Yep, rateu, a job portal type xthread feature will be fantastic.

My suggestions:
Here is the link for reference:

Code:

http://www.freshersworld.com/

---

Input fields required -

Job Name: ---- [Name of the Job] [textbox]
Hiring company: ---- [Name of the company hiring] [textbox]
Job work mode: ---- [Which field the job belongs to - software, hardware] [textarea]
Job Postions: ---- [Post/Designation awarded] [textarea]
Job type: ---- [Whether full time/part time] [textarea]
Location: ---- [Places of working] [textarea]
Package: ----- [Salary details] [textarea]
Selection process: ---- [Type of job selection] [textarea]
Date: ---- [Date of exam/interview] [2 textboxes, {one box on left with drop down selection with 2 options - EXAM, NON-EXAM} & second on right for date input]
Eligibilty Qualification: ---- [Minimum qualification to apply for the job] [textarea]
Age: --- [Age requirement for applying] [textarea]
Exam/Application Fee: --- [Fee of the application] [textbox - Nil by default]
Application Date: ---- [Starting date & Ending date for applying for the exam and extra details] [two textboxes on top, left-starting date - right, ending date; below a textarea for entering the details on how to apply for exam.
How can we apply: --- [Details on how to apply for job] [textarea]
Apply online: --- [to apply online, a link to the company's site] [textbox -  N/A by default]
Apply offline/Application download: ---- [if application is free, attachment facility to upload to site] [attachement block]
Job details: --- [Extra details for job description] [textarea]
Profile of the company: ---- [details about the company hiring] [textarea]
Company/Institution weblink: ---- [url link for the company if available] [textbox]
Company rating: ---- [rating given for the company by the authors only] [rating block]
User rating: ----- [general thread rating which will be used by users to rate that job thread] [rating block]
Exam syllabus: ---- [syllabus need to prepare] [textarea]
Exam papers: ----- [for placing the site links to have the reference exam papers list] [textarea]
Submitted by: --- [thread posting author's  name - automatically insert the author name using mybb's system]
Submission date: --- [when this thread is posted - automatically insert the date and time using mybb's system]]
I gave a sample for creating this feature in 2 columns.
Example:
Package: ----- [Salary details] [textarea]
Package: is the first column as heading, and second column is [textarea] which is either textarea/textbox/dropdownbox
----- [Salary details] this is just for reference on what will be inputed by users in textarea/textbox/dropdownbox
[textbox - Nil, N/A by default] is where the field Nil, N/A must be in the textbox by default, so that we can enter if available or ignore that field if not.

please remove the postbit block which will be visible after posting, so that the whole thread is assigned for the above fields only, and we can just insert the thread author, time as the last fields.

limit the height of the textarea(150/250px with vertical scrolling bar) to restrict it from making the post long. width must be auto, so that it will fit to the width of the screen/site's body width.

If possible, label creation taken from the topics automatically will be good as like
1) Application date: [ending date] sortable from descending to ascending,
2) Exam date: sortable from descending to ascending,
3) Company: sortable by company name alphabetically
4) Rating: sortable by company rating and user rating separetly in highest to lowest.

Could not agree more. This is the great idea.

Maybe it's seem complicated, but this is mega application of the year. haha


Or you can try to make it simple like this..(see reference links)

kaixer, your reference sites have a very simple layout and it may not draw the users attention.

what i posted is the complete job portal tbh and if you are going to use you must use this type of layout which gives you detailed info to the user and user friendly layout.



Vote for it. RateU, is great. This may be easy for him

[RateU]

So, which part you want to take to create?

[leefish]

1master1 - Looking at the input fields, you may wish to reconsider using so many text-boxes; by using drop downs/checkboxes you can use filters more effectively. It will also prevent TOO many spelling mistakes

also - just an idea - rather than having a box for the company details, you could offer this as a package - so companies add their details to the existing links directory (for example) then, if they are a company in the links directory you don't have a text area, but a link to the links directory listing.

Its also an idea to think about if you want these job listings to show on say the portal - as a list of new jobs - or even to have a special box on portal or index with a featured job (these two plugins already exist here on mybbhacks).

Another nice touch would be to use the similar thread prefixes plugin to show jobs with a similar prefix - so its an idea to choose one of those fields in the list to be a thread prefix so you can use that feature.

[1master1]

^^^^ wow, leefish, thank you very much for the suggestions. your suggestions are very worth to add.

using dropdown box, its not possible to include everything in the drop down options.

[leefish]

I was thinking about this, and I think rather than linking to other sites - which are never EXACTLY what you want, you could make a wireframe of this - by that, I mean think about HOW you want each piece to look - and draw it out on paper or in photoshop. I find that that helps me a lot.

I suggest that as a first step you make a list of the templates you will want to change - probably you will want at minimum

forumdisplay_threadlist, forumdisplay_threads, postbit_first, showthread, newthread, editpost_first.  If you are thinking of making this a sellable option then a sticky thread with a "special" layout would put stickied threads at the top of the listing (which you could offer as a premium service)

Its really easy to just ask RateU to make stuff all the time, but you can get a LOT of fun out of doing these yourself with RateU (and me, where I can) about to help.

thanks for your cooperation leefish. i will be ready to work on this once my few errors on site get rectified
i will let all know with the things i will implement and leave which i may not implement.
will post that code here so that we can work together

I really like this idea. This will make a systems in our forum, and make our job portal unique.

Glad you want to try it

[leefish]

Yea - that will be great - course, it will help if the template master (that's YOU RateU ) gives us some tips on where to start -

I think - first the wireframe, then decide which bits are the custom thread fields - drop downs/checkboxes/textboxes - then the templates?

If it is related to designing and drawing, I'm totally zero
I think I should learn photoshop....
