

  • New Option for How to Display Bathrooms
    There is now a setting that controls how bathrooms are displayed – specifically half baths. The setting is under Admin Menu: Settings: Listing Display. There were also inconsistencies between how various pages and widgets displayed bathroom data. These will be consistent now.

  • MailChimp Account Linking Error
    When attempting to link a MailChimp account via a user with insufficient privileges, an ugly 500 error would be thrown. Now, this error will be properly caught and reported in a more palatable format to the user.

    Not all listing widgets were respecting the customer setting to hide courtesy of notices.

  • Video on Responsive Listing Details Page
    The responsive markup for listing details was not properly displaying video embed code when it was available on a listing.

    When uploading files via the file picker window, the quota check would erroneously prevent uploads after 100MB regardless of the current quota.

  • Ignore Non-Fatal Errors When Syncing MailChimp Lists
    An informational error from the MailChimp API was causing a hard 500 error when attempting to sync lists. This error is now ignored.

    An error has been fixed that was causing certain new leads to not display in LeadTracker. New lead emails were sent to both the agent and the new lead.
