jobberBase Pro 1.0 has arrived
We’re extremely happy to announce version 1.0 of jobberBase Pro, aimed at customers who need a jobsite with employer accounts and payment integration, features not available in the open-source version of jobberBase.
It costs $199/license/domain and you get the complete source-code and free upgrades for 1 year.
Follow this blog and @jobberbase on twitter for further updates.
1.7 + site refresh + jobberBase Pro
Indeed, a new version is out, thanks to all of those who made it happen!
In the name of the jobberBase dev team, I’d like to thank every person who got involved in our community and helped others get things done. We truly appreciate your effort.
You probably noticed the refreshed UI on jobberbase.com. We’ve began to list some jobberBase-powered sites and hope to see that list grow. If you have a jobberBase site that isn’t listed there, give us an email at hello [at] jobberbase [dot] com.
One more thing… we’re preparing a Pro/Premium version of jobberBase, with employer admin, resume management and paypal payment integration and plan to sell it at an affordable price.
We’ll continue to develop both the open-source and pro versions, while trying to figure out how to bring the most value to the world.
It’s been a great ride until now, and it’s only getting better! 
Version 1.6 in the house
We’re really happy to announce this version, with lots of bug fixes and a few handy new features:
- fixed: ‘Invalid use of group function’ exception in class.Stats.php
- fixed: a database query exception was thrown if the search string contained a city that existed in the DB and ended in a space character (ie: “london “). This happened only for live-searches (via AJAX)
- fixed: made the select query compatible with mysql 4 in class.SpamReport.php
- fixed: a database query exception was thrown if the words in the search query were separated by many whitespace characters (ie: “one two three”) delete the jobs but don’t remove the job applications) category were displayed which could lead to huge results because if you’re on the index page you will get *ALL* active jobs from the DB
- fixed: allow to install jobberbase in a folder called “jobs” - thanks to links
- fixed: the total number of applications/searches was not computed correctly; return meaningful data even if there are no applications/searches in class.Stats.php
- fixed: the number of jobs per company was wrong - it also included jobs that are not active
- fixed: CheckPosterEmail was called needlessly when displaying jobs thus degrading performance (see http://www.jobberbase.com/forum/post2994.html)
- fixed: although set, the job type (ie: full time, part time) was not remembered in the pagination process and thus the pagination was incorrect
- fixed: a database query exception was thrown if more than one city was found from the search keywords
- fixed: the URLs in the mail that is sent after a job is actived by the administrator are wrong
- fixed: multiple emails were sent to the job poster if the jobberbase based site had google ads - thanks to links
- fixed: moved stats in admin (/admin/stats/)
- fix/enh: tweaked the query that gets the job applications so that only applications which still point to a job are returned (in case you manually
- enh: GetJobsCountForAllCategs makes a single query now instead of a query for *each* category
- enh: now, only one query is used to get the number of jobs per companies, instead of one query for *each* company
- enh: if the search query is empty, do nothing - until now (which was pretty confusing from end user point of view), all the jobs for the current
- added: i18n for labels inside javascript files
- new: possibility to show cities in sidebar instead of categories (configurable from config.php)
- new: SEO for Job Categories - thanks to CtCoder
- new: spotlight jobs (sponsored jobs) - thanks to chronos
- new: ‘Edit post’ functionality in admin
This release would not be possible without the hours put in by putypuruty and links. Thank you, my friends!
Go ahead and download jobberBase.
jobberBase jobs
Dear all,
We’re very happy to announce a new site we’ve been working on in the past year:
jobberBase jobs
What is it?
jobberBase jobs is a search engine for jobs, worldwide!
We’re currently aggregating over 20 jobberBase-powered jobsites and are working towards extending our reach.
How to get listed
Job listings are 100% FREE.
In order to display job ads from a certain website, we only require access to an XML file containing all the jobs and that’s it!
Talk to us
If you run into any kind of problems or discover bugs on the site, please feel free to get in touch and we’ll answer gladly!
We’re also available for any type of inquiries.
That’s it :).

20k downloads!
Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is my great pleasure to announce that jobberBase has been downloaded more than 20.000 times until know (in 11 months since it was launched)!
Seeing its increasing popularity (only positive reviews, wonderful personal feedback, increasing number of community members and activity), we’ve decided to bring jobberBase more into our focus and are therefore planning new stuff.
The most challenging item on our agenda is an Application/Module Store, similar to Apple’s iPhone App Store. We’ll allow developers to publish jobberBase modules and sell them to others, while keeping a symbolic transaction-based fee for ourselves.
And we plan to launch the store by the end of this year, so… fingers crossed!
Special thanks to our community members, for keeping this project alive!
Thanks, guys!
Version 1.5 beta 1 - bug fixes
I’ve just uploaded a bug-fix version, so check it out!
* Admin bug fix - activation/deactivation of ads now works;
* Search fix (a bit smarter now);
* SQL dump update: utf8_general_ci collation for the pages table (instead of latin1_swedish);
* Some other small bugs fixed.
New forum live!
It brings me great pleasure to give you our community’s new forum, at
www.jobberbase.com/forum/!
Hopefully, FluxBB will prove itself better-suited than Vanilla, and community interaction will increase.
So go check it out, register a username and start using it!
Wordpress… jobberBase… OpenOffice
Today, jobberBase joins a bunch of great open source apps in a list of 19 most essential open source apps!
This is amazing and I’m very happy about it! 
P.S. Almost 20.000 downloads…
JobberRails released
We’re extremely happy to announce that Jacques Crocker — “jedi” Rails developer — has just released version 0.0.0.0.1 of jobberBase ported to Ruby on Rails: JobberRails.
It’s open-source, of course, and available for download at github.com/jcnetdev/jobberrails/.
There’s also a hosted demo of the app on jobberrails.morphexchange.com and… it looks just like jobberBase!
The app is still in its infancy and anyone is WELCOME to join the development.
This is really great news!
Over 10.000 downloads!
Since the launch of jobberBase, back in October 2007, it was downloaded over 10.000 times. Wow!
This alone is an impressive figure but, what I would really want to know is the actual conversion rate:
How many downloads ended up in real websites based on jobberBase?
I personally know of about 20-30 sites, but that’s it.
If you run a site on jobberBase, would you be so kind to let me know? Just drop a quick e-mail with the URL at hello [at] jobberbase.com and I’d be very grateful.
Thank you everyone, especially those who get involved in the community!
