Relisting Jobs
Hello, hopefully I can get a response from this thread. We have been modifying this theme to suit our needs, next up on our long list of modifications is to change the behavior of when jobs are re-listed. What happens currently is that the post status is just changed from one state to another. This is not what we need to happen. What we need is for the job to be recreated with a new post id.
The reasoning behind this? When Indeed or simply hired calls our custom built API feeds, they compare our job ids(post_id) if it is the same as what was there before nothing gets updated. However if a new job id and date is created, they will update our list of jobs and that job will move to the top of the search again. Currently jobs are not relisted, just re-activated.
This will not get the job re-listed with a newer date on the aggregates networks. We must change this behavior. Hopefully someone from appthemes will step up and guide us in the right direction. otherwise we will be forced to pay a programmer (again) to modify the themes core to accomplish this task.
Anyone?
