I just do not understand why this potentiall fantastic bit of kit has not been developed properly from the beginning.

The countless hours that even PHP savvy people have to input on this just to get the fields in some kind of understandable order is beyond me.

The package looks great in theory and yes it does work, installs no problem and all fields worked for me BUT I simply cannot use it because I am UK based and I only need half the fields but cannot get rid of the other fields because there are no 'user friendly' options to allow this without PHP knowledge.

It is so frustrating to find something that looks great but then after 3 days of solid working on it and using forums the basic structure of the design cannot be utilised because the designer decided he knows best when it comes to people placing job adverts.

If this worked I would happily pay for it , as it is I give up trying to 'play with it' and I bet many many people have a big headache just like me from trying to edit something that should already be standard, and thats the entry fields. Nice product but a Crazy design that literally stops people in there tracks from using it effectively.

This is a good component. Unfortunately still not joomla 1.5.x compatible. The template (tables) and the features also need some improvements.

Further is the installation simple, the joblist works great, the view latest jobs module is also a nice addition.

A module with lot's of potential but a lot of work still has to be done. Can't wait till version 1.2, hope it will be released soon.

Recently installed Jobline. Works great. Looking forward to additional functions such as edit and deleting of jobs bij posting user.

I've only been using Joomla for a few days and found this extension to be very easy to use. If I better understood coding I probably could modify some of the fields to suit my needs a bit better (e.g. I'm not quite sure what the reference field is for and wouldn't mind if it disappeared as well as some of the other fields in the add-job process). As another reviewer recommended, the ability to have front-end users be able to delete and edit jobs would be superb! Not having this is going to make administering this a little tricky, but I've got a month or so to work on it before the site that's using this extension will be live.

This is really great work, thanks for sharing. I'll definitely donate.

It works very well. The most important thing i miss and still want is that users can edit or delete vacant jobs.

Perlfan : is it possible to ditribute the plugin you made with CB ?

However, it's hard to customize to a desired layout. For example, I would like to replace the "Company" column with "City" and "State" columns since my users want to see the city/state location first, then click to see the complete posting and learn the company.

Enabling front-end editing/deleting for the users who posted the jobs would be very nice, although I recognize the complexity that could create.

This is probably the best job posting component out there. However, the support is hard to get since the developer site has been down for quite some time.

Im also looking for the front end edit and delete for users, and i cant find the developers edition on the joomlacode repository.

Thank you for publishing jobline. It has helped me to build a job center on my website.

I programmed the two very important - unfortunately missing - features myself (runs with community builder):
1. users can edit their jobs
2. users can delete their jobs

I integrated Jobline into Acajoom as well, so users can sign up for automatic job mailings.
If you are interested in the features, let me know.

I'm curious what future updates will offer!

Thanks again, Frank

The product install simply and easily - always something you want!

There were a couple of issues I had (turned out to be local and nothing to do with this software). After emailing Olle, he replied back to me within half and hour on 3 separate occasions, which was greatly appreciated.

The software is simple and easy to use and the ability to re-style the pages could not have been made easier for anyone who knows HTML and CSS.

Whilst the software may not have categories etc., it's simplicity makes it a strength in my mind.

Good work Olle!

Very good extentsion however i would strongly suggest a few things for a module like this. Allow users to upload a doc file and their CV and also make customising the pages a lot easier rather than hard coding.

Also the ability to add an image to the template not new job postings but the actuall default template if thats possible at all.

But all in all i would give this module a 7/10!

Product is good. I installed it for our HR department so I don't use it. What I can comment on is the support...Olle held my hand when this thing broke (my fault, not his script) and got me fixed up in no time!

So far the best job component for joomla.

First of all, it does what it says (or at least most of them).

I have tried this component and worked very well for me so far.

When the user "Applies for a Job", where does the application goes?

Is there a place for me to retrieve the application and process it?

And also, is there a possibility to upload CV (as a document)?

Appreciate any help on it. :)

Best out-of-the box job site program I have seen. Simple yet complete. Nice work!

Nice little component, perfectly suited to a small company wanting to post their own vacancies, I agree however that ecaptha would be a useful addition

nether the less a great addition to joomla thank you!

I find this componet to be very good. I agree that there could be categories for job types but I can overlook that for my needs. I am also having problems with the extra fields that I would like to get sorted out.

Well start with the cudo's for what this program does. First it provides a simple way to display a lot of stuff for someone to scan through and choose what they want to respond to. Second, the ability to not have to register to place an ad means that you do not have to tie up your login that is already designated to the Sobi database since it does not have it's own login. So feasibly you can have things available and in say Sobi database which requires the joomla login to list and then have this program (Jobline) for those posting requests for things that are not found in the database. And not have them create an account. So you could use it for more than posting jobs, could use it for people requesting products etc.

The downside now. No rss capability, and mainly that that when you get it installed on joomla, you do not see it on your page and no where to turn it on. If it is actually on. Where is it? And of course no support anywhere...NADA

I have found this to be a great free component. It is a little narrow in it's job classifications but since it is very well written I found it easy to edit a few files to make it suit my purposes. It's only shortcomings are a missing title bar tag, searchability from the Joomla search component and logging. I will take a look at modifying to include these when I have time and I am not a PHP genius by any means but as I said the code is VERY sell laid out. I would encourage the author to keep up the good work on this as it has been over 200 days since it was last updated.

Thanks for the product. It's in many ways superior to the commercial stuff out there.

Product does not work "out of the box" and requires code hacking. It installed fine, backend administrator allows you to add job classified ads, but nothing shows up on the front end. We kept getting fatal error messages every time my users tried to view a job posting.

I made numerous attempts to seek tech support from the developer via email and forum, but got no help. Was unable to even register at the JX Development website because of a system glitch at their site. Very frustrating.

It appears that this Jobline project is dead, it hasn't been updated in a long time, and the developer no longer provides support. I even offered to make a hefty donation (pay money for support) but received no response.

It works as it says!

Thank you!
