Hi there,
I am afraid that this is a default feature of JA Job Board and there is no ready-made option to disable applying function yet.
If you want to disable by all means, please follow below steps to remove the code for displaying this form:
1. Open file “componentscom_jajobboardviewsjajobstmpljaview.php”
2. Find the following code and remove
<?php if(getCurrentUserType() != JBEMPLOYER_USER && ((isset($this->app_list[$item->id]) && $jbconfig[‘posts’]->get(‘allow_apply_several_time’,0))||(!isset($this->app_list[$item->id])))) {?>
<!– Form: Apply Job–>
<a name=”apply-job-<?php echo $this->item->id?>”></a>
<div id=”app_err_<?php echo $this->item->id; ?>”></div>
<div id=”applyjob_<?php echo $item->id; ?>” <?php if (!JRequest::getVar(‘app_postback’)) {?>style=”display:none”<?php } ?>>
<fieldset>
<h2><?php echo JText::_(‘Your Application’); ?> <span style=”color: red; font-size: 70%; font-weight: normal;”>( <?php echo JText::_(‘Please send the most recent resume’)?> )</span></h2>
<?php include(dirname(__FILE__).DS.’applytojob.php’);?>
</fieldset>
</div>
<?php }?>
Hope this helps.
