When I setup the jobboard job posting settings it is not working correctly.

I have created a few packages because I want to work with packages because I have a lot of customers that are not in need a job for 30 days but also 60 days. So for example I setup these packages:
– 1 standard job – 30 days
– 1 standard job – 60 days
– 1 premium job – 60 days
– 1 premium job – 90 days

When I create an account, login and go to my account settings I can see that I have no job post possible. When I click on posting a job, it is still possible to add a job. I really do not understand why this is happening. What I was expecting was that the system would tell me you have no jobs available, buy a package. Even in the add job form I see at the bottom that their are no available packages but still I can save the job and add it.

What I tried is to setup a standard subscription with disabled posting standard and premium job but when I go to my account at the front I can buy a package but not posting a job because it is disabled in subscription.

Is this a bug or do I mis something?

My setup is now:
– No subscription only a standard subscription with all the featured in it.
– Enable buy subscriptions – NO
– Use general configure for posting expire – NO

To adapt JA Jobboard to your need, please try to configure as follows:

<blockquote>- No subscription only a standard subscription with all the featured in it.</blockquote>
Create one default subscription for Employer and one for Job Seeker with full permissions, and set them as Free and default subscription.

<blockquote>- Enable buy subscriptions – NO</blockquote>
In the configuration form of Jobboard back-end >> tab Billing system >> Select “No” option under “Enable Buy Subscriptions?” setting

To control job posting by package, you need to create Post job package (as you did), and enable the setting “Standard posting – payment or not?” and “Premium posting – payment or not?” (these settings can be found in Jobboard confirguartion form >> Tab Billing system.

Hi,

Thank for your reply but what you are telling me is exactly what I have done.

1. I have two subscription (jobseeker and employer), i have all features selected, all languages and for lifetime
2. I have several packages made with different periods of time in different languages. For instance 1 package with a standard job for 60 days and a package for a standard job for 90 days.
3. On the billing tab I have selected NO with enable to buy subscriptions, I have set YES to Standard posting – payment or not? and YES to Premium posting – payment or not? because employers have to pay for a job.

But still when a new employer registers it can add jobs for free. I have the feeling that the subscription rules the packages and because in the default subscription free premium and standard jobs can be added the packages are not functioning. When I select YES with Enable Buy Subscriptions? the package system is working well but only with a standard period for the jobs and that is not what I want. I have the feeling that this is a huge bug.

Hi,

I found something out, maybe you know the answer when you read this:

1. When a employer register, the default subscription is added
2. When a employer logs in he/she can add free jobs even when they have no jobs available
3. In the backend, I see with his account: Standard posting left: 0:30 / Premium posting left: 0:30
4. When I manually fill in at the backend 0 instead of 0:30 and click save – it is not possible to add jobs (even when I fill in 0 it changes back to 0:30). In the database I see 0 instead of 0:30 like the rest, see picture ( id 109 and 2420 are my t.
5. Because the system changes my 0 to 0:30 again and I click save again, all is changed again to 0:30 what means someone can add jobs again.

I hope this helps with finding the sollution.

In the configuration form of Jobboard >> tab Job Posting, you might have the setting “Use General Configure For Posting Expire:” disabled.

Please enable this setting, it will help JA Job board work as you wish.

Hi,

Yes that is disabled but that has to be disbled otherwise every job will have the same amount of days that it will be published and that is not what has to happen. I need different packages with different periods of time for a job posting.

I just tested and found an issue in checking job posting left function. To get this fixed, you can follow steps below:

– Open the file
components/com_jajobboard/helper/jafunctions.class.php

– And add following code at the end of file, but before closing php tag ?>
[PHP]function checkJobPostingLeft($account, $premium = 0) {
global $jbconfig;
$premium = $premium ? 1 : 0;

if(!is_object($account)) return false;

//allow All Employers To Post Premium jobs For Free
if(!$premium && !$jbconfig[‘billing’]->get(‘posting_fee_enabled’, 0)) return true;
//allow All Employers To Post Premium jobs For Free
if($premium && !$jbconfig[‘billing’]->get(‘premium_posting_fee_enabled’, 0)) return true;

//get posted job
$db = JFactory::getDbo();
$query = “SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #__ja_jobs WHERE user_id = “.$db->quote($account->user_id).” AND is_hotjob = “.$db->quote($premium);
$db->setQuery($query);
$posted = $db->loadResult();

if ($jbconfig[‘posts’]->get(‘posts_expiry_date_by’, 1)) {
$num = $premium ? intval($account->premium_posts_balance) : intval($account->standard_posts_balance);
return ($num && $posted < $num);
} else {
$ext = $premium ? @$account->premium_posts_balance_ext : @$account->standard_posts_balance_ext;
//E.g: 15:30,10:100
$exts = explode(‘,’, $ext);
$num = 0;
if(count($exts)) {
foreach($exts as $ext) {
list($i, $d) = explode(‘:’, $ext);
$num += intval($i);
}
}
return ($num && $posted < $num);
}
}[/PHP]

– Open the file:
components/com_jajobboard/views/jajobs/view.html.php

– Find the code snippet:
[PHP]if ($layout!=’duplicate’) {
if (!$premium && !$item->id && $jbconfig[‘billing’]->get(‘posting_fee_enabled’, 0)) {
$account = getAccountByUserID($user->id);

if ($jbconfig[‘posts’]->get(‘posts_expiry_date_by’, 1)) {
if (!$account ||(int)$account->standard_posts_balance == 0) {
$this->assign(‘goto_buynow’, true);
return ;
}
} else {
if (empty($account->standard_posts_balance_ext)) {
$this->assign(‘goto_buynow’, true);
return ;
}
}
}

if ($premium && !$item->id && $jbconfig[‘billing’]->get(‘premium_posting_fee_enabled’, 0)) {
$account = getAccountByUserID($user->id);

if ($jbconfig[‘posts’]->get(‘posts_expiry_date_by’, 1)) {
if (!$account ||(int)$account->premium_posts_balance == 0) {
$this->assign(‘goto_buynow’, true);
return ;
}
} else {
if (empty($account->premium_posts_balance_ext)) {
$this->assign(‘goto_buynow’, true);
return ;
}
}
}
} else {
$item->temp_title = JRequest::getVar(‘temp_title’) ? JRequest::getVar(‘temp_title’) : $item->title;
$account = getAccountByUserID($user->id);

if ($jbconfig[‘posts’]->get(‘posts_expiry_date_by’, 1)) {
if (!$account ||(int)$account->standard_posts_balance == 0) {
$can_post_standard_job = ‘disabled’;
} else {
$can_post_standard_job = ”;
}
} else {
if (empty($account->standard_posts_balance_ext)) {
$can_post_standard_job = ‘disabled’;
} else {
$can_post_standard_job = ”;
}
}

if ($jbconfig[‘posts’]->get(‘posts_expiry_date_by’, 1)) {
if (!$account ||(int)$account->premium_posts_balance == 0) {
$can_post_premium_job = ‘disabled’;
} else {
$can_post_premium_job = ”;
}
} else {
if (empty($account->premium_posts_balance_ext)) {
$can_post_standard_job = ‘disabled’;
} else {
$can_post_standard_job = ”;
}
}

if (($can_post_standard_job!=”)&&($can_post_premium_job!=”)) {
$this->assign(‘goto_buynow’, true);
return ;
}

$this->assignRef(‘can_post_standard_job’, $can_post_standard_job);
$this->assignRef(‘can_post_premium_job’, $can_post_premium_job);
}[/PHP]

– And replace it with:
[PHP]if ($layout!=’duplicate’) {
$account = getAccountByUserID($user->id);
if(!$item->id) {
if(!checkJobPostingLeft($account, $premium ? 1 : 0)) {
$this->assign(‘goto_buynow’, true);
return ;
}
}
} else {
$item->temp_title = JRequest::getVar(‘temp_title’) ? JRequest::getVar(‘temp_title’) : $item->title;
$account = getAccountByUserID($user->id);

$can_post_standard_job = !checkJobPostingLeft($account, 0) ? ‘disabled’ : ”;
$can_post_premium_job = !checkJobPostingLeft($account, 1) ? ‘disabled’ : ”;

if (($can_post_standard_job!=”)&&($can_post_premium_job!=”)) {
$this->assign(‘goto_buynow’, true);
return ;
}

$this->assignRef(‘can_post_standard_job’, $can_post_standard_job);
$this->assignRef(‘can_post_premium_job’, $can_post_premium_job);
}[/PHP]

Hi, it seems that I was to quick, when I change the amount of jobs manual from 0:30 to 1:30 I can not post a job while in the account it shown that I have 1 job.

Sorry I see you have answered this question in another post.
