How to define $applicant_name

    I am using the latest version of SJB. It’s a great tool. I’m having an issue with the reply email to the applicant. It is only displaying the user’s last name. “Hi Smith,” Instead of “Hi Tony Smith.”
    In looking at the php file for the email, everything references $applicant_name .
    This is also an issue for the Applicant page – each item in the list only shows the last name.
    I have only four fields in my application form and they are in this order:

    1. Last Name
    2. First Name
    3. Email
    4. Phone

    It appears to be picking up only the last name as $applicant_name. How can I add both fields (first and last) to define $applicant_name? I realize I will have to flip the last/first so the order will be correct.

    I would like to have the first and last name display in the email notifications and on the applicant board page.
    thanks,
    k

    Please change the order of name field. First, create “First Name” and then “Last Name”. You will get the first name in the email.

    If you want to get both names( First+Last ) in email notification then please use the following code to customize email notification template:

    $first_name = get_post_meta($post_id, 'jobapp_first_name', TRUE);
$last_name = get_post_meta($post_id, 'jobapp_last_name', TRUE);

    Thank you for using SJB and let us know if you need any further assistance.

    I made these changes and now, for some reason, I can’t get the form to work right. Every time I enter a phone number, it tells me it’s invalid. Or if I accidentally type in the wrong number and backspace, the field freezes.

    Since I can’t submit a form, I can’t see if my changes work!

    I did add recaptcha based on instructions in another post.

    Other times, I’ll do the recaptcha and then hit submit, get an error about the phone, try to fix the phone to the right number and I still get invalid number and now it is giving me invalid email

    And another issue that happens sometimes is I’ll resubmit everything in the correct format and now recaptcha says my answer is invalid.

    I’m not trained in PHP so I’m trying to figure this out as best as I can. Please give me detailed instructions on what to check and how to repair if needed. I still have the source files for the plug-in if I need to revert.

    I appreciate your help. This is a great little plug-in – especially for no cost! I would like to suggest a feature that allows you to add the resume to the reply email or at least a link to it on the server. My client runs a small business and she is out of the office and using her tablet frequently. So she isn’t able to always login to the WP dashboard.

    Thanks again!
