Topic: Database is bloated- Search is not working properly [ Started by chrisdegrote in General support : 1 replies ]
Hey all,
I already knew that Jobberbase can't search jobs well when it has a lot of jobs. Unfortunately I've arrived to this point now.
I would like to give my visitors a better experience through an advanced search option. My guess is that this should be a quite easy hack, but of course I don't got a clue where to start. I know I have to make a new template file for this. But I don't know what kind of functions I should ad to extract the right information out of mine MySQL database. However I've already made a html version of the "wannabe" added search fields.
Thanks

Hey all,
Could somebody tell me an (best) editor for CSS which delivers the best experience in combination with Jobberbase? I am currently using Dreamweaver but I'm wondering if this is the best solution for my needs.
Thanks!!
Re: XML import in to Jobberbase MySql database tool [ Started by Anonymous in General discussion : 62 replies ]
Hey all,
I thought this discussion was dead but I did something wrong with the instant e-mail notification. Anyway I've received a possible solution for importing XML feeds in your database. The method is Shell scripting and I'm now trying to make it all work with my site.
Does anybody got any experience with this? When I've got it all working I will notify you
Re: How to refresh the most popular jobs? [ Started by chrisdegrote in General support : 2 replies ]
Thanx for your reply but my problem is only with inactive jobs. The problem is that the list now doesn't exclude the inactive jobs. So o empty the table is a to rigourous for me. Thanks again for your help

I believe if you search in header.tpl you will find the rss image. Just remove the link and it should work

Re: Finally! Replace Textile with TinyMCE [ Started by evertsemeijn in General support : 57 replies ]
Well I've received a clear anwser how to use nl2br http://www.phpinsider.com/smarty-forum/viewtopic.php?p=59574#59574 . Apparently you've got to remove the <br/> tags from the function escape according to the admin of the link above. It makes real sense what he is saying.
Where do you add this small line of code like the admin stated?
[code]{$description|nl2br}
[/code]
To force the content to be displayed with the breaks or something else that makes sure there's not a lot of whitespace between every written line. (like this forum)
Hope somebody can help me with this?
Thanks :)

Re: what are all the possible sorts of code you can put in function escape [ Started by chrisdegrote in General support : 3 replies ]
Thanks for your advice Uniq. I've found a cheatsheet for posssible tags.

When I'm ready with experimenting I will post the tags you've got to add for different functions of TinyMCE to make it all work.

@sharma3361
I believe the solution posted by fineluck is okay. In my case I made <br /> instead of <br/>. It works now and It doesn't create a lot of whitespace. The second option I didn't implement because it works how I intended. (if I'm wrong please point that out to me)
However if you place a table on my site it gives a lot of whitespace before showing the table. In someway it adds a lot of <br/> tags (10 or more).
I've checked the TinyMCE forum http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=16805 and there I've found two solutions. The first one doesn't work fix_table_elements: 1 (I don't see any changes) The second one nl2br() seems the cause of the issue. I've looked the information up and it shows that when putting de data in the database it shouldn't be used because it will add <br /> tags. As I've read it should be used for pulling out the data of the database.
Can somebody tell me how to correct/change this?
;) Thanks

Topic: what are all the possible sorts of code you can put in function escape [ Started by chrisdegrote in General support : 3 replies ]
Hey all,
I've got a question about the function escape in the includes folder. Because of Tiny MCE I have to put certain variables in
[code]
$GLOBALS[$variable] = $db->real_escape_string(strip_tags($value,'<a><strong><em><ul><p><li><ol><span><img><object><embed><param>'));
[/code]
What are more variables you could/should add, if someone could point me out to a list or something of that kind? That would be very helpfull!
The reason I want this is to make TinyMCE integrate better and make it more What You See Is What You Get.
Thanks I would really appreciate it

Re: XML import in to Jobberbase MySql database tool [ Started by Anonymous in General discussion : 62 replies ]
Hey all,
Here's a small and a dissapointing update on how to integrate a rss/xml feed on my site.
Simplepie looks like it would be the program to make it all happening. If you go to their site http://simplepie.org/ you can download their program and put the (whole) file in your root folder. Firstly check out several test pages especially designed to see if everything (serverside etc.) is working properly.
The files you should look for in the dowloaded SimplePie files are test/test.php & compatibility_test/sp_compatibility_test.php .
When that's all okay you should look for demo/multifeeds.php. This is a file that makes it more insightfull to see how the multifeeds work.
If it doesn't work you should look here for the fix. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/simplepie-support/message/4240
I've asked on their support forum/group http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/simplepie-support/message/4323 if it was possible to import the feeds in our Jobs table (MySQL) to make them seamles …
Re: job map [ Started by matteoraggi in Feature requests : 7 replies ]
Hey all,
I also want to like to see this feature added on my site. I see http://ecommjobs.co.uk/ has a nice implemented map.
I've checked out the links you've all posted but there all old/outdated. Is there anybody who succesfully implemented it on their site (like ecommjobs or http://www.housingmaps.com/ ) and make it communicate with the Jobs table? If so what are the steps you have to take to make it work dynamically with the Jobberbase database?
Thanks for the effort,
Chris
Re: XML import in to Jobberbase MySql database tool [ Started by Anonymous in General discussion : 62 replies ]
Hey Uniq and others,
Well I've looked at Pligg and downloaded and checked the rss_import module. It truly looks solid (shown in the link of Uniq) but now I've got not an idea where to start to implement this properly in a Jobberbase database.
I really would like to see the steps you have to take to make it communicate with the Job table of our JB databases. And what kind of query you have to execute (if any) in phpadmin/mysql?
To what kind of folder do you've got to upload the module (root/rss_import) and what are the other files of the Pligg base files are also nescessary?
And also what do you've got to edit in the files of the folder rss_import?
I think a lot of users of Jobberbase would be very excited to see this working and make the sites more useful for their visitors.
Sorry for being such a pain in the butt :(
Chris

@redjumsuit
Thanks for clearing that up I thought I've missed something.
@uniq sorry for being blunt but...
I know of course of Magpie (I can google) but the documentation is very poor and I believe it's also left alone by the developer because important links don't work like the forum/blog. And sorry but the video you've posted is sweet and makes my mouth water but what kind of added value is this for jobberbase? Sorry for my assumption but I simply don't see the link between the two CMS systems.

Re: Search does not work with more that a couple 1000 jobs posted [ Started by ninjarage in Bug reports : 19 replies ]
Thanks for that I also found a topic that also talks about this but I can't see a demo of this solution.
http://www.jobberbase.com/forum/topic1198-adding-another-search-function.html
If I can help you with finishing this (like I've send you in the PM) I would be happy to aid you!
Thanks
Re: Search does not work with more that a couple 1000 jobs posted [ Started by ninjarage in Bug reports : 19 replies ]
@Chronos
I would agree that it would be better to have an advanced search option LINK integrated under the current search function.
With a option to select a city
With a option to search only in the short job title
With a option to search jobs by date 3 days 1 week 2 weeks 1 month
With a option to preselect freelance or fulltime function.
That would be truly terrific for the job searchers

I've tried it out on my test site and it works exactly as it should the only last clinch in it is that the translations file is not 100% controlling the output. But still great WORK!! Thanks :)

Topic: Making it possible to fast browse thru the posted jobs? [ Started by chrisdegrote in Feature requests : 0 replies ]
Hey all,
I was curious if it's possible to make two buttons when showing a job. Where you can click on to get the next job in you're search request. This I believe makes the user experience just a small bit better.
So in short a button named previous and a button named next (these both buttons above the job page)
Thanks
