Behind The Scenes

Adobe AIR, General, Projects

Whew! This is the first time this year that I’m writing on this blog.

Time indeed flies when you’re having fun – (or not – let’s save that story for another day).

A rumble in the dark

Quite a lot has been happening on the Tandolin side – especially on the development of internal projects, which you can catchup with on the Tandolin Facebook Page.

Client projects are also steadily increasing, which means less time to toy with experimental projects like Adobe AIR 2.0 with Joomla. I’m not complaining though * grins *.

Now that the dust has settled on the Adobe AIR 2 architecture, I look forward to updating my AIR projects and weaving some real magic. Especially where Joomla 1.6 and K2 are concerned.

Giving back

Speaking of clients, I’ve had a number of inquiries from them regarding a good way to display and manage job vacancies on their websites.

I took a look at what’s available on the Joomla Extensions Directory and found a number of good recruitment extensions. I still came up short though in terms of ease of use and the way they address the problem domain. Too many of them are focussed on the recruitment agency model and don’t do enough to address the recruiting organisation’s woes (but they’re very good).

This is how the latest free software project from Tandolin came about.

I’m in the final stages of completing a free joomla extension for SME company job listings which should be out in a couple of days.

Here’s a couple of screenshots below for the Admin side. You can find more front-end screenshots here on the Tandolin Facebook Page.

Hi Figo,

Thanks so much! I was so exited to try your software but then couldn’t get to see a demo or anything else.

I’m glad you wrote back.

Hi Jaime,

The demo site is now up again

Jaime Nacach

Hi,

The demo site and download page are down (not working). There’s a MySQL connection error.

Would you be able to help me get the link to download your joomla job board.

thanks a lot

Hi Jaime,

Thanks for the notification. The database got blocked because of too many visitors and I’m currently working with my hosting provider to sort it out. It should be up again soon.

Hi Figo,

Hi Ray,

Definitely. I’m just delaying it a bit to get the Joomla side of things stable from all the feedback I’m getting

Hi Figo,
yes, I am still having problems, even on a hosted account. For example, if I display a position and wish to return to the list,

I get a 500 error with

“500 – Unknown controller/usr/local/pem/vhosts/106985/webspace/httpdocs/mysite/components/com_jobboard/controllers/1.php”

If I try to display the table view, I get a 500 error:

“500 – Unknown controller/usr/local/pem/vhosts/106985/webspace/httpdocs/aarecruit/components/com_jobboard/controllers/table.php”

I believe I have configured things properly, but perhaps not.

regards
Mike

Hi Mike,

Sorry for the late reply. I usually attend support requests on the forum first (http://demo.tandolin.co.za) and never get around to the ones posted elsewhere.

I think its better to look at the forum to see if someone had a similar problem.

Please post the question as well on there if you don’t find any prior good answers.

I’ll be investigating this in the meantime and get back to you

@Erwin, @Andy, sorry I forgot to revisit the comments on this post. The current release of Job Board includes easy to translate language files.
Some translations have already been made by others and contributed to the project. You can see them here (http://demo.tandolin.co.za/downloads/language-translations/category/5-job-board-component.html)

@Herbert, sorry I couldn’t understand what you were saying. Can you repeat it in English please?

@Yohanes, @Mike, Are you still experiencing these problems with the new release of Job Board?
Robert

Hi Figo,

I recently downloaded the job board version for joomla 1.6.
There was no dutch translation for it.
So I used the german 1.6 translation and the older dutch translation as templates and created a dutch version for joomla 1.6 out of it.
If you could tell me how to upload or send it to you for a review and maybe we could help a few people with it.

Regards,

Robert

@Robert, thank you for making the translations. I’ve just sent you an email with the details

Mike

Yes, I am having the exact same problems as Yohanes. I am also getting problems with undefined classes etc.

I noticed that Yohanes is using a localhost (D:\wamp\www), just as I am, so maybe that is pointing to some sort of problem.

Any ideas??

Hi Figo

Is there any news on the translation side of Jobboard i saw a tweet about dutch translation? that would be great very nice extension any way though..

http://www.tandolin.co.za Figo

Hi Erwin,

I’m working on the next release of the component which will include this. I can’t give you an exact timeframe for release but it will be soon

Andy

Hi all,
I need a jobboard for a customer, but I need it in German. Is there any Languages-files for this Jobboard.

http://www.tandolin.co.za Figo

Hi Andy,

Not yet. But I’m working on the next release which will include language translation features. I’m hoping to release it as soon as possible

Hi Marc,

Sorry to get back to you only now. The Job Board extension has just been released.

You can find the demo and download the extension at http://bit.ly/job_board

I just came across your Joomla Job Board extension via Google. Currently I am working on a site that requires a Job Board, and when I took a look at your screen shots it looked exactly like what I was looking for… a board for the company to post available positions without the “Recruiter” type bloat. Plus the screen shots looked nice and slick.

Anyway, I was wondering if you had released your extension yet. Thanks!
