Tutorial - E-mail Support (E-mailing Job Listings to Subscribers)

So after quite a struggle I figure out how to make JobRoller E-mail New Job Postings to a list of subscribers automatically.

1. First off Install the Subscribe2 Plugin on your Wordpress: WordPress › Subscribe2 « WordPress Plugins
   (I like subscribe2 it allows you to send individual e-mails for each job or Daily Digests)
   
2. Next You will want to Configure Subscribe2 Per the authors instructions. Two ways to have a "Enter your e-mail to subscribe box" on your JobRoller website. The First is to use a short code and plug it into a page, such as the About page. The second is to use a widget it the sidebar. Personally I prefer the widget.
   
3. Once Subscribe to is fully configured it will by default sent e-mails for regular "Posts" but not "Jobs." In order for Subscribe2 to e-mail Jobs as well copy and paste the exact following code into your 'Theme Functions' (Functions.php) file. Be sure to paste the code beneath these lines:
   
   /**
   * add any of your custom functions below this section
   */
   
   Here is the Code:
   
   Code:

   function my_post_types($types) {
   	$types[] = 'job_listing';
   	return $types;
   }
   
   add_filter('s2_post_types', 'my_post_types');

4. Update File
   
5. Thats It! You're done. However, please note that you will not see a Subscribe2 Dialog in the "New Job" Section like you would in the "New Post" section. However, e-mails will be sent to your subscribers when you post new jobs.

I hope this helps someone!
