Right now the applications list doesn’t show the location of the original job. This makes it hard to quickly see which job the application is for, especially when the job titles are the same. How can I add the location to that page?

Thanks!

Hello brentwilliams2,

You can go to backend >> Field customize and add new field Location in Application, then add some code to display the Location in Application list of Employer.
This work could be a bit complicated, if you are not developer, you should post a new project on Joomlancer where you could hire a good developer to get it done for you.

Hi Luna Garden,
I don’t think I need a new location field, as it already exists. I just need to reference location_id in jos_ja_jobs. I need to reference that field and then translate the id into the actual location.

Is that still something that would need to be custom developed?

Hi Brent,

It must be confirmed that this is customization task. Here is my suggestion

+ Open file jafunctions.class.php and add new function
[PHP]function getJob($id){
$db = JFactory::getDBO();
$db->setQuery(‘SELECT * FROM #__ja_jobs WHERE id=’.$id);
return $db->loadObject();

}[/PHP]
+ Open file componentscom_jajobboardviewsjaapplicationstmpljaempllist.php
– Go to line 88
[PHP]$Itemid = get_Itemid(array(‘option’=>’com_jajobboard’, ‘view’=>’jajobs’, ‘layout’=>’jalist’));[/PHP]
and add code bellow it
[PHP]$jobdetail = getJob($item->job_id);
$location = getLocation($jobdetail->location_id);[/PHP]
– Final, add code to display location [PHP]
<?php if($location){ ?>
<br />
<?php echo JText::_(‘LOCATION’)?>: <i><?php echo $location; ?></i>
<?php } ?>[/PHP]
after CANDIDATE line[PHP]
<?php if($item->user_id){
$candidate = JFactory::getUser($item->user_id);
$resume = getResumeFromUserId($item->user_id);
if(isset($resume->id) && $resume->id > 0){
?>
<br />
<?php echo JText::_(‘CANDIDATE’)?>: <i><a href=”<?php echo JRoute::_(‘index.php?option=com_jajobboard&view=jaresumes&layout=jaview&cid[0]=’. $resume->id . ‘&Itemid=’ . $Itemid)?>”><?php echo $resume->title ?></a></i>
<br />
<?php echo JText::_(‘CANDIDATE_EMAIL’)?>: <i><a href=”mailto:<?php echo $candidate->email ?>”><?php echo $candidate->email ?></a></i>
<?php
}
}else{
?>
<br />
<?php echo JText::_(‘CANDIDATE’)?>: <i><a href=”javascript:void(0);”><?php echo $item->guest_name ?></a></i>
<br />
<?php echo JText::_(‘CANDIDATE_EMAIL’)?>: <i><a href=”mailto:<?php echo $item->guest_email ?>”><?php echo $item->guest_email ?></a></i>
<?php
}
?>[/PHP]

Thank you so much, Hero, and I completely understand. Is there a way to donate a small amount of money for this upgrade?

For everybody else reading, Hero’s function allowed me also to add a custom field – in my case, a city. So I added this to jaemplist.php:

$city = $jobdetail->city;

Then I added the code to actually show the city. I put this right before the location, so it would show City, State.

<?php if($city){ ?>
<?php echo $city . ', ';?>
<?php } ?>

I have made some other modifications on this page, such as having it give a message that the applicant did not upload a resume (to reduce confusion for the employer), and you can see the version so far here:

If anybody has questions about how any of this was done, I’d be happy to help.
