Thread: Just Launched Our JobRoller Site, How's It Look?

Just Launched Our JobRoller Site, How's It Look?

We just launched our job site for film crew personnel looking for jobs.

We used the Eva child theme from Tiny Giant Studios and of course the Fxtender Pro plugin which adds some great functionality. The Job Super Search plugin to add some nice advanced search widgets. The Type Right plugin which completes users text as they type in the location field. And the SimplPress plugin for the forum.

Any thoughts much appreciated.

Looks cool, I like it..

Very nice mate ! I would be very interested in knowing how did you add the post a resume button as well as the login panel just below!

Thanks for the compliments. And of course, I'd love to share how I:

To add Post a Resume button (and not have it also appear when Job Lister logs in)

I'm using the Eva child theme so in the child theme Includes folder I added sidebar-sjob.php file

I added this just above </div>:

<?php if (!is_user_logged_in() || (is_user_logged_in() && current_user_can('can_submit_resume'))) : ?>

<a href="<?php echo get_permalink(get_option('jr_submit_page_id')); ?>" class="button"><span><?php _e('Post a Resume','appthemes'); ?></span></a>

<?php endif; ?>

BUT The Post a Resume button was then taking people to the register page that is specific to Post a Job(has post job arrows and no radio buttons to select if you're a Seeker or Poster as it assumes you are a Poster). So to get that button to go to the general Register page.

in sidebar-sjob.php (in my child theme)

I changed this:

<a href="<?php echo get_permalink(get_option('jr_submit_page_id')); ?>" class="button"><span><?php _e('Post a Resume','appthemes'); ?></span></a>

To this:
*********** <a href="http://mysitename.com/login/" class="button"><span><?php _e('Post a Resume','appthemes'); ?></span></a>


Hope that helps.

To ddd the login panel on my homepage:

1) Add these 2 plugins:
Executable PHP widget (let's you put PHP into a widget)
Widget Logic (let's you display certain widgets on certain pages, in this case shows it only to non-logged in users)

2) In your widgets area you'll now have a "PHP Code" widget. Add that to the Main Sidebar.

3) Put this code into that widget:

<?php do_action( 'jr_display_login_form', $action, $redirect ); ?>
<a style=" clear: both; float: left; margin:5px 0px 0px 22px;" href="http://sitename.com/login/" > Register Now </a>

4) In the Widget Logic area of this widget add this:
!is_user_logged_in()


Hope that helps.

thanks mate! I really appreciate that you share your knowledge to the community!

I think it looks great! Like all of your tweaks. Good work.

Looks great . I like the industry focus (Great Business Idea).
On the technical aspect i like "how a brief pops up when you hover over the job posting" . Gave a great idea for the website i'm making.
Would you mind sharing how you did that ?

Hi Sundaram, the rollover pop-up is part of a really powerful plugin that's built just for this theme called FxTender, it offers a lot of additional features for JobRoller. This feature has 6 or 7 different style of hover over balloons, definitely a useful feature.

Sundaram, love the website. Can you share how you added the slider at the top of the page? Plugin or did it come with the child theme? Thanks. Great work!
