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:
- You post a job ad.
- The system checks if there are any other ads you’ve previously posted with the same e-mail address.
- 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.
- 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.
where to find my admin e-mail?
_includes/config.inc.php,
constants NOTIFY_EMAIL and ADMIN_EMAIL
thanks,hope 2.0 will be release soon
Hi,
I am trying to set up the job website using jobberbase. It looks promising. But in the latest version when I click on post a job it refers to directory post which is not there..
Do I need to download any other installation verision.
Please let me know.,
Thanks,
Anand
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.
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).
does anyone knows if there is any other information about this subject in other languages?

_includes/config.inc.php not found, is there a new configuration with new version 1.40 ?
Sorry, it’s just config.php in the root dir.
Hey, i cant post jobs. Everything seems to be ok: After step 3 a message appears, the job was posted. But when i go back to the mainpage i cant see any job. The strange thing is, that the post was written in the database but is not shown on the page. Whats wrong?
