On April 22nd, 2013, JobRoller 1.7 was released. This is a major release. Fixed 46 tickets total. A breakdown of tickets can be found below.
What’s New?
The new AppThemes Payments API and Custom Forms are the biggest additions for this release. The Payments API is a full featured framework that can be extended with new gateways and options like, coupons. It also consolidates all the pricing data and options on it’s own admin menu and adds a new payment option: bank transfer.
Custom Forms, allow site owners to create any number of custom fields (input, option, checkbox, etc) for each job category, to be displayed for employers on the job submit form. Any values inserted will then be available on the single job page, including file downloads.
Please read the changelog for the full feature list.
Notes:
Automatic recurring payments for resumes subscriptions are only available for PayPal Business accounts (PayPal IPN must be enabled). If you don’t have a business account, subscriptions will default to manual one-off payments, and can be purchased with any gateway.
Update Your Plugins
Users with AppThemes job feeds plugins (‘LinkedIn Publisher’, ‘Simply-Hired Publisher’, ‘Careerjet Publisher’) and ‘AppThemes Coupons’ should update to the latest version to guarantee full compatibility with JobRoller 1.7. The same applies to other plugins you may have purchased from the marketplace. If you find any problem with a (previously working) plugin on the latest JobRoller version, look for an updated version on the marketplace or contact the plugin author.
Upgrade Information
Now you can automatically upgrade directly from your WordPress admin. Under “Appearance” => “Themes”, you’ll see an upgrade link next to JobRoller. If you don’t, check back later. The AppThemes upgrade check API runs twice a day. It’s important to note that using this auto updater will overwrite any custom coding done to the theme. Customers who have made theme code changes will need to manually upgrade instead.
If you prefer the old fashion way or have made core theme modifications (which is not recommended), visit AppThemes to download the full version.
