Hi,
I was looking to create extra fields in the Application section besides just the Cover Letter and upload resume option. Currently the only way to add extra fields is to manually edit the module itself? Is there any plans in the future of adding the ability to have custom CCK fields (like to add Phone #, city, etc and have them fill out an application online without having to upload a PDF/Word Doc)?
Also, I am using WYSYWIG module with TinyMCE and was hoping to get the Cover Letter text field the option to use TinyMCE's tools. What would I need to do to fix the text field so it is recognized by TinyMCE (which is set to work with any text field)? I believe it's in the following code, but I'm not sharp enough with PHP/Drupal API to solve it on my own:
$form['job_posting_coverletter'] = array(
'#type' => 'textarea',
'#title' => t('Cover letter'),
'#default_value' => t('@coverletter', array(
'@coverletter' => $form_values['job_posting_coverletter'])),
'#required' => FALSE,
'#description' => t('Enter your introductory covering letter.'),
);
Thank you in advance, great module!

I have no definite plans to do this with the module, mainly because I don't have the time right now to work on it.
With regards to WYSIWIG, try the development snapshot for 5.x as I believe this was fixed in October just not rolled into an official release yet. Please consider filing a bug report if the WYSIWIG is still not functional in the development snapshot.

I gave it a shot and no dice. I added a comment to the bug report that was already opened for 6.x (though, I am using 5.x). Any suggestions for how to add extra text fields? I'm not a pro with the Drupal API but I can sort of stumble my way through it if I get some direction. Thanks again!

I think you would need to enable Resume Module and use CCK Groups and Fields. Create an Application (or Resume) Content Type. Then define and add fields using CCK and use the Manage Fields and Display Fields tabs.
