Ooops, I forgot about the sticky jobs option when I wrote the sorting fix – I’ll fix up the sticky sorting in the next version.

That’s my favourite kind of bug – the one that goes away when I wish it to. 😉

The shortcode parser sometimes gets weirded out if there isn’t whitespace between shortcodes. Try doing that:

[if_job_field2] | Starting date: [job_field2] [/if_job_field2]

I forget that some people don’t have their server timezone set to GMT. I’ll think of a way to make this work regardless of server timezone.

This is how I originally had it working prior to 0.6 – the problem was that it required users to make another writeable directory. This caused significant problems, so I switched over to using the builtin Media system.

Currently, WordPress works by automatically allowing requests for files that exist. I think the best option would be to change this so it checks for permission before doing that. This will require extra database hits and a modification of .htaccess, so I think I’ll have to make it optional.

Nested categories is something I have on my list for version 0.9:

I agree, different feeds for each category would be helpful. I’ve created an issue for that one:

In order to fix this, you’ll need to increase the PHP memory limit. The easiest way to do this is to add the following line to your .htaccess file:

php_value memory_limit 128M

Alternative methods are to add this to your wp-config.php:

ini_set( 'memory_limit', '128M' );

Or this to your php.ini:

memory_limit = 128M

(This last one will need an Apache restart.)

If you are unable to do any of these, you will need to contact your host to increase your PHP memory limit for you.

The best option for this would be to add 2 new Job fields to contain the link to the other website, and the option to hide the standard Apply Now link. (The Job Manager templates don’t support ‘else’ syntax, hence why we need to the 2 new fields.)

• Go to Job Manager->Settings->Job Form Settings
• Create 2 new fields – a Text Input called ‘Custom Application Link’, and a Checkbox called ‘Standard Application Link’ with Data set to ‘Display’
• Now go to Display Settings, and add the following code to your template (assuming 6 is the custom link and 7 is the checkbox):

  [if_job_field6]
  <a href="[job_field6]">External Link</a>
  [/if_job_field6]
  [if_job_field7]
  [job_apply_link]Apply Now[/job_apply_link]
  [/if_job_field7]

• In your jobs, you will need to set the Custom Application Link to be the URL you want to send them to, or check the Display box to show the standard application link. (This is a bit ugly, but currently the only way possible – I’ll look at adding an [if_not...] tag in a later version.)
