# Important: The job detail answers "not found" without a job {#important-job-detail-answers-not-found-without-a-job}

## Description {#description}

The job detail page answered a request without a job it can show with the
status `200` and the message "No job advert could be found." in the content
element. That applied to the page requested without a job, to a job that does
not exist, and to a hidden job. Search engines indexed it as a page of its
own. The page now answers `404` with the "page not found" handling of the
site, the way the profile detail of EXT:academic_persons does.

The job list of a content element with **Show hidden records** lists
hidden jobs, but linked them to that detail page, which cannot show them. A
hidden job is listed without a link now, like the hidden pages of programs,
projects and partners. The detail page finds a job by its record in the default
language, so the visible translation of a hidden job is listed without a link
as well. The list template receives the uids of those jobs as
`jobsWithHiddenDefaultRecord`.

## Impact {#impact}

A request of the detail page without a visible job ends with the error page
the site configures for `404`, or the default error page of TYPO3 when it
configures none. The rest of the page is no longer rendered. The label
`tx_academicjobs.fe.alert.job_not_found.body` is removed, an override of it
has no effect any more.

A link to the detail page in a menu, which carries no job, leads to that error
page. Hide the detail page in menus.

An installation that overrides `Partials/Job/Item.html` in its own site
package keeps linking hidden jobs until it adopts the change.

TYPO3 v12 and v13 behave alike here.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

Every installation rendering the **Jobs Detail** plugin, and the
**Jobs List** plugin with **Show hidden records** switched on.
