While the JobRoller Version 1.9.1 is only a minor release, there is one new feature that our AppTheme’s developers have been working on recently that we thought was worth sharing with our user base. To keep up to date with the way in which Google directs traffic, a markup to the job posting schema of structured data ensures all the Job Listings created on your JobRoller website are eligible to appear in the special experience Google Search Results. This special experience is currently only available in specific countries and regions, although for those listing jobs within eligible countries, the possibility of further traffic becomes a possibility with this new feature.
A new version of JobRoller, 1.9.0 is now available which allows users to implement the new AppMaps Plugins. Along with the ability to implement alternatives to Google Maps on a JobRoller website, users can also take advantage of the recently added currencies and improved help texts within the settings menu.
Any issues our users of JobRollerhave previously reported have also been addressed in this latest version. This includes a handful of typos and minor map issues. We appreciate the feedback we have received from our customers in terms of the JobRoller AppTheme and hope this latest version has addressed any mentioned issues.
JobRoller 1.7 is here with some fantastic updates! Here’s a taste of what’s in JobRoller 1.7.
Be sure to read the full post as there are important notes for those choosing to update to JobRoller 1.7.
Custom Forms
Those who already own Vantage, should already be familiar with this feature. It works like the normal Posts menu on WP backend, but to create custom forms. Each new form can have any custom field type and can be assigned to one or multiple categories.
Today we have a couple of video tutorials that were requested by longtime customer, tbase. These tutorials cover two of the most basic but powerful and useful features in JobRoller: job listings and resumes.
Create a Job ListingThis is what it’s all about, right? Allowing your site’s users the opportunity to post jobs to your website is the engine that generates content, traffic and more. And with the ability to charge for listings, it makes JobRoller a potential income producing tool for your website.
Today is a very exciting day! The brand new AppThemes Marketplace is officially open and ready for business. This online outlet of child themes and plugins is full of products meant to tap into the full potential of our already powerful application themes. Now’s your chance to blow away the barriers holding back your internet business. Get bigger features. Choose more designs. Make your site everything you always wanted it to be.
Dazzling Child Themes
Our application themes are made to look great and the default designs deliver attractive layouts. The only problem is that hundreds of other sites have exactly the same look. You want something unique but hiring a designer can be costly and beyond budget constraints. Well forget all that because the AppThemes Marketplace is chock full of child themes that will bring your site to life. Colorful and attractive, the latest designs and the hippest graphics are available to you. You’re site is going to look fantastic and stand out above the rest.
Click to read tutorialThe new AppThemes framework uses a file called wrapper.php. Wrapper provides a nice tidy place where the html, head, and body tags live. Since these tags are no longer in header.php or footer.php, it reduces the need to make repeated calls for get_header() and get_footer().
While it is more efficient, we need to warn you that the new wrapper file can break existing child themes. The good news is that you don’t have to do a lot to fix it. Dave Cowgill has created a tutorial introducing the AppThemes wrapper.php file. The more technically inclined might want to read Scribu’s post on wrappers.
It’s another week and another installment of our new feature: Tutorial Tuesdays. We are generating at least one tutorial a week, sometimes more. Along with new tutorials, we will highlight some archived tutorials that are worth another read. This week, we start with a little security tip.
About a month ago, we started an internal campaign to produce more tutorial content. Everyone at AppThemes is contributing to the effort. The result will not only include some great articles on how to use our themes but also some fantastic insights into WordPress from one of the best teams in the business.
To help get the word out, we’re introducing Tutorial Tuesdays to the blog. Tutorial Tuesdays will be run down of all instructional from the previous week. We will also highlight some important content from our archives and occasionally link to tutorials from other sites.
It’s been a very hectic couple of weeks, AppThemers. But we promised a Vantage release date this week, so this post will be brief. We will have more news on Monday.
Vantage 1.0 will be available on April 27.
JobRoller 1.6 will be available by the end of April.
Clipper 1.3 will be available on April 9.
Many more announcements and exciting developments coming soon. Stay tuned.
With all the buzz about Vantage these days, it might be hard to notice that we have been working diligently on our other themes as well. In fact, one of our New Year’s resolutions was to release a new update for ClassiPress, JobRoller and Clipper once per month. I’m happy to say, we haven’t faltered on that resolution yet.
We just released JobRoller 1.5.4 – that’s five updates in the last five months! We’ve made incredible progress with the theme in that time period. Our once sizable ticket list has just a handful of open issues. We feel that JobRoller is stronger and more stable than it’s ever been – and now it’s time to take it to the next level.
