Backfill your job board with Indeed and SimplyHired

admin — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 18:19:28 +0000

I have read many times in the jobberBase forum about people wanting to back fill their job board from other job aggregator like Indeed and SimplyHired. Well, today is your day! This weekend I had time to think through this add-on and put it together for jobberBase. The add-on should work for jobberBase 1.8 and jobberBase 1.9.x, you will need to set the cron files as cron jobs and specify a schedule. You will need to be mindful that anything to do with XML parsing takes more computing resource so be gentle on setting the cron to aggregate the jobs from Indeed.com or SimplyHired.com.

Requirement:
1) jobberBase v1.8 or v1.9.x installed (and running)

Features:
1) No database modification
2) Setup the backfill jobs as cron jobs to run at your preferred interval
3) No double-posting of the same jobs from the same network
4) It will back fill jobs for all your job categories (and location if wanted)

jobberBase 1.9.x Backfill Add-On
US$99*

Please read the license agreement before making a purchase
* single-use license

NOTE: I am currently on GMT+8:00 and I manually send the codes out, so if you experience delay in receiving the bundled add-on code, rest assured they will be sent out to you as soon as I am able.

If you have other job aggregators you want to backfill your job board aside from Indeed or SimplyHired (i.e. CareerJet, Yahoo! HotJobs, etc. as long as there is available valid XML/RSS feed from the job site), you can contact me for separate customization work.

A Better URL Fix

admin — Fri, 28 May 2010 20:58:43 +0000

this is my second take to fixing the URL problem in jobberBase. i originally posted a fix back in November called The elusive http:// but later on realized that it would be tiring to keep adding the script/code everytime you have a URL field that you want to fix. so now i created a function instead, that you would just call everytime you want a URL field fixed.

open /_includes/functions.php and add this function

function fixurl($url)
{
	if ($url == '') {
		$fixedurl = '';
	} elseif ((substr($url,0,7) == "http://" OR substr($url,0,7) == "https://") AND strpos($url, ".")) {
		$fixedurl = $url;
	} elseif (substr($url,0,7) != "http://" AND strpos($url, ".")) {
		$fixedurl = 'http://'. $url;
	}
	return $fixedurl;
}

how to use this? as an example, you can open /_includes/class.Job.php and look for the blocks like

public function Create($params)
{
...
}

and use it like this

"' . fixurl($params['url']) . '",

and in

public function Edit($params)
{
...
}

and you will use the function like this

url = "' . fixurl($params['url']) . '",

note: this should work for all jobberBase versions.

Multiple Admin Users

admin — Sun, 09 May 2010 08:48:38 +0000

Note: this hack is for jobberBase 1.8

this will allow you to create unlimited number of admin users who can manage the site for you. the superuser will still be “admin” who will be able to create and delete other accounts, the rest of the users can do the rest of the “admin” user can do.

it should be useful for sites who has more than one person managing all the aspects of their job board and did not want to share their password with others (or using one general password for everybody else.) as this is a just a basic multi-admin user hack, there is still a lot more that can be done with this hack like auditing actions done by all the accounts or restricting access to only certain pieces of the admin site.

1) open /admin/index.php

after this block

case 'password':
	if(!isset($_SESSION['AdminId']))
	{
		redirect_to(BASE_URL);
		exit;
	}
	require_once 'page_password.php';
	$html_title = 'Change password / ' . SITE_NAME;
	$template = 'password.tpl';
	$flag = 1;
	break;

add this block:

case 'users':
	if (!isset($_SESSION['AdminId']) || (isset($_SESSION['AdminId']) && $_SESSION['AdminId'] > 1))
	{
		redirect_to(BASE_URL);
		exit;
	}
	require_once 'page_users.php';
	$html_title = 'Add new users / ' . SITE_NAME;
	$template = 'users.tpl';
	$flag = 1;
	break;

2) create a file called “page_users.php” on the /admin folder and add the code below:


/*
 * jobberBase job board platform
 *
 * @author		RedJumpsuit 
 * @web		http://www.redjumpsuit.net
 * 
 * Manage multiple admin users
 */
 
$smarty->assign('current_category', 'users');
 
require_once '_includes/class.Admin.php';
$ad = new CAdmin();
 
$smarty->assign('error', '');
 
if ($extra == 'delete')
{
	if ($ad->delete($id, $_SESSION['AdminId']))
	{
		$smarty->assign('success', 'User was deleted.');
	}
	else
	{
		$smarty->assign('error', 'User could not be deleted.');
	}
}
 
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
	if (empty($_POST['username'])) {
		$smarty->assign('error', 'The username is empty. Please type in a new username.');
	} elseif (empty($_POST['new_password'])) {
		$smarty->assign('error', 'The password is empty. Please type in a new password.');
	} elseif ($_POST['new_password'] != $_POST['verify_password']) {
		$smarty->assign('error', 'The password and verification password do not match.');
	} else {
 
		if($ad->create($_POST['username'], $db->real_escape_string($_POST['new_password']), $_SESSION['AdminId']))
		{
			$smarty->assign('success', 'New user has been created!');
		}
		else
		{
			$smarty->assign('error', 'User already exists.');
		}
	}
}
 
$smarty->assign('users', $ad->listusers());	
?>

3) create a file called “users.tpl” under /admin/_templates/ and add the code below:

{include file="header.tpl"}
<div id="content">
		<h3>Add new Admin userh3>
 
		<form id="publish_form" action="{$smarty.server.REQUEST_URI}" method="post">
			<fieldset>
				<table cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" border="0">
					{if $error}
					<tr>
						<td colspan="2">
							<img src="{$BASE_URL_ADMIN}img/exclamation.png" alt="" /> {$error}
						td>
					tr>
					{elseif $success}
					<tr>
						<td colspan="2">
							<img src="{$BASE_URL_ADMIN}img/icon_accept.gif" alt="" /> {$success}
						td>
					tr>
					{/if}
					<tr>
						<td>Username:td>
						<td><input type="username" name="username" size="30" />td>
					tr>
					<tr>
						<td>New password:td>
						<td><input type="password" name="new_password" size="30" />td>
					tr>
					<tr>
						<td>Verify password:td>
						<td><input type="password" name="verify_password" size="30" />td>
					tr>
				table>
			fieldset>
			<p>
				<button type="submit" class="submit_button">Add new userbutton>
			p>
		form>
 
<h2>List of Admin Usersh2>
<table id="job-posts" class="job-posts" cellspacing="0">
<tr class="alt">
	<td>IDtd>
	<td>Usernametd>				
	<td>Actiontd>
tr>
{foreach from=$users item=list}
<tr>
	<td class="center">{$list.id}td>
	<td>{$list.username}td>
	<td class="center"><a href="{$BASE_URL_ADMIN}users/{$list.username}/delete/">Deletea>td>
tr>
{/foreach}
table>
 
div>

{include file="footer.tpl"}

4) create a file called “sidebar.tpl” under /admin/_templates/ and add the code below:

<div id="sidebar">
<ul>
{if $smarty.session.AdminId == 1}
<h3>Add-Onsh3>
<li {if $current_category == 'users'}class="selected"{/if}><a href="{$BASE_URL_ADMIN}users/">Manage Usersa>li>
{/if}
ul>
div>

5) open /admin/_templates/header.tpl and add this at the very end of the page:

{if $smarty.session.AdminId}
<div id="sidebar">
	{include file="sidebar.tpl"}
div>
{/if}

6) lastly, open /admin/_includes/class.Admin.php and after this block:

public function getId()
 	{
 		return $this->userId;
 	}

add this:

public function create($username,$password,$id)
 	{
		if ($id == 1) 
		{
			global $db;
			$md5password = md5($password);
			$sql = 'SELECT id FROM '.DB_PREFIX.'admin WHERE username="'.$username.'"';
			$result = $db->query($sql);
			$row = $result->fetch_assoc();
			if (empty($row))
			{
				$sql = 'INSERT INTO '.DB_PREFIX.'admin (
							username, password)
						VALUES (
							"'. trim($username) .'",
							"'. $md5password .'")';
				$db->query($sql);
				return true;
			} 
			else
			{
				return false;
			}
		} 
		else 
		{
			return false;
		}
 	}
 
	public function listusers()
	{
		global $db;
		$sql = 'SELECT * FROM '.DB_PREFIX.'admin WHERE id > 1';
		$result = $db->query($sql);
		while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc())
		{
			$users[] = $row;
		}
 
		if (isset($users))
		{
			return $users;
		}
	}
 
	public function delete($username,$id)
	{
		if ($id == 1) 
		{
			global $db;
			$sql = 'DELETE FROM '.DB_PREFIX.'admin WHERE username = "'. trim($username) .'"';
			if ($db->query($sql))
			{
				return true;
			}
			else
			{
				return false;
			}
		} 
		else 
		{
			return false;
		}
	}

like i said, there is more that can be done to extend this hack, but at least you will have a good place to start on.

Integrating Google Maps

admin — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 19:12:14 +0000

this is possibly the next most requested hack for jobberBase and so i took on myself to put together this hack and hopefully this is something that a lot of people will find very useful for their website. i have been looking for a google maps api class for a while and finally found one that is not so hard to implement and should be very easy to follow.

as always, if you encounter errors on this guide, please make sure you post the error string or code you receive as i will not be able to help you if i don’t know what’s wrong, right?

what you need:
1. register for a google maps API key
2. download the google maps api class from phpinsider.net
3. unzip and save the GoogleMapAPI.class.php file on the /_includes folder

buy me coffee if you like this post!

to start with, some screenshots for you people…

so here goes:

1. create your google maps settings table

CREATE TABLE `googlemaps` (
`id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
`is_active` TINYINT NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`api_key` VARCHAR( 255 ) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NOT NULL ,
`height` VARCHAR( 10 ) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NOT NULL ,
`width` VARCHAR( 10 ) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NOT NULL ,
`sidebar` TINYINT NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`direction` TINYINT NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`type` TINYINT NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`scale` TINYINT NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
PRIMARY KEY ( `id` )
) ENGINE = MYISAM 
 
INSERT INTO `googlemaps` (
`id` ,
`is_active` ,
`api_key` ,
`height` ,
`width` ,
`sidebar` ,
`direction` ,
`type` ,
`scale`
)
VALUES (
NULL , '1', 'your-google-maps-api-key', '200px', '300px', '0', '0', '0', '0'
);

2. backup your jobs table (important!) after getting a backup, alter your jobs table to include an address field that will be used by google maps

ALTER TABLE `jobs` ADD `address` VARCHAR( 255 ) NULL AFTER `company`

3. open /config.php

after

require_once '_includes/smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php';

add below

// google map settings
require_once '_includes/class.GoogleMaps.php';
 
// google map api class
require_once '_includes/GoogleMapAPI.class.php';

after

define('CAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY', $settings['captcha_private_key']);

add below

// google maps api settings
$gm_class = new jbGoogleMaps();
$gm_settings = $gm_class->showsettings();
define('GOOGLE_MAPS_ACTIVE', $gm_settings['is_active']);
define('GOOGLE_MAPS_APIKEY', $gm_settings['api_key']);
define('GOOGLE_MAPS_H', $gm_settings['height']);
define('GOOGLE_MAPS_W', $gm_settings['width']);
define('GOOGLE_MAPS_SIDEBAR', $gm_settings['sidebar']);
define('GOOGLE_MAPS_DIRECTION', $gm_settings['direction']);
define('GOOGLE_MAPS_TYPECONTROL', $gm_settings['type']);	
define('GOOGLE_MAPS_SCALECONTROL', $gm_settings['scale']);

4. open /page_write.php

after

'poster_email' => $poster_email,

you will find this twice on this file, add this below

'address' => $address,

5. open /page_job.php

after

$smarty->assign('job', $info);

add this block

	if (GOOGLE_MAPS_ACTIVE == 1 && $info['address'] != '') 
	{
	// google maps - declare google map class
	$map = new GoogleMapAPI();
 
	// google maps - enter your google maps api key
	$map->setAPIKey(GOOGLE_MAPS_APIKEY);
 
	// google maps - set height and width
	$map->setWidth(GOOGLE_MAPS_W);
	$map->setHeight(GOOGLE_MAPS_H);
 
	// google maps - set if sidebar enabled
	if (GOOGLE_MAPS_SIDEBAR == 0) {
		$map->disableSidebar();
	}
 
	// google maps - set if direction enabled
	if (GOOGLE_MAPS_DIRECTION == 0) {
		$map->disableDirections();
	}
 
	// google maps - set if type enabled
	if (GOOGLE_MAPS_TYPECONTROL == 0) {
		$map->disableTypeControls();
	}
 
	// google maps - set if scale enabled
	if (GOOGLE_MAPS_SCALECONTROL == 0) {
		$map->disableScaleControl();
	}
 
	// google maps - create map marker for the address
	$map->addMarkerByAddress($info['address'],$info['company'],''. $info['company'] .'');
 
	// google maps - assign api to smarty variables
	$smarty->assign('google_map_header',$map->getHeaderJS());
	$smarty->assign('google_map_js',$map->getMapJS());
	$smarty->assign('google_map_sidebar',$map->getSidebar());
	$smarty->assign('google_map',$map->getMap());
}

6. open /_templates/default/publish-write.tpl

after

<tr>
	<td class="publish-label">{$translations.publish.name_label}:td>
	<td><input {if $errors.company}class="error"{/if} tabindex="6" type="text" name="company" id="company" size="40" value="{if $job.company}{$job.company|escape}{else}{$smarty.post.company|escape}{/if}" />
	<span class="validation-error">{if $errors.company}<img src="{$BASE_URL}_templates/{$THEME}/img/icon-delete.png" alt="" />{/if}span>
	td>
tr>

add this

<tr>
	<td class="publish-label">{$translations.publish.address}:td>
	<td><input {if $errors.address}class="error"{/if} tabindex="7" type="text" name="address" id="address" size="40" value="{if $job.address}{$job.address}{else}{$smarty.post.address}{/if}" />
	td>
tr>

notice the tabindex of the new field, it is set to 7, which means you have to adjust the tabindex (add 1) of the fields after it, don’t say i didn’t tell you!

7. open /_templates/default/job-details.tpl

after

{$job.description}

add this

{if $smarty.const.GOOGLE_MAPS_ACTIVE == 1 && $job.address != ''}
	<p>{$google_map}p>
{/if}

8. open /_templates/default/header.tpl

after this

<script type="text/javascript">
	Jobber.I18n = {$translationsJson};

add this

{if $google_map_header}
	{$google_map_header}
	{$google_map_js}
	
	<style type="text/css">
	  v\:* {ldelim}
		behavior:url(#default#VML);
	 {rdelim}
	style>
{/if}

and update this

<body>

to this

<body {if $google_map_header}onload="onLoad()"{/if}>

9. open /_includes/translations.ini

[publish]

add this

address = "Address"

then, add this at the end of the file

[googlemaps]
settings = "Google Maps Settings"
is_active = "Is Active?"
api_key = "API Key"
height = "Height"
width = "Width"
sidebar = "Sdiebar?"
direction = "Direction?"
type = "Type Control?"
scale = "Scale Control?"
submit = "Update Google Maps Seetings"

10. open /_includes/class.Job.php

after

var $mMySqlDate = false;

add

var $mAddress = false;

on the first SQL statement, after the field

c.name as type_name,

add this

a.address AS address,

after this

$this->mTypeVarName = $row['type_var_name'];

add this

$this->mAddress = $row['address'];

wherever you find this line

'type_name' => $this->mTypeName,

add this after

'address' => $this->mAddress,

look for this line

$sql = 'INSERT INTO '.DB_PREFIX.'jobs (type_id, category_id, title, description, company, city_id, url, apply, created_on, is_temp, is_active,

and update to this

$sql = 'INSERT INTO '.DB_PREFIX.'jobs (type_id, category_id, title, description, company, address, city_id, url, apply, created_on, is_temp, is_active,

then after this

"' . $params['company'] . '",

add this

 "' . $params['address'] . '",

still on the same file, look for this

company = "' . $params['company'] . '",

then add this after that

address = "' . $params['address'] . '",

11. create a new file on /_includes/ and save it as class.GoogleMaps.php then paste this code in the file you created


/**
 * jobber job board platform
 *
 * @author	RedJumpsuit 
 * @web		http://www.redjumpsuit.net

class jbGoogleMaps
{
 
	function __construct()
	{ }
 
	// update google maps settings
	public function updatesettings($data)
	{
		global $db;
 
		$sql = 'UPDATE '.DB_PREFIX.'googlemaps

						sidebar = '. $data['sidebar'] .',
						direction = '. $data['direction'] .', 
						type = '. $data['type'] .', 
						scale = '. $data['scale'] .'
					WHERE id = 1';
 
		if ($db->query($sql))
		{
			return true;
		}
		else
		{
			return false;
		}
	}
 
	// show google maps settings
	public function showsettings()
	{
		global $db;
		$gmaps = array();
 
		$sql = 'SELECT * FROM '.DB_PREFIX.'googlemaps';
		$result = $db->query($sql);
		$row = $result->fetch_assoc();
 
		$gmaps['is_active'] = $row['is_active'];
		$gmaps['api_key'] = $row['api_key'];
		$gmaps['height'] = $row['height'];
		$gmaps['width'] = $row['width'];
		$gmaps['sidebar'] = $row['sidebar'];
		$gmaps['direction'] = $row['direction'];
		$gmaps['type'] = $row['type'];
		$gmaps['scale'] = $row['scale'];
 
		if (isset($gmaps))
		{
			return $gmaps;
		}
	}
 
}
?>

12. open /admin/index.php

after this

case 'cities':
	if(!isset($_SESSION['AdminId']))
	{
		redirect_to(BASE_URL);
		exit;
	}
 
	require_once 'page_cities.php';
	$flag = 1;
	$citiesPage = new CitiesPage();
	$template = $citiesPage->processRequest($id, $extra, $smarty);
	break;

add this

case 'googlemaps':
	if(!isset($_SESSION['AdminId']))
	{
		redirect_to(BASE_URL);
		exit;
	}
	require_once 'page_googlemaps.php';
	$flag = 1;
	break;

13. open /admin/page_edit_post.php

after this

$jobToEdit['type_id'] = $_POST['type_id'];

add this

$jobToEdit['address'] = $_POST['address'];

then after this

'poster_email' => $poster_email,

add this

'address' => $address,

14. create a new file on /admin/ and save it as page_googlemaps.php and paste this code


 
$gm = new jbGoogleMaps();
 
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') 
{
	if (empty($_POST['api_key'])) 
	{
		$smarty->assign('error', 'API Key is required.');
	} 
	elseif (empty($_POST['height'])) 
	{
		$smarty->assign('error', 'Height is required.');
	} 
	elseif (empty($_POST['width'])) 
	{
		$smarty->assign('error', 'Width is required.');
	} 
	else 
	{
 
		$data = array('is_active' => $_POST['is_active'],
					  'api_key' => $_POST['api_key'],
					  'height' => $_POST['height'],
					  'width' => $_POST['width'],
					  'sidebar' => $_POST['sidebar'],
					  'direction' => $_POST['direction'],
					  'type' => $_POST['type'],
					  'scale' => $_POST['scale']);
 
		$gm->updatesettings($data);
 
		unset($_POST['is_active']);
		unset($_POST['api_key']);
		unset($_POST['height']);
		unset($_POST['width']);
		unset($_POST['sidebar']);
		unset($_POST['direction']);
		unset($_POST['type']);
		unset($_POST['Scale']);
 
		$smarty->assign('success', 'Google Maps Settings has been updated!');
 
	}
}
 
$smarty->assign('current_category', 'googlemaps');
$smarty->assign('gm', $gm->showsettings());	
$html_title = 'Google Maps Settings / ' . SITE_NAME;
$template = 'googlemaps.tpl';
?>

15. open /admin/_templates/header.tpl

after this

<li {if $current_category == 'settings'}class="selected"{/if}><a href="{$BASE_URL_ADMIN}settings/">Settingsa>li>

add this

<li {if $current_category == 'googlemaps'}class="selected"{/if}><a href="{$BASE_URL_ADMIN}googlemaps/">Google Mapsa>li>

16. open /admin/_templates/edit-post.tpl

after this

<tr>
	<td class="publish-label">{$translations.publish.name_label}:td>
	<td><input {if $errors.company}class="error"{/if} tabindex="6" type="text" name="company" id="company" size="40" value="{if $job.company}{$job.company|escape}{else}{$smarty.post.company|escape}{/if}" />
	<span class="validation-error">{if $errors.company}<img src="{$BASE_URL_ADMIN}img/icon-delete.png" alt="" />{/if}span>
	td>
tr>

add this

<tr>
	<td class="publish-label">{$translations.publish.address}:td>
	<td><input {if $errors.address}class="error"{/if} tabindex="7" type="text" name="address" id="address" size="40" value="{if $job.address}{$job.address}{else}{$smarty.post.address}{/if}" />
	td>
tr>

again, don’t forget to adjust the tab index of the fields

17. lastly, create a file in /admin/_templates/ and save it as googlemaps.tpl and paste the code below

{include file="header.tpl"}
<div id="content">
<h3 class="page-heading">{$translations.googlemaps.settings}h3>
<form id="publish_form" name="settings" action="{$smarty.server.REQUEST_URI}" method="post">

	td>
tr>
{elseif $error}
<tr>
	<td colspan="2">
		<img src="{$BASE_URL_ADMIN}img/exclamation.png" alt="" /> {$error}
	td>
tr>
{/if}
{if $success == ''}
<tr>

Simple PayPal Pay Now hack

admin — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 14:42:27 +0000

this is a very simple PayPal Buy Now hack for jobberBase (plain straightforward use of hosted Buy Now buttons) if you only need to be able to direct your job posters to a paypal payment facility with the details of the job being posted (job id, title, etc) and approve jobs based on the payment made.

what you need to do:
* for each job type, create a hosted Buy Now buttons on PayPal (and change button type to Pay Now)
* take note of the PayPal button id for each of the Buy Now/Pay Now buttons you created
* when you have finished following the tutorial below, go to Admin->PayPal->PayPal Setting for Job Types and enter the corresponding amount and PayPal button ID for each of the job type
* you will approve the jobs paid for in the Admin to activate the job ad

please consider donating

create the paypal settings table

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `paypal_settings` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `button_type` varchar(100) CHARACTER SET utf8 NOT NULL,
  `button_image` varchar(255) CHARACTER SET utf8 NOT NULL,
  `currency_code` varchar(3) CHARACTER SET utf8 NOT NULL,
  `return_url` varchar(255) CHARACTER SET utf8 NOT NULL,
  `is_active` tinyint(4) NOT NULL,
  `first_post_only` tinyint(4) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=2 ;
 
INSERT INTO `paypal_settings` (`id`, `button_type`, `button_image`, `currency_code`, `return_url`, `is_active`, `first_post_only`) VALUES
(1, '_s-xclick', 'https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_paynowCC_LG.gif', 'USD', 'http://localhost/jb18/paypal/', 1, 0);

alter the types table to add amount and paypal button id

ALTER TABLE `types` ADD `amount` INT( 11 ) NULL ,
ADD `paypal_button_id` VARCHAR( 255 ) NULL

1) /config.php

after the line

require_once '_includes/smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php';

add below

// paypal settings
require_once '_includes/class.PayPal.php';

after the line

define('CAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY', $settings['captcha_private_key']);

add below

// PayPal Settings
$pp = new SimplePayPal();
$pp_settings = $pp->showsettings();

}
else
{
	redirect_to(BASE_URL . 'confirm/' . $job->mId  . '/'.$first_time_post.'/');
}

4) /_includes/functions.php

replace this whole function

function get_types()
{
...
}

with this block

function get_types()
{
	global $db;
	$sql = 'SELECT id, name, var_name, amount, paypal_button_id

	if ($row)
		return $row['paypal_button_id'];
	return false;
}

5) /_includes/class.Job.php

replace the whole function

public function Publish()

after this line

<label for="type_id_{$types[tmp2].id}"><img src="{$BASE_URL}_templates/{$THEME}/img/icon-{$types[tmp2].var_name}.png" alt="{$types[tmp2].name}" />

add this before the closing label tag

{if $smarty.const.PAYPAL_IS_ACTIVE == 1}{$smarty.const.PAYPAL_CURRENCY_CODE}{$types[tmp2].amount}{/if}

this displays the amount corresponding to the job type (full time, part time, freelance, etc)

admin — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 11:05:37 +0000

i haven’t posted in a while (months actually) but as a come back i am posting one of the most requested hack lately. this Deny IP Manger does the following:

denies IP address
denies IP block (using wildcard)
lets you add IP address or block
lets you delete address or block
can be set to either on or off
very straightforward IP deny function

please consider donating

Deny IP Link

Deny IP Manager

let’s begin.

first create the ip deny table:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `denyip` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `ip_address` varchar(255) NOT NULL,

this is where you set whether the deny ip function is on (1) or not (0)

2) /index.php

case 'apply-online':

add below

if(DENY_IP == 1 && $ipclass->blockip($clientip))

Send Email Activation to Job Posters

admin — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 10:18:24 +0000

here’s a quick and easy way to send your first time job posters their own activation email links:

on /_includes/class.Postman.php, update the function

public function MailPublishPendingToUser($poster_email) {
...
}

to this

// Send mail to user when posting first time (thus the post needs to be moderated)
    public function MailPublishPendingToUser($poster_email,$id=false,$auth=false)
    {
        $msg = "Hello! :)\n\n";
        $msg .= "We apologize for the inconvenience, but since this is the first time you post with this e-mail address, we need to manually verify it.";
        if (isset($id) && $id > 0)
        {
            $msg .= "\n\nVerify Ad: " . BASE_URL . "activate/" . $id . "/" . $auth . "/";
            $msg .= "\n";
        }
        $msg .= "\nThank you for your patience, as the ad should be published ASAP. We'll send you an e-mail when that happens!";
        $msg .= "\n\nFrom now on, every ad you post with this e-mail address will instantly be published.";
        $msg .= "\n\n---\n\nThank you for using our service!\nThe Team";
 
        $subject = "Your ad on " . SITE_NAME;
 
        if ($poster_email != '' && validate_email($poster_email))
        {
            $mailer = $this->getConfiguredMailer();
 
            $mailer->SetFrom(NOTIFY_EMAIL, SITE_NAME);
            $mailer->AddAddress($poster_email);
            $mailer->Subject = $subject;
            $mailer->Body = $this->nl2br($msg);
            $mailer->AltBody = $msg;
 
            $mailer->Send();
        }
    }

and on /page_publish.php, update this line

$postMan->MailPublishPendingToUser($job->mPosterEmail);

to this

$postMan->MailPublishPendingToUser($job->mPosterEmail,$id,$job->mAuth);

this will send the first time job poster a link to activate his own ad.

reCaptcha on Contact Form

admin — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 09:20:55 +0000

one of our website has started getting spam messages from bots sending through the contact form, and obviously the easiest way to minimize (if not all together stop) is to just enable reCaptcha on the contact form. by default, jobberBase only has reCaptcha enabled when posting a new job and applying for a job. so here’s how you can implement reCaptcha on the Contact Form as well.

open page_page.php on the root folder and add this before the first line:

$smarty->assign('the_captcha', recaptcha_get_html(CAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY));
$smarty->assign('ENABLE_RECAPTCHA', ENABLE_RECAPTCHA);

on the same file, before these lines:

if ($contact_name == '')
{
	$errors['contact_name'] = $translations['contact']['name_error'];
}

add this:

// validation
if (ENABLE_RECAPTCHA)
{
	$resp = recaptcha_check_answer(CAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY,
	$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"], 
	$_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"],
	$_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]);
 
	if (!$resp->is_valid) 
	{
		$errors['captcha'] = $translations['captcha']['captcha_error'];
	}
}

that should take care of generating the reCaptcha field. and then next, open /_includes/default/page.tpl and before the submit field

<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="{$translations.contact.submit}" />

add this block:

{if $ENABLE_RECAPTCHA}
<label>Anti-Spam:label><br />
	{literal}
	<script type="text/javascript">
	  var RecaptchaOptions = {
		theme : 'white',
		tabindex : 9
	  };
	
	{/literal}
	{$the_captcha} <span class="validation-error">{if $smarty.session.apply_errors.captcha}
	<img src="{$BASE_URL}_templates/{$THEME}/img/icon-delete.png" alt="" /> {$errors.captcha}{/if}span>
	<br /><br />
{/if}

Online Job Manager for jobberBase v1.8

admin — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 18:43:11 +0000

how would you like to allow your job posters to be able to manage their jobs online, and not just through the emails sent to them? took a while before i was able to put together this script, but it’s finally done! i have been playing how to write this code on my mind probably since i began writing hacks for jobberBase. i’d actually consider it an ultra-lite version of company/employer login add-on.

features include the following:

job poster does not need to register for an account
no need to login
no forgetting passwords
can manage (edit or delete) older posted jobs without accessing the job’s email
job poster only needs the most recent email received when his/her job was posted
will not affect any of your customizations
supports pagination as well

this hack is a sort of workaround so that people would no longer need to keep their old publish job confirmation just so they can edit or deactivate their jobs, the most recent publish email would be enough to access all the job poster’s previous job ads (where the job poster used the same email address to post.)

if you are interested in this hack, simply make a PayPal donation (US$10 and up preferably) to this post (if you have benefited from any of my previous work) and you will receive the full source code and installation instructions.

Please read the license agreement before making a donation (#3 not applicable here but the rest is.)
