Anonymous Users to Submit an Application

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and particular business case. I have no immediate plans to introduce this feature, though that doesn't mean it won't happen at some point. If you'd like to talk about job_posting module customizations for your website I encourage you to contact me directly and we can discuss further.

How can Anonymous Users can submit application without login?

I'd like to echo the request by 8tropos.

I've used the job_posting module for a few small business sites and it is excellent. However, the lack of an option to allow anonymous posting is a serious drawback. Most small businesses that I've worked with do not want the complexity of adding user log in to their small 4-5 page sites.

It would be wonderful to see an extra permission set for submitting applications. This would allow site administrators to create or select roles that can submit jobs. This would also allow the 'Anonymous' role to be selected.

CAPTCHA could be integrated as a way to reduce spam. I do not see this addition as a requirement, though. For instance, the core 'Contact Form' module allows for anonymous submit (not by default) and does not require CAPTCHA.

I do not think that anonymous applications should be enabled by default, but I see no reason not to make it an option for those who have a business case for it.

Please let us know if we can help you with this feature.

Non-Drupal paid work is soaking up most of my time and attention these days. What's left goes to my family. I've already sunk considerable non-compensated labour into this module and have readily 'donated' the code under the terms of the GPL.
As maintainer I'll readily fix serious bugs and/or security issues with this module for free but to go beyond that I'd require sufficient material incentives. Anything else would be unfair to those who already pay me to work on their business requirements.

So if I want this feature in my site what I need to do...please advise..how to go further...

If you like, contact me directly through my user profile and we can discuss this further.

I've attached an update for job_posting.module. This file makes a few changes to version 6.x-1.10. You'll want to run a diff to see what those changes are.

This is basically a hack for those that just want a basic job posting module that can be submitted anonymously or by authenticated users. If you choose to use this update, you cannot switch the feature on or off - (more substantial changes would be needed to create an interface for this feature). If you choose to use this update, please consider manually integrating a CAPTCHA style tool to reduce spam. And you will need to merge the changes with future versions or just stick with 6.x-1.10.

Many, many thanks to gmarus for all of his work on this module. For those who'd like to see a more robust implementation of anonymous posting, please consider contracting gmarus or providing some code contributions.

Just wanted to say excellent, thank you thememex, saved me alot of work. :)

I have replace the code in job_posting.module.txt into my Job-Post.module file and if does in fact look right. It shows "Submit an application" but when I click on the link as a anonymous user it does nothing and takes you back to my home page.

I have "edit own job posting" and "edit job posting" set for the permission on job_posting module.

Any suggestion to help me get this resolved?

I love this modual and hope its around for D7.

Answered this myself.

I've tried to use this version up above (Posted by thememex on April 14, 2009 at 11:39pm ) and if I am not logged in, it tells me that I do not have permissions to view the resulting page to submit my application. I tried setting all three permissions (Create Job Posting, Edit Job Posting, and Edit Own Job Posting) for this module to allow Anonymous access, and it still didn't work.

Update: Use the attached file for Job_Posting 6.x-1.11.

As I stated in my post, the file I uploaded was for job_posting-6.x-1.10. Since my post, the module has been upgraded to 6.x-1.11 and so the original file won't be compatible. Use the attached file with 6.x-1.11 only.

* If job_posting goes to version 6.x-1.12, please remember that my post here will only work for version 6.x-1.11.

@johnvon and @KentT, you'll need to use the updated file to match the version you've downloaded.

@KentT: If you do a fresh install of job_posting-6.x-1.11 and replace job_posting.module, you must also enable the Upload module from core.

* If you don't have the core "upload" module enabled, anonymous users will get "permission denied" when trying to submit an application.

Here's a demo site:
http://jobposting.civicpath.com/

Installation instructions:
1) Bare install of Drupal 6.
2) Enable the core 'upload' module
3) Enable 'job_posting-6.x-1.11'
4) Replace job_posting.module file with the attached version
5) That's it... you may want to add CAPTCHA to cut down on spam.
