Job Alerts Feature Request

    From my experience with other job sites, typically job alert emails only come once when the matching criteria is met. In other words if I’m searching for “web design” jobs, if a new job comes up with those keywords I will get an email about it on the day it’s posted and that’s it. It seems like with the Job Alert plugin the emails continue to be sent for that same job as long as that job has not expired. So, perhaps in the future we can have an option to only send one email per alert? What do you think?

    I’m not sure if you’ve just not noticed, or if it is a genuine bug, but same-alerts don’t repeat jobs. If you have a daily alert for instance, the query it uses will only pull jobs from the last 24hours. Next day, the same. So a job posted yesterday should only be sent to you once.

    Is it based on the date the job was posted or the modified date of the job page? If it’s modified date, then that would explain things, because with my setup all jobs postings are refreshed/updated daily. If that is the case, how can I change it to use the publish date rather than the modify date? Sorry to be such a pain, I swear I’ll get out of your hair once I get this thing working!

    Actually, I did find a bug today and pushed out an update. There was a rogue space in one of the function calls!

    I think I found a couple more:

    Line 80:
    add_filter( 'posts_where', array( $this, 'filter_ ' . $alert->alert_frequency ) );

    Line 102:
    remove_filter( 'posts_where', array( $this, 'filter_ ' . $alert->alert_frequency ) );

    Yep, had someone else test some fixes and this will be live tomorrow.
