Hello,
The overall aim is for my site to become a profitable venture (albeit on a small scale), and so will charge for job listings.
(For those of you who haven't seen it yet - www.working-gamer.co.uk)
However, starting up is the most difficult part, as I need to get job listings on the site, before I can actually attract employers to it. A bit of a Catch 22, really!
In order to speed up the process, I would like to create a system whereby specific job-posters can add their jobs for free, using some sort of discount code system. This will be a code that I give them, as a method of populating the board.
The adding of the discount code field and database won't be an issue (thanks to redjumpsuit's brilliant salary tutorial, which I have bookmarked!) - the issue will be to get the system to recognize that the 'code' means that the poster skips the PayPal payment element of the posting process, and the job listing is then submitted for approval as normal.
Does anyone have any idea how I could implement such a system?
The way I see it, is that each job listing will have a 'code' entry, and there will be a separate table with codes in (if this works out, I will add other codes for things like discounted job listing fees, and so on). If the job listing's code field has an entry, it will be compared with the codes from the 'Code' table, and if any of them match, the (function?) of that code will then be activated (through an {if} statement, I presume)
Any ideas or walkthroughs would be appreciated!
