We are proud to announce that Jobs ! 1.4 BETA 1 is published for the licensed users.

This version is contains fix for the reported bugs and It also contains some new intresting features

Changes & New Features

Credit System is re-worked

Jobs! Credit System is re-worked (in fact, A new point of view) . Jobs! is system support credit packs like

10 Job Postings for 30 days is 100$
20 Job Postings for 30 days is 180$
10 days resume database access is 20$
20 days resume database access is 35$
etc

You will be able to define this credit packages from your admin panel . See the screenshots to have an idea about new point of view

Editor Requiments is removed

Jobs! was having a nasty feature. It was using the default WYSIWYG editor TinyMCE. It was not working with the other WYSIWYG like JCE . This nasty criteria is removed. Jobs! 1.4 Beta 1+ versions will support all WYSIWYG editors (or No Editor option)

Job Templates

If you are posting too many jobs in a limited time with similar text (Similar Job Title, Description, Locations etc). That means you are making copy-paste for creating the same job. Job Templates can help you. Create a job template . Jobs! will allow you to fill the job posting form while you are posting job. See the screenshot on left side

Localication Issues

Jobs! was having some un-translated parts like admin panel toolbar buttons and images title and alt tags (like <img src="/path/to/files" alt="THIS STRING WAS ENGLISH" />)

Custom Field Manager becomes more powerful

As you know, Jobs! has its own 'Custom Field Manager'. We have added 2 new parameters to our 'Custom Field manager'

Initial Value Assignment (or Pre-filled Value): You will be able define pre-filled value for all fields

Field Search Group: This is the parameter which makes us fear. Because, If you have configurated this parameter , It will make your Jobs! very powerful but if you configure this wrong, It will take down field search (It will bring you unrelated results)


I'm going to exlain this parameter with an example . Every resume has a classic fields like
* Language 1 that job seeker can talk
* Language 2 that job seeker can talk
* Language 3 that job seeker can talk
* Language 4 that job seeker can talk
etc

The question is that what happens when you make 'Language 1' searchable. A classic custom field manager will only search 'Language 1'. It will not search the other language fields (Language 2,Language 3,Language 4) but the correct action must be searching all language fields

That's what 'Field Search Group' parameter does. It will expect you to group the fields while you are creating or editing.

Why we have published this version

As we have mentioned before , We are planning to publish the stable version of Jobs! 1.4 on 3th week of this month. We expect our users to help us to hunt more bugs before we do stable version. There is a Jobs! 1.4 Beta 1 bug resporting thread on our support forum
