I am trying to use basic realty section editors without the templates and without the field for the user (which links the listings & homepages) Only the admin will be adding listings and agents so this field won't work. I set-up a field called "agent" in the listings editor using the advanced field options & I can get a link to show the agents listings using that field but I can't figure out how to share it with the agent pages (home pages) there must be an easier way! Thanks

I am asking for your suggestion on how you would set that up. I want to be able to have agent home pages & show the agents listings exactly how it works in your template BUT I don't want each agent to have a log-in. Only one person will be entering agent info & listings. Your template uses the "createdByUserNum" to identify which listings belong to which agents.Can you recommend something?

Hi Darryl!

Actually, I'd continue using the default method, but simply change the "owner" of a record manually. When you're logged in as an admin, you can change the "Created by" by hitting the "Change" link.

Does that work for you?

Not ideal because the admin will have to add all those users but if it's the only way...

Not sure if I follow, but...

Wouldn't you have to add all the users in a section anyways? Having them under accounts would be the same, the only difference is they wouldn't be logging in. Then the admin would be manually selecting the "createdByUserNum" user for each listing. But even though the admin created the record the createdByUserNum would be the number of the agent they selected.

Does that make sense?
