anyone produced the code to create a search box in the jobs board template?

[archiseek]

if you go to modules > careers
and open careersui.php

at line 159 there is a subroutine if ($p == 'showAll')
after that at line 188 another subroutine else if ($p == 'search') which is empty

which is where a search could be inserted as it could be called by url as .php?m=careers&p=search

just having problems forming the form that will call a search correctly

[archiseek]

any ideas on this?

unfortunately I worked around this by using the Joomla module and integrated search into the 'normal' Joomla search - therefore if you search a OpenCATS Joomla site, it searches the jobs, too.

I have *NEVER* liked the idea of exposing your core application (OpenCATS) to the web... Far too many security risks! That's why I went the Joomla route - it abstracts the candidate access to your webserver, and then there's a secure link back to your OpenCATS server to poll / update job info.


The Joomla module has the added bonus in that it shows jobs by Job Type (Industrial/Technical/IT/Executive/etc etc) by default.

That said - is there anything I can do to help?
