[Plugin: Job Manager] Application Page URL

    Hello there! I would first like to say thank you very much for this plugin. It definitely provides what I am looking for in my future site. I am also glad to see that there are anticipated future updates to this plugin.

    Though, I would like to add that I am having one small issue with this plugin. I am able to do everything except for one thing: apply for a job.

    I think that I have found the reason for this mishap: The URL for the application page is not correct, or I have not set it up correctly.

    The URL for the application page (when click on “Apply Now”) is http://jjr.iblogger.org/jobs/apply25/

    Nothing shows when the URL above is visited.

    Though, this application URL does work, but it does not allow a person to apply for any specific job: http://jjr.iblogger.org/jobs/apply

    To look at my job post (“job test”), visit this URL and click “More Info”:
    http://jjr.iblogger.org/jobs

    Is there a way to change the URL application to simply /apply? Or is there some way to have the /apply25 changed to /apply?

    Thank you for any help that you may give me,
    Jesse

    Ah, I see the problem. As a quick fix, please go to line 404 of jobman-display.php and change:

    $url .= $job->ID . '/';

    to:

    $url .= '/' . $job->ID . '/';

    I’ll add a more permanent fix in a future release, but this should fix the problem for your installation.

    Also, in your Admin area under Settings -> Permalinks, could I get you to give me a copy of the string in Custom Structure box?

    Thank you for the quick response! The fix does work for the application button.

    I did notice another 404 error I was getting, though, when I am looking at the job information after clicking ‘more info’. I have tried looking through the PHP files and was not able to find it (though, I’m a novice at PHP at best): When I click on “job: job test” post heading (after clicking ‘more info’) it links me to http://jjr.iblogger.org/job-test-25, and a ‘page not found 404 error’.

    http://jjr.iblogger.org/jobs/job-test (here is the URL again)

    As well, when at the Application screen, the permanent link to http://jjr.iblogger.org/2010/01/04/apply/ does not work (404 error).

    My custom structure for the permalinks was below:
    /%postname%-%post_id%

    I actually rechecked the ww.wp.xz.cn codex files on permalinks, and saw that using the /%postname% at the beginning of the permalink could cause issues

    I now have changed permalinks to this setting:
    /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

    The above mentioned 404 errors with ‘job testing’ and subsequent job posts still exist after changing permalinks, though, sadly.

    Is this generally a problem with the theme that I have chosen? Or does it have to do with the custom permalinks?

    I must say thank you for your help!

    The problem is that Job Manager uses Page-style permalinks, but WordPress is treating the job pages as blog Posts, so it is trying to apply the Post permalink structure to them.

    This is definitely a bug, I’ll figure out how to override the default behaviour so it always shows the right link.

    Ran into the same problem as JJRUser when job listing is a child of another page. Clicking Apply redirects to a non-existent post. Looking forward to a solution. Thanks for all your work on this great plugin pento!

    Thanks for the report! I’ve figured out the problem, the fix will be in the next release, hopefully in the next day or two!
