Simple Job Board Templating

- Leave a comment
Do you want to change the structure of your Simple Job Board without any change in the core plugin?
Sounds good. Now, you can change the structure of your default job listing and job details page. Templating has been introduced in Simple Job Board since version 2.1.0.
With this new exciting feature, you can change the HTML structure of following files:
- job-listings-start.php
- job-listings-end.php
- job-application.php
- job-features.php
- job-filters.php
- content-job-listing-grid-view.php
- content-job-listing-list-view.php
- content-no-jobs-found.php
- content-single-job-listing-meta.php
- content-single-job-listing.php
- single-jobpost.php
- archive-jobpost.php
If you want to modify the layout of job detail and job listing pages, add “simple_job_board” folder at default theme root directory.
Now simply copy the above mentioned file from plugin simple-job-board > templates folder > simple_job_board and modify the HTML structure. Changes will be reflected on your website.
Enjoy your work with WordPress Job Board templating feature.
I like your plug-in, but I have 3 questions to make it more useful for our HR department.
1. Where can I change the translation of the application email
2. Can this email als have the filled application form fields
3. Can the application email also attach the application letter that is uploaded
Hope to hear from you soon!
Regards,
Dion
Hi Dion,
You can change the translation form simple-job-board/languages/simple-job-board-your_desired_language.po file. After editing translation file, you have to compile it by using Poedit ( Gettext Translations Editor ) software.
Currently, we are not attaching the application letter & form fields in email. We are just sending a generic acknowledgment email to Admin, HR & Applicant.
Thanks,

I need the ability to customize the contents of the emails sent.
How about making the translation files work like the template files? If I change source code of the .po files, those changes will be overwritten when I upgrade your plugin.
Hello Justin,
Here are the answers to your questions.
– For email notification content customization you can explore Simple Job Board core files, as a glimpse, you can explore the class-simple-job-board-notifications.php file placed in the following directory:
simple-job-board/includes
Also, hooks are available for email notification customization.
– For translation, you can provide us .po file with translated strings so we can update your translation on next SJB release.
You can also add strings with their translation at GlotPress.
GlotPress Team validates the translation, after validation, it will be updated on GlotPress and you can get translation via WordPress updates.
Thanks for reaching us out. Let us know if you need our further assistance.

This plugin is AMAZING. The only thing remaining to make it truly exceptional (and capture huge chunks of the market) is its ability to tie-in with the various ATS & social broadcasting.
For ATS, even being able to forward each job-post to a specific email address (rather than single address in ‘Settings’ and the inclusion of attached resumes in the email. BAM. I’d gladly pay a few bucks a month for that functionality.
Dear Cam,
We are ready to provide you services. Please contact us at support@presstigers.com with detailed requirements. We will further communicate from support ID.
Thank you for using SJB. Let us know if you need any further assistance.

Hi there
Love the plugin. Really struggling with this –
If you want to modify the layout of job detail and job listing pages, add “simple_job_board” folder at default theme root directory.
Now simply copy the above mentioned file from plugin simple-job-board > templates folder > simple_job_board and modify the HTML structure. Changes will be reflected on your website.
Enjoy your work with WordPress Job Board templating feature.
Is there a video that can help?
thanks
Hello Andy,
No video tutorial is available for templating usage.
Please follow the below listed instructions:
Also, go through the following link. It visually explains where to create “simple_job_board” directory structure. In this example scenario, the activated theme is “route” and we are modifying company name template. So, we are creating “simple_job_board” folder in “route” theme directory and copy the “company.php” file from “list-view”.

I would like to add the Job ID to the applicant’s post. I have multiple job openings with the same name but different IDs. How can I do this? I see in the job-application.php template this line:
<input type="hidden" name="job_id" value="” >
If I change ‘hidden’ to ‘text’ will that do it?
How can I expose the Job ID on the applicant details in WP admin? I’ve tried editing class-simple-job-board-applicants.php with many different variations, such as this one:
echo ‘Job ID‘ . get_post_meta($job_id) . ”;
Hello Fawn,
You can display the job id against each job by using SJB templating feature. Just place the job-application.php file in your activated theme’s directory by creating simple_job_board directory in it. Use function to display the job id anywhere you want. For more details please visit the CONFIGURATIONS & TEMPLATING on the plugin page.

Hey,
is there a way to add / show a widget on the job detail site? I’m working with divi theme and actual wp version… I tried the Plugin “Content Aware Sidebars” but no results…

Hello there,
This plugin is really great, but for some reason I can’t seem to change the background color on the job posts. Even under the settings->appearance tabs it isn’t changing it away from white. Is there something I can do to fix that?
Kind regards,
Jess
Hello Jessica,
It seems some of your installed plugins or theme’s script conflicting with the Simple Job Board. Please deactivate all the plugins except Simple Job Board and also activate any WP default Twenty theme and try to save the SJB settings.

Hey Guys,
thank you for this very helpful plugin!
Is there a possibility to change notification e-Mails to German language? And if so, how to do this?
Thank you!
Hello Mara,
For translation simply change the language from WordPress Dashboard. Settings -> General if SJB is available in your language. You can check available languages from plugin page.
If your language is not available for SJB. You can suggest translation on WP GlotPress platform. Following is the link where you can translate Simple Job Board in your language:
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/simple-job-board/
Please add translations against each string, once these translations will be approved by GlotPress team then it will be the part of SJB plugin.
Another Method:
In this method, you can add manual translations in SJB plugin. Please create a file named as simple-job-board-language_code.po in simple-job-board/languages directory and copy all string of simple-job-board.pot file to newly added file. Add translations against each string into your language. After completing translation task, compile it using POEDIT.
*language_code: Please find the language code ( WP Locale ) for your language from the following link.

Is it possible to update the posted date in the list view?
I changed the published date of a job and I see the correct date in the single job post page, but in the list view it keeps the old one…
Good day! At first I got a problem with the folder name, I created “simple-job-board” instead of “simple_job_board” in the root directory of theme. I would just like to know if it is possible change it to “simple-job-board” to avoid confusion because in the plugin folder it is named like that and from what directory could i change it?
Thank you so much.
Hi Megan,
Thank you for writing to us.
You can edit the template folder name by using SJB hooks. Please explore the following file under your plugins directory for more information:

Good day.
Tell me, when I add a new vacancy and add a picture in it, it does not appear when publishing a vacancy. Displays the standard picture that comes with the plugin. What could be the problem? maybe there is a limited size of the picture?
Hi Nikita,
Just to be clear, are you referring to feature image or the company logo? because if it is feature image then we do not add the feature image in SJB template.
Kindly share with us the job post in which you are facing the issue at: support@presstigers.com
Regards,
Hi, is there a way I can rename the required fields? (F.e. Full name -> Name etc…) I just need some minor changes and I cannot find the help anywhere. Thanks in advacnce.
Hi Karl,
If you have added the field globally then you can edit the fields globally and as well as in the job post editing view as well.

Hi,

Hello, Thanks for such a powerful plugin. I wanted to check if there is a possibility of:
1. Adding a title row on top of the jobs.
2. Display actual date of job posting rather than Posted 23 hours ago. I don’t know what code to insert in the file.
3. I tried inserting an html table for the title header. But i think i missed something and it is now coming with each job i created.
The page in reference is http://group-ucs.com/careers.html
Request really urgent help. Thank you will appreciate all your help.
Cheers,
Sumit

Hi
I’m using Simple Job Board plugin and it’s great, but I can’t make it show the short description field at grid view.
Any ideas of how can I solve that? I’ve already create the correct folder and copyied the files for custom templating.
Thanks!

I’ve selected the option “display job listing with company logo and detail” at plugin settings
And have this code

?>
Short Description:
*
* – Job Description
*/
get_simple_job_board_template(‘listing/grid-view/short-description.php’);
?>
So description is there but is not appearing

Hi I don’t seem to be getting the email attachment when submitting an application through the plugin. am i missing something?
Hi Romaine,
If you’ve purchased the Email Attachment Add-on and still not getting emails then we would recommend that you install any SMTP plugin. However, if you haven’t purchase the add-on then you would have to manually review the resume’s & details from your Admin dashboard.

Hi there, is it possible to remove the mandatory requirement for attach resume, please?

hello,
i want to overwride some template files (for example the posted-date.php and job-application.php ).
i tried the way which is described in the beginning of this page (create simple-job-board directory in my theme map) but this doesn’t seem to work anymore. is there still a way that i can override these files without changing the plugin files? (ofcourse i still want to be able to update)
thanks.
Hello,
Is there any way to customize the number of columns on the grid view on the shortcode?
I have this [jobpost layout=grid posts=6] I want to able to add here number of columns.
Also, any tips on how to optimize responsive design?
Great plug-in and thanks for the support.
Hello Jean,
post=”6″ is not the number of columns of the grid view. It is used for pagination with 6 posts per page.
For changing the default layout of the grid you need to customize the following layout.
simple-job-board/templates/v1 or v2/listing/content-job-listing-grid-view.php
v1 is for classic layout and v2 is for modern layout please select v1 or v2 according to your settings configuration.
We recommend please take help from a programmer to modify it for you. You can also avail of our services at cost $24/hour.
Please do not change the plugin core files directly instead use the SJB templating feature. For templating, please visit the plugin page and see templating & configuration section.
Thank you for writing to us. Let us know if we can assist you further.
