Hi,
How does the users are managed in your plugin ?
I want to use yours with a plugin that manage users connection, is that possible ? If a candidate creates a resume does it creates a new wordpress user ?
Thanks.
Hi, each user (employer or candidate) is a normal WP user with some additional data. Every time user is registered via WPJB he is also registered in wp_users table using wp_insert_user() function.
Thank you that’s helpful !
Hi,
Is it possible to add a candidate without register a new user (set username and pw before create and add detail data)? For example if I’m an administrator of the jobboard and just want to list a new candidate.
Thanks.
Hi, i am afraid not, each Resume needs to be associated with an account.
So there’s no way to publish an anonymous candidate?
Can I export all candidates to a CSV file with my custom fields created in the registration form?
Thanks
Currently i am afraid not, this feature will be available in WPJB version 4.3.
Hi Greg,
When you’re going to release the version 4.3?
Thanks
