Staff Applications System

[Wayne B]

@Adriano Faria - This looks good and I am interested but I would like to be able to configure form fields for them to complete to make it more of an application form rather than a simple text box. I might want to ask them previous experience, references, qualifications etc etc and these should be separated like an application form would be in my view. 

Any thoughts about adding this functionality?

Thanks

Yes, Extra Fields. That’s why they’re there. 

You can set one, dozens, hundreds fields. Better than I add what I think it’s good. 

@Wayne B

EDIT: Or so you mean when someone is applying to the position? If so, take a look:

Hi Adriano,

Just upgraded your app but I now get an error 500 untill I deactivate it. Version 1.0.1 was fine before, is the new update only for 4.3?

If you’re not using 4.3, why would you upgrade it? 

Uninstall this version and install the 1.0.1

[Steph40]

Well I guess I am one of those stupid customers., will revert no problem.

FYI stating it is compatible with 4.3 does not mean it is not compatible with 4.2.8

But like I said, i am just a stupid customer. no biggy

If it were running fine in both versions, why in earth would I need to release a new version? I don’t see much sense. 5 or 6 resources I released a new version. 150 don’t. So...

Anybody mind sharing a link to their applications? I am looking for a good template to use for recruiting moderators.

By "template" do you mean the wording used in the form?

[Josiah Wallingford]

Great, thank you. What else do you use application for?

Beneficial Suggestions

 

 

[Josiah Wallingford]

Okay, next question. There are a lot of options and I want to make sure I am using them how they are envisioned by the creator (or close to it). Why are there three places to put int the positions title?

For example, if I need a moderator, what do I do with these options:

Back End
Category: Site Staff or no category needed... I don't see this used anywhere else besides a section called category.
Positions: Moderator

Front End

Title: Moderator again?
Tags: position, moderator, staff
Position drop down box: Moderator
Promote to: Moderator
 

I imagine there are so many redundancies so that the system could be used for many different uses... I am just trying to understand what some of those uses might be that would require so much redundancy (because I might find a way I could use this application for other things).

It uses a dummy category just to make use of search and tags system, otherwise it wouldn't be possible.

This seems to be extremely buggy to me, and I can't use it at all... I am using it on IPS 4.3.1.  As a fresh install I can just about make an application and such but if I have extra fields, I just can't do anything. I can't make applications, I can't edit them. I keep coming up with this error:-

OutOfBoundsException: Application (0)
#0 /home/SITE/public_html/system/CustomField/CustomField.php(754): IPS\Helpers\Form\_Editor->__construct('staffappsystem_...', NULL, 1, Array, NULL, NULL, NULL, 'staffappsystem_...')

#10 /home/SITE/public_html/index.php(13): IPS\_Dispatcher->run()
#11 {main}

Because of the "Steam_hook_steamid" thing, I figured maybe @Aiwa's Steam Integration Application was the cause.  So I disabled Steam Integration but that didn't really fix it, as you can see with the new error code below:

OutOfBoundsException: Application (0)
#0 /home/SITE/public_html/system/CustomField/CustomField.php(754): IPS\Helpers\Form\_Editor->__construct('staffappsystem_...', NULL, 1, Array, NULL, NULL, NULL, 'staffappsystem_...')

#9 {main}

Is it just me with this problem?

[Aiwa]

To rule out steam, set your steam custom profile field to type Text, don't worry you won't lose data. That way it's no longer using a custom field type and would bypass all my code. 

Just make sure to set the field type back so steam will function correctly moving forward. 

[Tripp★]

@Aiwa: Okay, I did that then disabled your app, I was still presented with this error though:

EXTREMELY buggy seems a bit overkill  because I don’t see other 20 clients complaining about this resource. It seems to be something related to a specific type of custom field (editor).

I’ll take a look in a couple of hours. 

[Adriano Faria]

What's New in Version 1.1.1:

Good for them, I'm glad it words for the other 20 people, I was just here to report a bug. I never empathised 'Extremely' either. So that opening statement seems a bit overkill, because I said SEEMS extremely buggy. Not that it IS extremely buggy. If you want to argue more about this my PM box is open, let's not do this publically, again.

I agree that does seem to be where it's coming from. Thank you very much.

That has done the job very nicely man. Thanks very much for your quick update of this, despite all being said I actually deeply appreciate a developer that gets problems fixed so very quickly. So thumbs up. Thanks Adriano.

I have found another EX0 error that this application displays. I am using custom fields and so it might be related to the one I reported the other day; but when I goto the ModCP and then look at the applications from there, I get presented with this error:

I am getting this error:

It’s the sane error from the post above yours, @Josiah Wallingford.

Still waiting for your answer, @Tripp★. Anything else?
