Sorry I meant to write back right away to let you know that I fixed the issue right away. I needed to force rewrite https in the back end. Once I did that it worked. I got distracted and neglected to let you know. Thanks for your prompt response!

I was able to repair the database with the help of database repair software. Looks like I’m good to go. Thanks for the quick response!

Hi – I’m finally getting back to this. I did try dropping in the new code, and it’s interesting, after I save it and go back to it later, I see the old table coding in it. However since doing that, it’s now truncating any content in the table that is more than 250 words:
https://www.healthallianceinternational.org/jobs/united-states/

This does help with overall length on the page – but what we were trying to achieve is just seeing maybe the first 5 or 6 fields (down to UW Req#) then have it say “Read More” and go to the full job description. Is that possible? My idea was to excerpt the entire table with the first 5 or 6 fields, not excerpt from each field – if that makes sense.

Thanks!

Hi there – thanks for continuing the conversation. I couldn’t send you a link before because the client didn’t have open jobs (I had to temporarily and quickly unarchive a job to see if my coding worked). But now they have something posted as of just a few days ago. Here is the link: https://www.healthallianceinternational.org/jobs/united-states/

You’ll see that even though I have the coding that you see in my earlier message above, it’s still showing the whole job listing on this page. The client had me add language some time ago to let people know that they might have to scroll down if there is more than one job. That’s what they are trying to avoid… people possibly missing seeing other jobs. Right now there happens to only be one job so it’s not really an issue. But with two jobs, you have to definitely scroll down. They’d prefer just a title and description except for each listing. Thanks!

Thanks! I did make that change (see below)… however it’s still not working. I still see the complete job description when I go to the job list page. Actually the listing is technically on a job category page (as I mentioned earlier in this thread). Could that be the reason?

[job_loop]
<div class=”job[job_row_number] job[job_id] [job_odd_even]”>
<table class=”job-table[if_job_highlighted] highlighted[/if_job_highlighted]”>
<tr>
<th scope=”row”>Title</th>
<td>[job_icon] [job_link][job_title][/job_link]</td>
</tr>
[if_job_categories]
<tr>
<th scope=”row”>Country</th>
<td>[job_category_links]</td>
</tr>
[/if_job_categories]
[job_field_loop]
[if_job_field]
<tr>
<th scope=”row”>[job_field_label]</th>
<td>[job_field length=”250″]</td>
</tr>
[/if_job_field]
[/job_field_loop]
<tr>
<td></td>
<td class=”jobs-applynow”>[job_apply_link]Apply Now[/job_apply_link]</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div><br/><br/>
[/job_loop]

Thanks however I dropped that in and it didn’t work. Perhaps I didn’t add it in the correct place? I took a guess. Here is how my current shortcodes look in the Job List Template – you can see where I added it – in the middle where the job_field codes are:

[job_loop]
<div class=”job[job_row_number] job[job_id] [job_odd_even]”>
<table class=”job-table[if_job_highlighted] highlighted[/if_job_highlighted]”>
<tr>
<th scope=”row”>Title</th>
<td>[job_icon] [job_link][job_title][/job_link]</td>
</tr>
[if_job_categories]
<tr>
<th scope=”row”>Country</th>
<td>[job_category_links]</td>
</tr>
[/if_job_categories]
[job_field_loop]
[if_job_field]
<tr>
<th scope=”row”>[job_field_label]</th>
<td>[job_field][job_field length=”250″]</td>
</tr>
[/if_job_field]
[/job_field_loop]
<tr>
<td></td>
<td class=”jobs-applynow”>[job_apply_link]Apply Now[/job_apply_link]</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div><br/><br/>
[/job_loop]

Thanks Thomas -however I already do have category pages – that wasn’t my question. You’ll see what I’m talking about if you look at the site (https://www.healthallianceinternational.org/work-with-us/ – this page has the links to category pages). My question is this. If you have multiple jobs in that one category, they are listed on that category page IN FULL. In my client’s case, these are usually fairly long descriptions. If someone visits a category page, and there are 2 or more jobs, they would have to scroll down past the first job to notice that there is another one. People have missed seeing that there is more than one job.

So again – is there a way to show excerpts on the category page of each job? So when they get to the category page they will see short excerpts for example of just the description – and see that there are 3 jobs listed, then can click through to get the full listing on separate job pages?

I’ll take a look at what you are saying about the pagination shortcode. I didn’t place it anywhere in particular, it is whatever the default pagination was. Would be great to get more info, but I’ll try playing with placement in the meantime.

Thanks!

p.s. There is also an issue with pagination – if you look at the bottom of the page – it says “next page” even though there isn’t a next page. When you click on it sometimes goes to a 404 error page or goes back to the home page. I’ve even seen it at times go to a different category page on the site. https://www.healthallianceinternational.org/jobs/united-states/

Thanks for your response – yes I understand the purpose of it, and 75% of the time we will be using it as an ATS. We just were curious if we could somehow remove the button on this one category. It’s just an unusual situation where we have one category of job that shouldn’t be applied for directly with HAI, but through the University where it’s housed.

Thanks!

It would be so great if the Submit Your Application was also an app form field that simply could be left unchecked for United States. But of course not the case. But I was hopeful that since certain app form fields can be hidden for certain job categories, we could also hide the button depending on the category.

I do have a dummy job that I had to hide as soon as we went live. I can put it up right now for a short time only.

I didn’t do anything mysterious or that wasn’t part of the existing set up of the plug in. Each job application form field (in the application settings part of Job Manager Settings) has checkboxes for the categories created. I simply left the United States box unchecked for each job application form field….indicating that the field shouldn’t be visible on the US job application page. I checked the boxes for each of the other categories – so it shows up on all of those category application pages.

Hi again – the site went live last night so you can now view what I’m referring to.
https://www.healthallianceinternational.org/jobs/united-states/

This job is categorized as a united states job, which also means that the employment process is different. Instead of an application form being submitted through the Health Alliance International site, the applicant needs to follow a link to the University of Washington website. There’s no other feature or service that we are using – just a simple link and an explanation.

If you click on Apply Now at the bottom, you are taken to the Application page – but using the Job Manager settings for the application form, I was able to differentiate how a United States job application form looks – I only created text with the explanation and links. ( I created MANY fields in the application form settings and checked the boxes for all other categories except the United States category. So a job in Mozambique for example shows a very long application form on its application page).

The issue is we don’t want people to be confused on the United states job application page due to the big “Submit Your Application” button. Hoping to be able to remove it from being viewed only on application forms for the United States job category – similar to how I hid application form fields from that category.

thanks!

I’m using Version: 0.7.23 of Job Manager. The WP install is version 4.2.2.

I can’t send the link unless there’s a way to message you privately as you’ll need a password to view it. The site isn’t fully live yet.

Thanks!
