For Developers¶

Signal Slots¶

There are Signal Slots implemented which mainly happen before postings or applications are being assigned to the view.

You can simply find them by looking through the code. If you think you need more slots than are already provided feel free to contact us via GitHub or E-Mail.

Custom Filters¶

If you want to have custom filters you can do that by performing three steps.

Configure every filter you want in TypoScript settings, like the default config:
filter {
        repositoryConfiguration {
                division {  // Relation name: This is the name you should assign the form element property and the constraint property
                        relation = division // Define the relation a la Repository query e.g.: posting.contact.email
                        relationType = equals // choose equals, contains or in. This depends on the given relation
                }

                careerLevel {
                        relation = careerLevel
                        relationType = equals
                }

                employmentType {
                        relation = employmentType
                        relationType = contains
                }

                location {
                        relation = location
                        relationType = contains
                }
        }
}
Override the Constraint model, add your custom properties with getters and setters

Override the PostingController, by extending the Default one and override the function getFilterOptions()
This function defines what the filterOptions are. You can write queries to find the options automatically or supply constant ones. The data generated by this function gets cached, so perfomance wont be a problem. Also remember to clear all caches after changing something in the filter options. .. code-block:: php

// Function returns an array, matching the configured filters from above

public function getFilterOptions($categories): array {

return [

‘division’ => $this->postingRepository->findAllDivisions($categories), ‘careerLevel’ => $this->postingRepository->findAllCareerLevels($categories), ‘employmentType’ => $this->postingRepository->findAllEmploymentTypes($categories), ‘location’ => $this->locationRepository->findAll($categories)->toArray(),

];

}

Last but not least you have to edit the frontend template, so it includes your new filters. You can take the default filters as

an example, but basically you have access to the filter options and the user selected filter options in variable called constraint.

The controller is also preconfigured to work with both single- and multiselects.
