We have all of our jobs in an Excel spreadsheet. Is there anyway you can think of to utilize this to import our jobs? I didn’t know if we could somehow create an xml file using a macro from the spreadsheet to put it in the right format.

Thanks.

Hello,

To import your job form xml file, you need setup new xml feed file, and match Job fileds in JB system with specific tags in your xml file.
Detail document about Import-Export XML job data can be found in our wiki page.
Please have a look

Hi.
Sorry to reply in this old topic but I have exactly the same problem.
I’m trying to declare the xml source and the component don’t recognize it.
You can see the xml file that I prepared from your sample after viewing your wiki..

First of all I find your wiki very light on this subject, which is very important…

Can you help me to setup the import data function on my website by building the proper xml structure?
In the actual xml file, you will see all the fields existing on my spreadsheet data file.
I will manage to map fields after that but it is impossible to get it work for now because it not recognize the actual xml file…

Thanks a lot.

Hi Bestshore,

You could not upload file xml ? Please check setting [ File Extentions Allow ] in the global setting of Joomla and JA Jobboard component.
