This following refers to the file "job_posting.module" and I'm trying to change the fields displayed on the job listing page.

Within the function job_posting_list_nodes() for each database record retrieved info is added to the $listings variable.

I understand this is done by node_view() as shown in the code below. 


 while ($item = db_fetch_object($result)) {

      $listings .= node_view(node_load($item->nid), TRUE);

    }

</pre>

However, I'm trying to work out how to change the fields returned?  I believe node_load($item->nid)  gets all fields for the given node ID.  But how do you change the fields returned by node_view?


For example, what makes the "Employer name" be displayed on the listing but not the "URL" or "Contact"?


Further, I can get the teaser to appear in the listing as follows but I'm sure this is not the right way.


    while ($item = db_fetch_object($result)) {


	  $listings .= node_view(node_load($item->nid), TRUE);

          //** Two lines below added as demonstration
	  $temp = node_load($item->nid);	  
	  $listings .= $temp->teaser;  
    }


</pre>

You're probably making this more complicated than you need to. Examine the templates (job-posting-node.tpl.php and job-posting-list.tpl.php) and it should become clear. HTH.

...oh, and possibly, the 'preprocess' functions in job_posting.module as well.

Hi gmarus,

Thanks so much!

I'm a Drupal novice and had incorrectly assumed that:

  • "job-posting-list.tpl.php" handled which fields to display on the job listing page, and
  • "job-posting-node.tpl.php" handled which fields to display on the full node (detailed job page)

However, I now realise "job-posting-node.tpl.php" handles which fields are displayed on both pages and the $page variable is used within "job-posting-node.tpl.php" to determine which additional fields to display on the detailed job page.

Further, by adding a line to the function template_preprocess_job_posting_node_display(&$variables) within the job_posting.module as below:

$variables['summary'] = $variables['node']->teaser;</pre>

The auto generated summary/teaser of the body becomes available for use within "job-posting-node.tpl.php".  For example the below will display it only on the job listing page.


<?php if (!$page): ?>
  <div class="job-posting-summary">
    <?php print $summary; ?>
  </div>
<?php endif; ?>
</pre>

This module is really great!!!
