module contrib offer/proposal: Job Vacancies

[ctorgalson]

Annertech has incoroporated a "Job Vacancies" content type + views + search etc into a couple of LGD sites.

I've cleaned up the initial config--the module at this stage is only config--to make it fit for general use. We wanted to find out if there's interest in the first place, but also if the community would like more/different features than the module currently includes.

We've built:

• a Job Vacancy content type with body, closing_date, and application_forms` fields
• a search_api (db) server and index to index the rendered item, body, and title fields
• a Job Vacancies view with a separate exposed filters block
• various additional config such as pathauto alias patterns for Job Vacancy etc

Looks insteresting, I just did a quick test and it installs and works to create jobs pages and a view with search. Many (most?) councils use Tribepad or simmilar to handle recuriting, and would be looking for integration with that, pulling the job feeds from there. BHCC has something for it's jobs pages but it's very old and is a controller that calls the API, not content.

@ctorgalson I suggest making a repo for it under the localgovdrupal name space for issues to be looked at. I think we can designate modules as Contrib?

What it looks like

Sounds good to me.

I'm not sure what you mean? We're happy to contribute it (and implement features/correct bugs/omissions etc).

[ctorgalson]

I realized that I have not correctly namespaced the fields per https://github.com/localgovdrupal/localgov/wiki/Naming-Conventions (h/t @finnlewis)

If someone can create a repo for this, I can make those changes and push it up.

[finnlewis]

Sure, what shall we call it?

localgov_jobs localgov_vacancies

or something else?

[finnlewis]

Ah - I see now - localgov_job_vacancies !

[ctorgalson]

Unless you want to go short with localgov_jobs or something since I'll be mucking around in config anyhow :-s
