Hi There,

I have been battling to set up the JA Jobboard component and have run in to quite a few issues which I would appreciate some help on.

The first and most important issue is that I would like an email to be sent to the “Employer” listing all the fields present on the Application form:
-Applicant’s Name
-Applicant’s Email Address
-Applicants Address
-Job Title applying for
-Cover Letter
-CV/Resume (as an attachment to the email)

I have tried to edit the email in the backend but cannot get these fields to show up at all.

I am also having issues with the system fields. I would like the salary to be a text field but this doesn’t seem to want to accept my changes.

Please could someone assist. I have raised tickets but get one line answers and the support is really not very good for a component of this complexity and price.

Thanks

Hi Skwtayler,

You could edit email “Send mail to employer when having new application” in Email template

Hi Her0,

In my post, I explained that I had tried to edit the template.

When I added in the fields it still would not add the attachment. I did read all the documentation and there really is nothing there that explains this.

There is a link in the mail that leads you to a blank screen.

So at the moment… there is no system that works. Please could you log in, take a look and let me know…

Dear,

Unfortunately, I tried to access your site for closer check but your site is very slow, and is not live now. Please check your hosting server again.

Regards

Thanks for fixing this. Could you tell me what the issue was as I need to fix it on another site.
Also, how do I add in the fields mentioned at the start of this post?

Thanks

Please open file components/com_jajobboard/models/jaapplications.php and go to function store, find code line
[PHP]$this->applicationMailToEmployer($row->id, $row->job_id, $row->user_id, ‘ApplicationMailToEmployer’, $row->attachment, $row);[/PHP]
and edit to
[PHP]$this->applicationMailToEmployer($row->id, $row->job_id, $row->user_id, ‘ApplicationMailToEmployer’, JPATH_SITE . $row->attachment, $row);[/PHP]

Need to do more customizations for implementing this.

Sorry, this is impossible because it is quite complex and take a lot of times .
<blockquote>Are you able to tell me what these customizations are?</blockquote>
Please try with simple solution above, but you should hire a good developer from freelancer for done this task.
– You could see in the email template default, the Application email does not support the fields which you mentioned above http://prntscr.com/122cac . So, first you must define them as Email Variables in file administrators/components/com_jajobboard/assets/jaemail_config.php, example:

JA_APPLICATIONS.NAME - Application name
– Then open file components/com_jajobboard/models/jaapplications.php, go to function applicationMailToEmployer and assign value for that variable ( application name ) as below
Find line code

sendMail($user->email, $user->name, $mail->subject, $mail->content, '', $mail->EmailFromAddress, $mail->EmailFromName, $attachment);
and add new code above this line

$mail->content = str_replace('{JA_APPLICATIONS.NAME}', $application_name, $mail->content);
The variable $application_name : you must get value from application object.
