TROUBLE SHOOTING
> Keywords do not return any results?
Try your keyword on simplyhired.com first, before putting them in the job board
Notice: There are three result styles which can be switched on the form above.
> Page times out / does not fetch any results?
Your server must be able to make external connections to api.simplyhired.com
through port 80 (HTTP). This means that fsockopen must be enabled on
your host, and must be allowed to make external connections.
- I see warning/errors messages saying that 'argument 2' is missing.
This has been reported and can be fixed if you open the include/lists.inc.php
file and locate the following code:
JBPLUG_do_callback('job_list_data_val', $val, $template_tag);
and change to:
JBPLUG_do_callback('job_list_data_val', $val, $template_tag, $a);
> Can I make the links open in a new window?
Indeed rules are that in order to record the click, it must use their
event to call their javascript, and the javascripts
prevents the link from opening in a new window.
> It still does not work
Please check the requirements - requires Jamit Job Board 3.5.0 or higher
