Download jobberBase   •  Forum   •  Wiki   •  Jobs

Welcome to the joberBase development blog!

Day 1

It’s been almost 9 hours since I published the jobberBase site, and there are already over 30 downloads (and counting). Google Analytics is also in place.

To dos

There are still some stuff to do before I’m absolutely happy with jobberBase, but the #1 priority is writing some short documentation. jobberBase is very flexible, but it may have a bit of a steep learning curve, as it’s built on a home-baked “framework”. The internal processes also need some explanations.

I know what doesn’t work or what portions of the code are a mess, therefore please be kind in giving feedback :). There’s place for A LOT of improvements, so if you fancy to contribute (how British is that!?), please do so.

Anyway… I’m also considering a more detailed tracking of the downloaders, mainly because I’d like to keep in touch with them and maybe open some opportunities for them. We’ll see…

Well, have an excellent and productive week!

    It’s possible you’re missing the .htaccess file that should exist in jobberBase root dir. If you do, check out this article :).

    If this is not your problem, @jmardesign, let me know and we’ll try to solve it!

    Great job. Looks like a very nice software.

    It would be nice that there was a language file for it.

    Umut, indeed!
    It wouldn’t be too hard to make it multi-lingual… it’s just a very detail-oriented task of extracting all text from the templates (and some in JavaScript), moving it into language files and replacing it with variables.

    I’d absolutely love if someone were interested in doing this!

    Very interesting project. I’ve been hunting around for a good job board, but most of the open source projects in this area are long dead.

    I don’t suppose we could get a community forum? Alot easier for us to communicate than via blog IMHO.

    By the way, I just FTPed up jobberbase and imported the sql script but it looks like my site is redirecting to www.jobber.ro. Any ideas? I’m sure I’ll figure it out after poking around a little, I’m just a little sleepy at the moment :)

    Zheron, a community forum is on its way, Vanilla-based! :)
    Stay tuned!
