Adding and editing a company

Click Add New Company on the companies list, or click a company’s name to edit it. The same form is used for both.

  1. Go to Components → JS Jobs → Companies and click Add New Company.
  2. Click Select Employer and pick the employer who owns the company.
  3. Fill in the fields. Fields marked with a red star are required.
  4. Choose a Status and click Save Company, or Save & Close in Joomla’s toolbar.

The company form for the demo company Northwind Labs: Employer Name Olivia Grant with Select Employer, Name, Contact Name, Contact Phone, Contact Email, Category, URL, Contact Fax, Since, the Description editor, Company Size, City, Zip Code, Address 1, Address 2, Logo and Status.

Choosing the employer

Section titled “Choosing the employer”

Employer Name shows who owns the company. Select Employer opens a list of every Joomla user whose JS Jobs role is employer, with their ID, name and e-mail address. Type in Name or Email Address and click Search to narrow it, then click a name to choose it.

The Select Employer window with Name and Email Address search boxes, the Search and Reset buttons and the employers employer, Olivia Grant and Marcus Reed.

The owner matters: the company appears in that employer’s control panel on the site, and every job you post for the company belongs to them. A new company saved without an employer has no owner.

The fields

Section titled “The fields”

Which fields appear, in what order and whether they are required is set under Companies → Fields (see Job and company fields). Custom fields you add there appear on this form too. With the fields as installed:

Field What it does
Name The company’s name. Required.
Contact Name, Contact Phone, Contact Email, Contact Fax The company’s contact details.
Category The company’s category. Required.
URL The company’s website. Must be a valid web address.
Since The date the company was founded. Must be before today.

Income Unpublished when installed; publish it in Companies → Fields to use it.
Company Size The number of employees.
City The company’s location. See the note below.
Zip Code, Address 1, Address 2 The company’s address.
Logo Upload Company Logo to choose an image. The size limit shown under it (“Max File Size … KB”) comes from Configurations. When the company has a logo, the form shows it with a Delete Logo File tick box.
Status Approve, Pending or Reject. Approve is selected on a new company.

Status

Section titled “Status”
  • Approve shows the company on the site.
  • Pending sends it to Companies → Approval Queue.
  • Reject keeps it off the site; it stays on the companies list marked Rejected.

Changing the status on this form sends no e-mail. To send the Company Approval or Company Rejection e-mail, approve or reject from the approval queue.

Saving

Section titled “Saving”

After saving you return to the list you came from. Editing a company keeps its gold and featured state and dates.

  • If a required field is empty, the form shows a message and stays open.
  • If the logo is larger than the limit or not an allowed image type, the company is saved without it and a warning says why.
