 * Hi There,
    I am looking to implement a send to a friend button the job page template.
 * Currently I am just using a mailto function with the details in the subject line
   which are entered using the shortcodes on Individual Job Template field.
 *  tags wrapping it?
 * Do you have a way I could achieve this?
 * Thanks for all your hard work, the plugin is awesome!

 * This is an interesting idea. Unfortunately, the upcoming 0.7 release is string
   frozen, so it can’t make it into there.
 * What I can do is add the ability to set a template to be used by all jobs – if
   you create a template called job.php, it will load that for any jobs.
 * I’ll add this to the 0.7 stable release, due out (hopefully) today or tomorrow.

 * Hi Pento,
    Thanks for your quick response appreciate it, I’m not sure what the
   job.php template would do to help what I am trying to do exactly.
 * Basically all I need it a way to output the job link in the Individual Job Template
   field. E.g [http://example.com/vacancies/graphic-design-finished-artist/](http://example.com/vacancies/graphic-design-finished-artist/)
 * Instead of using [job_link]…[/job_link] that wraps the text with a link I just
   need it to output the straight link :
    [http://example.com/vacancies/graphic-design-finished-artist/](http://example.com/vacancies/graphic-design-finished-artist/)
 * Any ideas?
 * Thanks again Pento!

 * The idea of using job.php is that you can then add the button you’re after, and
   it will appear on each job page. `the_permalink()` is the function that will 
   return the link to the current page, when used in a template.
 * Unfortunately, there isn’t a way of doing this in the Display Settings at the
   moment, I’ll look at adding it in version 0.8.

 * Hi Pento,
    I have added the job.php template but it seems it will only use job.
   php if there is no category template being used. So in order for the job page
   to be using the job.php template the category it’s in cannot use it’s category
   template anymore?
 * Is this correct? Is there a way for the category template to still be used by
   the category page as well as the job page to be using job.php?

 * This is correct behaviour, but I see the problem you’re facing.
 * I’ll include a new template in 0.7.1, `category-foo-job.php`, where `foo` is 
   the name of the category. This will override `category-foo.php`.
