Well that is good to know.

BTW, you have your job listings hidden and requires you to click that down arrow to reveal the list. Is there a reason why you would want to do that?

Now I feel like a complete dweeb! I could not see it for some reason. Anyhoot, I am using a the Google Syntax Highlighter now, and it appears to all be there. Just got to run through my other posts and make sure they are all okay too. Thanks again.

Indeed some of your code is missing here, but only in the browser. The text inside the pre tag is not displaying but is there in the source code.

Nevermind, Please disregard. I am using the CKeditor plugin with wordpress and it was automatically enclosing the shortcode in paragraph tags which caused it not to work. I fixed it and now it works. Thanks anyway and GREAT PLUGIN!!

I did not notice the bug on the State drop down. I will check into that.

First, you have to understand that this plugin is still in development. I am adding to it as quick as I can.

The API is not going to match what Job-a-matic has, and thus, neither will the plugin. The API was designed to give publishers more control over the results that are displayed. As such, I designed the plugin with fine-tuning of niches without having to jump through too many hoops. This is where the ONET code comes in.

Job postings, I do not know yet. Have not received a job posting to test that with yet. I will cross that bridge when I come to it, or somebody else comes to it.

Job categories are easy. Look at my job page here. I created different pages for each. In a future update, I will make it easier to list and define the categories.

You are still going to have to link to Job-a-matic for job posting. The results are linked to SimplyHired (new tab). Can’t really get around that right now, but I am working on some alternatives. ;0)

Tried it, but it does not match. Besides, I set my jobamatic site to only pull in 100 jobs from backfill, but on my blog, it’s pulling hundreds. How can i limit it to only display what I have on jobamatic?

Then, if a job is posted on my jobamatic site, will this plugin display it on my blog? Currently, there is no job posted, but in the event that this happens, I’d like it to display on my blog.

Lastly, how can I display job categories, and not just the states to limit the search to when I select a state from the pull down list, i get the XML error. so it seems when it doe snot find anything, instead of saying “no jobs found”, it displays the XML error. Is this on purpose?

I’d have to find a way to do everything on the blog, rather than a link back to jobamatic…because I do all the work on the blog.

Try this query:

startup+AND+developer+AND+software+AND+engineer

Currently I only have the button in the widget. If it is desirable to have this with the job listings, that would be possible. In the meantime you can add the button to your page along with the content that you added above the listings. There is not much to the link, it just goes to your Job-a-matic page.

Ok, I did that, and it works now. But how can I make the results to match what i have on my jobamatic site? I am using these key words both on my jobamatic site and my blog:

startup developer software engineer

Also, is there a way to have the “post a job” on my blog, without using the widget? I’d like to use my blog as the primary place for job listing, and not my jobamatic site. you can see it now at decodedpathways.com/startupgigs
