What is Microdata and why you need it?

Microdata will enhance your Joomla site content with search engine optimized and it helps Joomla CMS to explain itself to the search engine using semantic information. You might be familiar with other name of microdata called Rich Snippets.

With microdata, your content will be 'restructured' with content’s type, author, rating, and other SEO friendly data. This will ensure a richer web browsing experience to users.

It's now ready in JA JobBoard

With the integration of Schema.org markups for job offers, JA Jobboard allows search engines and apps to easily parse the content. Here are the markups for JobPosting: http://www.schema.org/JobPosting.

We changed the structure of 2 files: com_jajobboard\site\helper\jafunctions.class.php and com_jajobboard\site\views\jajobs\tmpl\jaview.php. Detailed changes are:

jafunctions.class.php

In this file, we add the following code to the bottom.

}
function jaSchemaProp($field, $type = 'JobPosting') {
	$prop = '';
	$field_type = is_object($field) ? @$field->field_type : '';
	$field_name = is_object($field) ? @$field->field_name : (string) $field;
	if($field_type == 'IMAGE') {
		$prop = 'image';
	} else {
		$aMap = array(
			'job_type' => 'employmentType',
			'job_code' => 'alternateName',
			'salary_max' => '',
			'effected_date' => 'datePosted',
			'salary_min' => 'baseSalary',
			'job_detail' => 'description',
			'created_date' => 'datePosted',
			'status' => '',
			'title' => 'title',
			'cat_id' => 'occupationalCategory',

		);
		$prop = isset($aMap[$field_name]) ? $aMap[$field_name] : '';
	}
	if(!empty($prop)) {
		$prop = ' itemprop="'.$prop.'"';
	}
	return $prop;
}
