Add Tags When Posting a Job
this tutorial is very similar to adding the salary range, except for some few differences. but here’s how you can add tagging when posting jobs.
HERE IT GOES!

hi, you would have to add the tags field on the search function on class.Job.php, should be easy though if you’ve worked with jobberbase already.
Are these searchable? Thanks for a GREAT! tutorial
hi, this mod does not include the tags (yet) as searchable, but this can easily be done. you just need to update the search function on the class.Job.php to include the field ‘tags’ on the jobs table.
After inputting info, I have just a white screen and I’ve followed the steps all the way.
hi, please turn your error reporting on and let me know what error you are getting. none has reported that this isn’t working so far.
Would be nice if you could work out how to add a tagcloud to the sidebar (like a companycloud).
hi, let me think about that
i haven’t had a lot of time lately…but when i do, i’ll write a tutorial for it. by the way, keep me posted on the jobberBase on steroids version that you are coming up with!
Thanks. Great post.
I have a problem though.
When I publish a job with say the folowing tags:
asp.net, programmer, c#
the resulting tags look like this:
asp net programmer c#
The period is being removed from the tag.
Does the tag have to be urlencoded?
How can I fix this?
hi, you just need to exclude period (.) from the “explode” statement in the code (sorry i’m not in front of the code right now so just trying to recall from memory.)
this explode line filters the string from possible separators like comma or space, etc. so just remove the part “.”, from the line where you find this.
hi,
I have a problem. When I click a tag
and the page is displayed “Jobs tagged with “tag” (1)”, then when I click one of the “Only display – fulltime, parttime, freelance” links I get the following error:
We’re sorry, but the page you were looking for could not be found.
Hello?
Anyone?
This is a bug…
hi there, thanks for reporting this bug. right now i don’t have much time to work on a fix, but if you do find a solution, feel free to post it here!
Hey Redjumpsuit,
Thanks again for this great add on. But of course it doesn’t work properly. If you go to my test site http://www.test.werkict.com/post/ you see the block for filling out the code but not the text description. What am I doing wrong?
Truly love your stuff!!!
Well I’ve got it working on my test site
and thanks again for this add on but I’ve got one question/request. You’ve stated before that’s quite easy to make Tags searchable. Somewhere in page_job.php but can you point out to me how to create this function in the search block of code?
Thanks a lot!!

On page_tag.php change “$smarty->assign(’seo_title’, ‘Jobs tagged with “‘ . $id .’”‘);” into “$translations['tags']['page_title']” and include it in the language file.
Still having some trouble with it, but I’m trying to solve it. If I have the solution I’ll post it.
He, I’m having trouble adding the tag field and the salary range hack. The salarymax value is being inserted als tag and the salarymax value stays empty (making it to not show on the template). Any solution for that?
hi evert, i will try to look into that when i get back (i am away on a trip and will be back saturday) and help you out. but until then, cheers!
Hi very good,
I have a problem with strange characters such as accents and
