When setting up a job alert, after clicking save the page is redirected to:

http://www.mysite.com/component/jajobboard/jajobalerts?Itemid=0

Instead of redirecting back to the main alerts page:

http://www.mysite.com/job-alert

Hi Brentwilliams2,

Yes, because the Itemid value is zero, so it can not be redirected to job-alert menu page.

Ok, then how do I change the Itemid? As it is, the user isn’t sent to a place with a menu item, so no modules are shown. This essentially means they have no idea where to go at this point.

Brentwilliams,

To be frank, I don’t know why your site is linked to this url http://www.mysite.com/component/jajobboard/jajobalerts?Itemid=0 instead of http://www.mysite.com/job-alert

If you have done some customizations in Job alerts feature, please roll it back.

This feature on our demo site is still working fine now.

Regards

Yeah, that may be the issue… Oh well.

WAIT! I just figured it out (kind of). The problem is if you change the frequency to “Daily” rather than “None”. Take a look at your demo site. If you don’t change the frequency and leave it as “NONE”, then it redirects properly to this link:

http://demo25.jobboard.joomlart.com/job-alert.html

BUT, if you change the frequency to “Daily”, for example, it will redirect to this link:

http://demo25.jobboard.joomlart.com/component/jajobboard/jajobalerts.html

That is where the redirect is breaking, although I have no idea what the fix is…

Whew, I thought I was going crazy 🙂

Hi Brent,

For redirect to link http://demo25.jobboard.joomlart.com/component/jajobboard/jajobalerts.html , please edit file componentscom_jajobboardcontrollersjajobsalert.php .

– Go to function save ( line 60 )
– Add this line of code
[PHP]$Itemid = JRequest::getInt(“Itemid”);[/PHP]
under line
[PHP]JRequest::checkToken() or jexit(‘Invalid Token’);[/PHP]

– Change this line
[PHP]$this->setRedirect(JRoute::_(“index.php?option=”.JBCOMNAME.”&view=jajobalerts&Itemid=” . JRequest::getInt(“Itemid”), false), $msg);[/PHP]
to
[PHP]$this->setRedirect(JRoute::_(“index.php?option=”.JBCOMNAME.”&view=jajobalerts&Itemid=” . $Itemid, false), $msg);[/PHP]

Hope this helps.

Regards
