I am trying to:
looking for step by step guide from the first scratch to create a house in real estate reference
I visited this URL:
https://toolset.com/learn/create-a-real-estate-wordpress-theme/real-estate-customization-guide/
I expected to see:
step by step guide to do to create 1 type of post (example : houses)
Instead, I got:
Customizing things that is done there..

[Beda]

This is the DOC on how to create a Custom Post Type.
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/create-a-custom-post-type/

You could also instal Framework Installer, and download the example Site "Real Estate".
Then, you can see who the things are set up for that specific situation.
https://toolset.com/account/downloads/#application-frameworks

In that reference site, Houses are simple Post types set up with Types plugin, as above Documentation will teach you how you can do this.

Let me know if you need specific help on this.

Thank you

Hi Beda,
Thank you for your reply. Your documentation is great. However that is not what I mean. You don't need to teach on details buttons to buttons or codes to codes.. I just need overview step. For example to create a Houses, in complete with all it's content and the archive page and it's search function Here below what I know:
1. I need to create a Post Type
2. I need to create Taxonomies needed.
3. I need to create Post fields needed.
4. Then what next? Content Template for the details content I assume..
5. What next? Layout? View? which one first? What to do in big picture?

That's all the basic points needed to understand how to build with your great toolset.
I know how to install the reference sites. But to read it and understand which one you create first and next that's nearly impossible for somebody who just new about toolset. For now all I do is I read it backward from the done sample and read code to code to understand and "assuming" what you build before. And it really times consuming.
If you have just that point to point overview, please advise, I'm sure it would be very useful for other newcomers to toolset.

Thanks..

Archives can not have Search Functions.

Search is implemented on a Post View only.

1. Create a Post Type and name it houses
2. Add all Fields in Toolset > Post Fields you need, and assign this Post Fields group to the Post Type houses
3. Create some Houses Posts and fill out all details and the Custom Fields
4. Create a View, and query the Post Type "Houses"
5. With the Wizard "Add Filter", you can add a filter for your custom fields
6. Insert things to your Loop, in the View, that you want to display (such as post title or similar). Use as well the GUI for this.
7. Insert the View into any page or post you want.

Custom Fields will hold all "add On " data to your Houses
If you need a House to say "I have 4 bedrooms", create a numerical Field or a Select Field where you insert the amount of Bedrooms

If each Bedroom must have also details such as size etc, this Bedroom must be a Child Post Type to your House.
This is slightly more elaborated to set up and described here:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/creating-post-type-relationships/
If you need many Bedrooms to be in different Houses, you need a Many To Many relation:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/many-to-many-post-relationship/

For richer categorization of your Houses, you can use taxonomies:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/create-custom-taxonomies/

Those can then also be used as a Parametric Search in the View where you query Houses.

This is elaborated here:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/front-page-filters/

You can style your single Houses with Content Templates, if you want (so to add more information then just the Native Post Data)
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/view-templates/

It's not mandatory, it's a decision that depends on what information you want to display. Native Post Data is also displayed without Content templates.
Content Templates just give you a major power on what and how to display.

If you want to use Layouts, you can, but it's not mandatory.
Layouts is used to create Templates, from the header to the footer:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/layouts-getting-started-guide/

You can assign those layouts to your Pages or Posts.

But you must integrate it first, if you are not using one of Our Themes or a theme integration:

Thank you
