Welcome to the joberBase development blog!

Small update available

I want to thank everybody that reported bugs, suggested features and provided fixes on the community forum!

There are still a lot of stuff to be improved, but I decided to release version 1.1, a bug-fix/clean-up version, mostly.

Here’s the changelog:

  • Modified the directory structure and moved the entire application into /app subdirectory.
  • Added an alternate .htaccess that seems to work better on some big hosting companies.
  • Cleaned up config.php of unnecessarry defines.
  • Fixed a number of bugs reported on www.jobberbase.com/community/ (thanks to everyone!)

Hope you enjoy jobberBase and hope you put it to good use!

Database maintenance

In the root directory of jobberBase, there’s a cron_maintenance.php script that you should run with cron (or Task Scheduler, on Windows). On jobber.ro, I have that script running every night.

Default maintenance

For now, what the maintenance script does is delete temporary and inactive job ads.

What else can you do

The standard job-board behavior is to allow an ad to be active for a number of days (30, for most of them). If you wish to implement this in your jobberBase-based site, you could use the cron_maintenance.php to deactivate older ads and/or notify publishers with 2-3 days before this deactivation…

I’m guessing that an OPTIMIZE TABLE jobs; would also be useful, from time to time :).
