Hi and thanks for your reply… In the beginning many of the features are going to be finding something that suits, and then eventually if and when it is a success custom programming something more dedicated.
Therefore things like jobs, will be a admin job to add the “Job Position” and then applicants can then view and contact throught the details displayed.
By the sounds of it the weblog is a little more advanced than a simple news / blogging feature. I may need to investigate this further. I assume therefore you can setup multiple versions of this allowing your news, directory, jobs, etc, etc.
Thanks, N
A weblog is just a container of information which hold custom fields, categories etc.
Just for you here is what you could do…
Create a custom field group called ‘Job Fields’ with the following fields -
- Job Title - job_title - (Text Input)
- Description - job_description - (Textarea)
- Duties - job_duties - (Textarea with list creation plugin)
- Salary - job_salary - (Text Input)
- Permanent, Permanent Part Time, Casual - job_contract - (Drop Down Field)
- Job Contact - job_contact - (Text Input or Relationship with a staff weblog)
Then you can assign a Category Group called ‘Job Areas’ with the following cats -
- Management
- Sales
- Administration
- Finance
- Warehouse
Once you have done all this you can assign the custom field group and custom category group to the new weblog called ‘jobs’ and go ahead and publish the new jobs and assign them job area categories.
The template can follow a similar format to the standard installation template (see how the navigation for categories is handles) or read Lisa’s excellent series.
I hope that helps you a little and good luck!
