Prima - A JobRoller Child Theme

Hi Appthemes Ninja's,

We've just released our first premium child theme for JobRoller entitled Prima.

In this theme we really spruced up the look & feel of JobRoller, and moved away from the default "template" feel we all (or is it just us?) love to hate. In addition, we've paid particular attention to:

• Using custom fonts throughout (thanks fontsquirrel)
• Deactivating the search bar on "call-to-action" pages (e.g. login / job submit pages)
• Developed a new "Full Width" template
• Styled the "Radius" dropdown menu for a more consistent look
• Added 4 new widget areas in the footer
• Moved the main navigation to sit on top of the search bar
• Reduced clutter by replacing salary, date and company areas with icons
• Made it look awesome!

We'd love to hear what you think of our child theme - it's about time JR stepped up to the plate, CP has been running away with awesome mods lately.

PS: Oh yes, before I forget, if you're keen to get your hands on a copy - it's available at our dedicated shop.

like it tiny...
would welcome the opportunity to discuss what you would recommend to make my sportingjobs.org site sexier!!
maybe take your prima child theme and add some more sport specific look to it?

Sounds like a plan - what's the address so I can take a peek?

Hi cdrevenant - Thanks for the kind words. The theme simply changes the look & feel of the default style that's packaged with JobRoller: In other words it's like giving a new face to the same body. And to answer your question, yes - it's very easy to install as it follows the exact same procedure as you would with other themes

Lemme know if there's anything else I can help with

is it compatable with fxtender?
thanks

Yep, it should be - although I have to say that I haven't extensively tested it. We've mostly worked on the css files, added a few lines of jquery and moved the search bar around on a few pages. As such the core functionality of the theme, which FXtender use to work its magic, is still very much in place

Oh yes, I thought I should add some images as a teaser of what it looks like:

Lemme know if there's any questions...

I don't use jobroller myself, but this is the best jobroller customization I have seen great work

Thanks spymare - If ever I get a project for classifieds, I'll come knocking on your door for advice

No RSS

Hi
Awesome theme - I will be getting this for my website. Thank you for doing such a great job on it.

However a few Q:

As JR updates will you update the theme to? If so, will we have to buy again?

Also I have noticed that the RSS is not presented to the user for featured jobs and latest jobs? In the front page.
