A) HTML Structure - top

This theme is a fixed layout with two columns. All of the information within the main content area is nested within a div with a class of "focus". The sidebar's content is within a div with a class of "sidebar". The general template structure is the same throughout the template. Here is the general structure.

---

B) CSS Files and Structure - top

The default wordpress style.css is used to name the theme and that then references css/master.css, which is the main stylesheet.

The theme settings page within the WordPress admin allows two stylesheets to be switched between for the dark and light skins. This changes the secondary css file reference between css/dark.css and css/light.css.

The theme also uses css3 to create rounded borders and text shadows where needed. All these selectors can be found in a third css file called css/advanced.css.

If you would like to edit a specific section of the site, simply find the appropriate label in the CSS file, and then scroll down until you find the appropriate style that needs to be edited.

C) JavaScript - top

This theme imports fix Javascript files.

• jQuery - the popular library that powers all visual behaviours on the theme.
• jQuery UI - this jQuery library extension allows for a wide range of visual effects.
• jQuery.pngfix - this fixes transparency for older versions of IE.
• jQuery.select_skin - this restyles the dropdown select boxes.
• jQuery.autocomplete - this populates the autocomplete dropdowns for Tags, Skills and Search.
• Ajax FileUpload - this allows resumes to be uploaded by applicants on the job detail page.

D) Installation & Setup - top

Server Requirements

• Apache or linux based server
• PHP5 Enabled
• Mod Rewrite for friendly URLs

Preparing WordPress

1. Download the latest copy of WordPress from http://wordpress.org/download/.
2. Extract and move it to your installation directory.
3. Point your web server at the directory and navigation to your site in a browser.
4. Follow the WordPress installation procedure and login to the admin area.

Initial setup

1. Under Appearance » Themes choose the Nine to Five theme.
2. Under Appearance » Widgets select the widgets you'd like in the sidebar, below the custom theme widgets (which we'll configure a little later).
3. Under Appearance » Menus create a top menu called Navigation and a bottom menu called Links. Add links in the order you'd like.
4. Under Settings » General » Membership, allow anyone to register if you'd like anyone to be able to signup and post a listing (we'll handle payments shortly).
5. Under Settings » General » New User Default Role, choose Author.
6. Under Pages add a new page called 'Post a Job' (or whatever you'd prefer) and under the Template dropdown choose Post a Job.
7. Under Pages add a new page called 'Log In or Register' (or whatever you'd prefer) and under the Template dropdown choose Log In or Register.
8. Under Pages add a new page called 'Lost Password' (or whatever you'd prefer), make sure the page URL is /lostpassword/ as this is hardcoded into the login template, and under the Template dropdown choose Lost Password. If you'd like a custom URL, simply edit the auth.php template directly.
9. Under Posts » Categories set up your job board categories. Please note that you wont see the categories appear in the theme menu until you post a job to each of them. This is a WordPress functional requirement.
10. Under Nine to Five Settings setup the store to your liking. Help is provided in-context on the page. Also see the options section below.

Optional Extras

Nicer URLs
Under Settings » Permalinks » Common Settings, enable friendly URLs by changing to a custom structure of /%postname%/.

A better search
The search box works alot better with the Search Everything plugin enabled (available at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-everything/ and through the plugins page in the admin panel).

Approving listings
Theres a very simple way to approve job listings before they are published directly to the site. Unfortunately, its not part of the theme structure due to a WordPress requirement.

1. Find and open the file xmprpc.php in the root of WP site
2. Locate line 2060
   $post_status = $publish ? 'publish' : 'draft';
   and replace it with
   $post_status = $publish ? 'draft' : 'publish';

Blogging
We've included with this theme a fully separated blog section with commenting so you can boost traffic to your site by posting relevant content about your particular industry.

To post a blog entry, add the post to the Blog post type on the left menu of the WordPress admin.
