Jared,

Thanks! I am looking forward to seeing some of these in action.

I have two big decisions in front of me, and they are to use Open Realty or the new (unreleased?) EZProRealty. I realize that EZPRoRealty will likely have a different database structure and so switching over later for this client may not be easy. Since it is in non-release status today, and you have a slideshow plugin for Open Realty, I think I will go with Open Realty. Though this decision is somewhat hesitant.

I just cant get behind WP at this time. I love Joomla and all the wonderful templates out. Wordpress templates look like Wordpress templates and they just cant stack up to the features of Joomla. I did a search just now looking for commercial WP templates that have all the cool stuff Joomla does, and they just werent there.

Check out these Joomla tempate sites:

demo.rockettheme.com
demo.yootheme.com
shape5.com/demo/index.php

If you know any WP themes that can stack up against these I would be interested.

I love Joomla and I love Joomla 1.5. Theres no way around it. I know the new MVC code structure is a pain for some developers, as well as the license, but it really is the future and we need to get on board if possible.

I plan to use Joomla, and I plan to use J!1.5. So, the problem is integration. Currently I have considered NO ACTUAL INTEGRATION. Just run Open Realty in a wrapper, make some Joomla menus using links to Open Realty pages, and presto I'm done. I imagine my major hangups will be SEF URLs and the like. Also styling. Should I use the cms-integartion template? Any advice?

I am interested in the OR slideshow add-on, unless you can get me a copy of EZProRealty to start with.

I also want theUltimate IDX and will pay for now if you have a working copy.

I am going to PM you my email address.

Thanks Jared! Anything I can do to help, I will be around.
