hi there,

i'm using your module for a site i'm doing but as my php skills aren't spectacular i'm unsure how to get round a little problem I have.

What I need is another reference number (alongside JOB1 etc) that is recognisable to the recruitment company, it must be required and be displayed on the node and block views and be sent out in the subject line when someone applies for the job.

i've copied the email address code and altered it so I have the textfield for the unique reference number that is now displayed between the title and email address fields in the required section at the top, but i cant work out how to get this new field to display on the node and block views and be sent out in the email

any help would be greatly appreciated

many thanks
Andrew

From your description it seems like you've added the new field to the form but you're not saving it anywhere. IOW you need the new field data you've added to *persist* across requests. The obvious method is to change the schema of the job_posting table (in job_posting.install) to accommodate your new reference id and then make the appropriate changes to the block, node and mail-related functions that populate the node.
Alternatively, I'd consider simply customizing the current reference number since that might be less work. In case you didn't know it, you can change the 'JOB' prefix to whatever you want via the admin settings page...
