I've been testing Jobberbase for a few weeks to see if it work for a project I am working on. (Awesome work btw). originally the site was going to be a "General" job board but for a small area covering 2-3 cities so just changing the categories to 8-9 very broad sections would suffice since the board will not be heavily flooded with posts. Now things have changed a little bit and I am needed a Job Board that will let me Limit posting to a select group of people. I was just curious if anyone had tried expanding Jobberbase with some form of user authentication or had any tips on doing this in smarty ( complete smarty noob here). Im not looking for anything too complex I've got a predefined user list so I dont need to allow registration. All i need to do is require a login before posting a job.
If you want something really simple, what about creating your user database, and then in the form to post a job, add two field with the username and the password ? If the username/password are correct, the job is post ... But it's just an idea !!!
Thats exactly what I'm shooting for.. Smarty is just messing with me. I've got a log in script popping up before you get a chance to post, but on submit it was coming back with jobbers page unavailable ( I was having problems with form action with smarty ) now I've got that working so I'm playing with it. I was just not sure if anyone had done this and knew of any problems I'm likely to run into.
It looks like the Edit capability is handled by this same page so I'm trying to steer clear of forcing users to log in if they follow the email they had been sent for a existing job.
