So the 2.5 beta has been released (here – http://www.joomlart.com/forums/downloads.php?do=cat&id=447) – has anyone had a go with it yet?

I am a huge JoomlArt fan and would really like to implement this JobBoard but, having read of the tribulations of those who have tried to use JB 1.5 was very much deterred from taking the plunge with that version.

I truly want to go with 2.5 but, before I part with $290, has anyone managed to get it working? I know this release is just a beta, but I hope this thread will endure so that those who have had success with 2.5 can sing about it and JA can get the recognition they deserve for what seems for them to have been a bit of a nightmare too!

I am installing it from the Quickstart right now. Will update this post on my experience.

My experience with 2.5 so far.

– Downloaded and extracted the quickstart files to a new directory.
– Uploaded all of the quickstart files to a fresh install on the web server.
– Pulled up my site and was presented with the install steps
– 1. selected my language – next
– 2. pre-installation – everything checks out yes/green – next
– 3. GNU License – next
– 4. Entered DB info – next
– 5. FTP Info – next (skipped this)
– 6. Main config – entered site name, e-mail, passwords AND clicked Install Sample date (sample data installed successfuly)
– 7. Hit next, goes back to main config page. Hit next, goes back to main config page. Hit next, goes back to main config page. etc.

Seems I can’t even get past the quickstart installation. >:(

I was able to get around this by just manually deleting the installation directory at this point. However, some of the same old demons are still creeping up. For example, in the location form, some of the states a listed as children of other states (see attached image).

I’m still working on the configuration, but so far it seems they just took the old, impossible to configure/set up 1.5 and simply made it compatible with 2.5 without solving any of the issues.

I have used the old Job Board on a few sites. And one minute I am really happy and the next it makes me cry. Job Board is really close to being GREAT, but it seems there are always a few things that hold it back.

yes, in the first version for J!2.5, we do not develop any new feature, it’s the upgrade from version for J!1.5. So current sites that are using old Jobboard version can easily upgrade to new version (guide).

We are developing the next version of Job board for J!2.5, so you can submit a bug or request a new feature on forums.
Thanks for your comment.

Question for dev team. Are the fixes for bugs which have been reported on the forum also being incorporated to new 2.5 versions?
