There is no “role” or “capabilities” management in job manager that I have been able to find.

Last year I made a comment in this post, explaining how to give other roles access to portions of Job Manager.

User Permissions Work-a-Round

Hope that might help until/if this ever gets updated.

I was really surprised to read the negative comments about the Tribulant Newsletter plugin. Any Google searches with “tribulant newsletter plugin review” yields positive reviews from 2009 to present I hadn’t found one that was on a list of “don’t buys” right off the bat.

I’ve had nothing but success with them. I have the software installed on several sites, several themes, with 0 issues.

I’ve contacted support a few times (wait time was a bit long) but everything was always resolved. I’ve even suggested several feature changes to them in the past and each one of those were implemented into updates.

Sorry to hear about your troubles menathor. ??

It was neat to see the alternative mailing list option links. I might have to look into the WYSIJA plugin at some point.

@rilwis

That did the trick. What a simple fix that I can’t believe I didn’t test, herp derp. ??

Anyone know why this might not be working correctly?

Thanks noponies for the tip. If I try to use the print_r($wp_meta_boxes) code snippet inside my change_meta_box_titles function (shown in first post), it displays the custom post type but not the custom meta box details.

In order to show the custom meta box details I had to place the print_r($wp_meta_boxes) snippet inside my function to create my meta boxes, once posted there it displays custom post type and custom meta box info.

With the print_r($wp_meta_boxes) snippet now inside my create meta boxes function it displays the following (I left out the portions not related to the custom meta box):

[portfolio] => Array
        (
            [side] => Array
                (
                    [high] => Array
                        (
                            [cc_projectinfo_meta] => Array
                                (
                                    [id] => cc_projectinfo_meta
                                    [title] => Project Info
                                    [callback] => cc_show_projectinfo_meta_box
                                    [args] =>
                                )
                        )
                )

The above shows that I should be able to use the following code inside my change_meta_box_titles function to change the title of the custom meta box:

$wp_meta_boxes['portfolio']['side']['high']['cc_projectinfo_meta']['title']= 'A New Title';

However, it doesn’t work. The custom meta box title doesn’t change. Yet now if I use the print_r($wp_meta_boxes) snippet inside the change_meta_box_titles function it displays the following:

[portfolio] => Array
        (
            [side] => Array
                (
                  [high] => Array
                        (
                            [cc_projectinfo_meta] => Array
                                (
                                    [title] => New Title
                                )
                       )
               )

I’m not sure why this isn’t working correctly. Did I miss something? Can anyone offer any further insight here?

Hi Eric,

Sorry this took so long for me to get back to you. I’ve been a busy bee.

No, WP_DEBUG is not enabled on any of the client sites.

Sorry for the 3 posts in a row but it appears that this is conflicting with other plugins, the sites I had issues with are running the wp-ecommerce and the ndizi plugin.

I followed the instructions:

You can check for errors in the data file by going to https://yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/client-status/data.php?security_key=your_security_key_as_md5_hash

and it pulled back the message from my one site of:

<b>Warning</b>:  session_start() [<a href='function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /wp-content/plugins/client-status/data.php:2) in <b>/wp-content/plugins/wp-e-commerce/wpsc-core/wpsc-constants.php</b> on line <b>17</b><br />
^

and on a “test” site i run to try out different plugins it pulls:

<b>Warning</b>:  session_start() [<a href='function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /lab/wp-content/plugins/client-status/data.php:2) in <b>/lab/wp-content/plugins/ndizi-project-management/Ndizi.class.php</b> on line <b>96</b><br />
^

I use wp-ecommerce on several sites. Is there a way to get this plugin to work where it’s not conflicting?

I also get different errors on the dashboard page if that’s helpful:

Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: Entity: line 3: parser error : Extra content at the end of the document in /wp-content/plugins/client-status/dashboard.php on line 79

Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: <b>Warning</b>: session_start() [<a href='function.session-start'>function.sess in /wp-content/plugins/client-status/dashboard.php on line 79

Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: ^ in /wp-content/plugins/client-status/dashboard.php on line 79

I’m getting this as well when trying to add some clients. Not sure why, the url’s should be correct. I have a few sites on my hosting account and it only works for 1 of them. Otherwise I get:

Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: Entity: line 3: parser error : Extra content at the end of the document in /wp-content/plugins/client-status/client-status.php on line 152

Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: <b>Warning</b>: session_start() [<a href='function.session-start'>function.sess in /wp-content/plugins/client-status/client-status.php on line 152

Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: ^ in /wp-content/plugins/client-status/client-status.php on line 152

Warning: First parameter must either be an object or the name of an existing class in /wp-content/plugins/client-status/client-status.php on line 169

I’m highly interested in this plugin, however, proper DB structure (aka searchable etc) is important.

I didn’t want to go about the process of making these improvements to my own install of this (fresh install) if it’s already being worked on. Have you yourself made any progress on this Steven?

How about you njkrut?

Alrighty. Thanks Lester!

So I’ll just have to remember if I’m doing a backup to manually replace the tables with the sql file.

Hi Icer,

I’m not sure if you figured this out yet, so I thought I’d respond.

If, like you say you are only using your WP install for this plugin, you can make your jobs page your “index or home” page. It should give you the desired result.

To do this you would:

1)Log in to your WP admin
2)Click the “Settings” option in the left side panel
3)Click “Reading” from the list of options it will display
4)There will now be a section “Front page displays” you want to select the “A static page” radio button and in the first drop down, select your page that Job Manager is displaying on.
5)Save Changes

That should do it. ??

Update (won’t let me edit my last post anymore): I forgot to post that before step 6 I went into my Administrator Role and also gave that access to the new ‘jobmanager’ capability.

I posted this in another topic but thought I’d pop it in here as well. This seems to be an option that multiple people seem to be needing so to have it sooner rather than later would be more beneficial.

Anyway that being said, I didn’t think I would time to take a peak at this as I said above but I did, after briefly skimming the code in the Job Manager admin.php (between lines 22 and 35) The menu is being referenced by the ‘publish_posts’ capability. This was mentioned in another post by spacechampion and isn’t very ideal.

So this was what I did (THIS IS NOT 100% tested but appears to be working for my setup so far (change at your own risk) (using wordpress 3.0.x):

1)I have a Role and Capabilities plugin installed (https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/members/)

2)I added a new Role (i.e. JM Admin) and then I added a custom capability (i.e. jobmanager). I then selected this role to be able to have the capability to read_private_pages and saved (you could possibly also assign this new capability to existing Roles (i.e. Subscriber for registered users).

*If you do not allow the Role to have the read_private_pages capability then the menu items for Applications, Emails, Interviews will not function properly (none of their options display). BE WARNED THAT THIS ROLE WILL LIKELY BE ABLE TO SEE ANYTHING ELSE THAT ALSO USES THE READ_PRIVATE_PAGES CAPABILITY SO ONLY ADD USERS TO THIS ROLE THAT YOU WOULD TRUST TO HAVE ACCESS.

*Optionally the manage_options capability will allow this role to have access to change the Job Manager settings, if you want this new Role to have access to Job Manager Settings then allow it to access manage_options. If you don’t choose to add this to your new role when the user of that role clicks that option they will get a message that says they do not have the permissions to access those options. BE WARNED THAT IF YOU DO ALLOW THIS ROLE TO USE MANAGE_OPTIONS THAT IT MIGHT GRANT ACCESS TO OTHER PLUGIN SETTINGS/OPTIONS THAT YOU MAY NOT WANT USERS OF THIS NEW ROLE TO ACCESS.

3)I assigned a test user to this new Role.

4)As said above, I opened admin.php found in the Job Manager plugin folder and between lines 22 – 35 where it says ‘publish_posts’ I replaced with ‘jobmanager’; that was the capability I set up earlier (the specific lines for me were, 27, 29 & 30).

5)I went into my Administrator Role and also gave that access to the new ‘jobmanager’ capability.

6)I logged out of my admin account, logged into my test user account and viola, Job Manager menu and functions were there.

*This is a temporary fix that I used (not 100% tested yet) until Gary is able to implement a better set of capability settings. If this plugin is auto-updated as new versions come out the settings you change in the admin.php will most likely get overwritten.

*Backup your Job Manager admin.php before making any changes.

Hope that might help some people.
