Add Resume and Add Cover Errors

Saturday, September 20th, 2008

Problem: When attempting to upload a resume or cover letter, users get the following error: You cannot simultaneously use both the text area and file upload box. Please choose one.

Solution: This is a temporary solution — Comment out these lines 72 through 76 in engine/pages/add_resume.php

if ($file_info && $input[’resume_textarea’]){
$this->generate_error(’cannot_use_both_textarea_and_file’);
unlink($file_info[’tmp_name’]);
return false;
}

Comment out these lines in engine/pages/edit_cover.php - lines around 112-118

if ($file_info[’name’] && $input[’cover_textarea’])
{
$this->generate_error(’cannot_use_both_textarea_and_file’);
unlink($file_info[’tmp_name’]);
return false;
}

“How did you hear about us,” cont. Add “Other” text field

Sunday, September 7th, 2008

Following up on a previous post - http://lifehackmom.com/how-to-add-a-how-did-you-hear-about-us-survey-to-webjobs/

Here is how to add a write-in “Other” text field, in case a registrant was referred by a source that isn’t in the drop-down list you created.

Step 1: Add other_referrals field to database

In jb_users table, add a new text field called other_referrals to store the data that users write in on their registration form.

Step 2: Register Employer page:

In engine/pages/register_employer.php — Add this line under the line where you added the referrals - around line 151

‘other_referrals’ => $sql->escape_string($input[’other_referrals’]),

Add other_referrals into your array a few lines down, so that it looks like this:

array(’login’, ‘password’, ’status’, ’salutation’, ‘first_name’,'middle_initial’, ‘last_name’,
’suffix’, ’suffix_titles’, ‘company_name’, ‘completed’, ’signup_time’, ‘referrals’, ‘other_referrals’, ‘timezone’, ‘language’));

Step 3:

Add the other field to the xml file (smartway/conf/register_employer or register_employer_city or whatever depending on how you’ve configured webjobs).

<input name=”other_referrals” required=”0″>other_referrals</input>

You are done! So easy!

Next post will be on how to track and view the results in the Smartway statistics section.
