This is an updated that has been wanted by many people, and I've finally taken the time to get it released. Jobline should now work properly even with Mambo 4.5.1.
Changes
This version also includes a couple of bugfixes and a few small extra features. They are:
- Job Status field added
- US State dropdown is not shown by default.
- French translation added, sent in by Jean-Christophe Boussion.
- Cred Card expiration date is now saved properly.
- When listing only internships, all items are described as Internships instead of Job Postings.
Read on for upgrade instructions.
Upgrade Instructions
Steps required to upgrade to a new version of jobline:
- Backup your database, at the very least the mos_jl_jobposting table. Can be done via Mambo administrator / System / Database / Backup or via phpMyAdmin.
- Note your configuration options, or make a copy of the file components/com_jobline/configuration.php
- Uninstall the Jobline component via Mambo administrator -> Components -> Install/Uninstall.
- Install the new zip for Jobline via Mambo administrator -> Components -> Install/Uninstall.
- Restore your backup of the mos_jl_jobposting table, possibly using Mambo administrator -> System -> Restore. The script phpMyAdmin can also be used for this.
- Change back your configuration options, or restore the copy of the file.
Manual installation
It is also possible to upgrade without uninstalling the component, below is a description on how to do this from different versions. If you have followed the above steps you don't need to do this.
From 1.0 / 1.0.1 to 1.0.2
- Copy the files in the zip into the correct places (as shown in the jobline.xml file).
- Run the following queries in phpMyAdmin:
ALTER TABLE `mos_jl_jobposting`
ADD `jobstatus` tinyint(3) NOT NULL default '1';
ALTER TABLE `mos_jl_jobposting`
CHANGE COLUMN `creditcardexpyear`
`creditcardexpyear` int(11) unsigned
NOT NULL default '0';
N.B.: If you have changed the database prefix in Mambo, you must substitute "mos_" in both queries with your chosen database prefix.
