Posting a job ad

Assuming you’ve installed jobberBase and you’re ready to start hacking and adjusting it to your needs, you’ll soon find out the posting a job ad might not work as you first expect it to work.

So let me draw it for you:

And this is what it means:

  1. You post a job ad.
  2. The system checks if there are any other ads you’ve previously posted with the same e-mail address.
  3. If there aren’t any, your ad goes into “pending” mode and the administrator receives an e-mail with this new ad. He has to manually activate it, in order for the ad to be published.
  4. If, however, your address is found in the database, this new ad will be published instantly.

I chose this solution because it was very fast to implement and it still is very efficient. Most database administration operations are done directly in phpmyadmin, but others (activate/edit/deactivate) from the e-mails jobberBase sends to the admin.

However, the system is pretty flexible once you get the hang of it.

Have fun!

    Very interested in evaluating your project for our Community College in Canada. Right now I’m getting the following error:


    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in config.php on line 73

    Hi Jason,
    Do you have PHP 5 installed on your server? It’s mandatory for jobberBase, as it makes use of some if its exception handling (try/catch) and object-oriented features.

    Ahhh, forgot to check that. You’re right; I’ll try it on another server.

    Anand,

    Those aren’t directories, but pretty URLs created with mod_rewrite.
    Do you have Apache module mod_rewrite active? What about the .htaccess file in the site’s dir?

    Does Jobber Base support charging for Job Postings with Paypal?

    So if a company wants to post a job they must pay a fee and can do so with PayPal.

  10. Filip on January 21st, 2008

    Daelan,
    The system doesn’t include a payment module and a company-account panel.
    These things *can* be implemented, but I won’t (don’t have the time, actually).

    _includes/config.inc.php not found, is there a new configuration with new version 1.40 ?

  15. Filip on May 13th, 2008

    Sorry, it’s just config.php in the root dir.
