Calendar pop-up link position / not showing in Joomla

Posted on by
Reply

I Had an issue in IE7, IE8, IE9, IE10 when I click on the calendar icon the calendar does not appear. I then scrolled to the top of the page and there it was.

So the issue in Joomla to view the pop-up calendar when you click on the icon is to edit  media/system/js/calendar.js file

Replace:

if(Calendar.is_ie){br.y+=document.body.scrollTop;br.x+=document.body.scrollLeft;}else{br.y+=window.scrollY;br.x+=window.scrollX;}

with:

if(Calendar.is_ie){br.y+=document.body.document.documentElement.scrollTop;br.x+=document.body.document.documentElement.scrollLeft;}

Now my calendar icon links work in IE7, IE8, IE9 and IE10

Joombah jobsboard joomfish translation

Posted on by

Hi

I have a dual language site using Joomfish. I wanted to translate the fields that are kept in the back end. I presume it will work for any of these fields that are stored in the backend / database.

In my case for example I wanted to translate “Position Type”

In order to do this I created an XML file (jgbobs_pos_type.xml) in: \administrator\components\com_joomfish\contentelements

The code inside the xml file is as follows:

Save it as: jbjobs_pos_type.xml

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<joomfish type="contentelement">
<name>JoomBah Jobs Position Type</name>
<author>JoomBah Team</author>
<version>1.0</version>
<description>Definition for JoomBah Jobs description</description>
<copyright>JoomBah.com(C) 2010 - 2011, All rights reserved.</copyright>
<reference type="content">
<table name="jbjobs_pos_type">
<field type="referenceid" name="id" translate="0">ID</field>
<field type="titletext" name="pos_type"  length="50" maxlength="100" translate="1">Position Type</field>
</table>
</reference>
</joomfish>

All you have to be concerned with from the above example is:

1. The table name you are trying to translate:
<table name=”[b]jbjobs_pos_type[/b]“>

2. The field name in the table you want to translate <field type=”titletext” [b]name=”pos_type”[/b]  length=”50″ maxlength=”100″ translate=”1″>Position Type</field>

Save / upload the file as I mentioned above.

Now. If you go to Joomfish > Translate > And choose the drop down on the right “Content Elements” you will see “JoomBah Jobs Position Type”.

Select it and make the translation and you are done.

Don’t make the mistake which I made and go to front end and think the text would have changed…You have to go to the job and edit it in your language. You will see that the field options have changed.

You can do this for all the variations

The Joombah team might have a better solution, but this worked for me.

Hope this helps.

Joombah: Set salary to accept more characters and text

Posted on by

In Joombah you can set the salary for a job to say:

Salary: 1000,00 per month

I needed to say:

Salary: 1000,00-2000,00 per month

This is how I did it:

1. I changed components/com_jbjobs/views/employer/tmpl/editjob.php from:

<input class="inputbox required" type="text" name="salary" id="salary" size="10" maxlength="10" value="row->salary; ?>" />

to:

<input class="inputbox required" type="text" name="salary" id="salary" size="15" maxlength="30" value="row->salary; ?>" />

2. I then changed the database field jos_jbjobs_job from “float” to “varchar”

This will allow you to add more caracters in the approximate salarey field and save it into the databse.

You now need to show the results on the guest jobs page.

Go to > components/com_jbjobs/views/guest/tmpl/detailjob.php

And replace:

$salary = $job->currency_salary.' '.number_format($job->salary,2,'.',',').' / '.$job->type_salary;

with:

$salary = $job->currency_salary.' '.$job->salary.' / '.$job->type_salary;

Save and upload.

Result =

Joombah: Allow the employer to set the expiry date from the front end?

Go to Joomla Backend > Components > Joombah > Dashboard > Global Configuration > Components Settings > Set “Free Mode” > NO > Save

Go to Membership plans (Left menu) > Un-publish all the plans except the “Free Membership” > Click on “Free Membership” > Set “Duration” (10 Years) > Bonus Credits:0 > Credits per job:0 > Credits per Featured job:0 > Credits per Resume view:0 > Price of 1 Credit:0 > Job expires (Max. days):365 > Credit expire after grace period? NO > Save

Now, when you create a job as an employer when you save the job you will be directed to a new page where you can set the start and end date.
