First of all let me say, I’ve fiddled with a few job applications for Joomla but Job Board is the best out of an admittedly dodgy bunch. However, for the amount of money i paid for it (and i am someone who has no problem paying for software, in fact i like paying) – it has been a very frustrating process to get it working.
I don’t know if it’s something wrong with my particular installation but now all jobs are redirecting back to my homepage for no clear reason. It also doesn’t work with SH404, a very popular SEF URL program which I use. you should probably let people know before they make their purchase.
Some of the features seem like they could be easily implemented (such as expiry date) so I wonder why it wasn’t designed as such. The process of adding existing users to the system also seems quite confusing.
The location issue I had is also very frustrating. I want a localised jobboard but seems this is a painful process.
Anyway, i hope this is not seen as a rant, but I’ve been genuinely frustrated in not being able to have such a fine program working for me. I think it definitely is a great starting point but there are a few flaws which should be ironed out in order for it to fully justify it’s price.
At the moment i think the program flatters to deceive a bit but is neverthless a good app. Keep up the good work, there is a lot to do yet.
