NetArt Indeed Jobs Script Frequently Asked Questions

1) How to integrate it in a website and existing .php file?

If you downloaded netart-indeed-jobs.zip and extracted the files in a sub folder /netart-indeed-jobs , it's enough to add such line of php code:

<?php
include("netart-indeed-jobs/jobs_category.php");
?>

in order to show the jobs by category or the following line:

<?php
include("netart-indeed-jobs/latest_jobs.php");
?>

in order to show the latest jobs. You can also add them both on a single page and change their positions in order to have for example the jobs by category show up at the top and latest jobs below or the jobs by category to show in the middle, while the latest jobs in a right panel etc.

2) Changing the different settings like Indeed Publisher ID, preferred country, number of results per page and others

To change these values, you need to edit the configuration file - config.xml located in the /netart-indeed-jobs folder.

You may check the content of the sample config.xml file below -

<my_config>
	<configuration>
		<publisher_id>3095669829689049</publisher_id>
		<default_country>us</default_country>
		<results_per_page>20</results_per_page>
		<latest_jobs_number>5</latest_jobs_number>
		<latest_jobs_default_category>Computers</latest_jobs_default_category>
	</configuration>
</my_config>

The values you could modify in the configuration file are

publisher_id - your indeed publisher id, you could get one by signing up as publisher on the indeed.com website
default_country - the default country for which the script will display the jobs, the full list of supported countries is available on the indeed website
results_per_page - the number of results / jobs per page you prefer, by default it's set to 20
latest_jobs_number - the number of jobs showing up in the latest jobs section
latest_jobs_default_category - the default category for the latest jobs section, you can enter any word - the search will be performed by it or leave empty

3) How to define your own job categories?

You could do that by editing the categories.xml file located in the /netart-indeed-jobs folder.

You may find below the content of the sample products.xml file we are using in our demos:

<job_categories>
	<category>Accounting</category>
	<category>Computers</category>
	<category>Banking</category>
	<category>Freelance</category>
	<category>Customer Service</category>
	<category>Healthcare</category>
	<category>Human Resources</category>
	<category>Manufacturing</category>
	<category>Marketing</category>
	<category>Science</category>
	<category>Hotels</category>
	<category>Restaurants</category>
	<category>Fashion</category>
	<category>Textile</category>
	<category>Retailing</category>
	<category>Logistics</category>
</job_categories>

To add more categories, you need to add more lines in the categories.xml by keeping the same file format.
