# Important: The job plugins leave the content element header to the layout {#important-1790323400}

## Description {#description}

A **Jobs List**, **Jobs Detail** or **Jobs New**
content element renders through the content element layout of the site, like
any other content element. The layouts of EXT:fluid_styled_content
and of the bootstrap package render the header and the subheader an editor
enters, and the templates of the three plugins rendered them a second time:

```html
<f:render partial="Header/All" arguments="{_all}" />
```

With an explicit header layout the header and the subheader appeared twice.
With the header layout **Default** the plugin left an empty
`<header></header>` element behind, because the header partial takes the
heading level for that layout from a setting the plugin settings did not carry.

The templates now render the header only when the site switches it on:

**TypoScript constants**

```typoscript
plugin.tx_academicjobs.renderContentElementHeader = 1
```

On TYPO3 v13 the same is the site setting **Render the content
element header in the plugins** of the set `fgtclb/academic-jobs`. It is off by
default.

The plugin settings now also carry `settings.defaultHeaderType`,
mapped from the constant `styles.content.defaultHeaderType` of
EXT:fluid_styled_content, so with the switch on the header layout
**Default** renders a heading. See
[The header of the content elements](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/fgtclb/academic-jobs:configuration-general-content-element-header@3.0).

## Impact {#impact}

On a site whose content element layout renders the header, the header of the
three content elements appears once, and the markup of the plugins no longer
contains a `<header>` element. TYPO3 v12 and v13 behave alike here.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

Every installation using one of the three job content elements.

Installations whose content element layout renders **no** header, a site
package that renders the header in its element templates instead, lose the
header of the job content elements.

## Migration {#migration}

On a site whose content element layout renders no header, switch
`plugin.tx_academicjobs.renderContentElementHeader` on, through the
constant or, on TYPO3 v13, the site setting.

Projects that copied `Templates/Job/List.html`,
`Templates/Job/Show.html` or `Templates/Job/New.html` keep
rendering the header in their copy. On a site whose layout renders the header,
drop the `<f:render partial="Header/All" … />` line from the copy. On any
other site, keep it or wrap it in the same condition as the shipped templates:

```html
<f:if condition="{settings.renderContentElementHeader}">
    <f:render partial="Header/All" arguments="{_all}" />
</f:if>
```
