Common Problems with Jobs Admin
The most common problem with Jobs Admin is that you will go to approve a job that has been entered by a member of the public only to find that the job listed doesn't appear or has no content in the Admin section. Alternatively you may be contacted by someone complaining that they have submitted a job but it hasn't appeared on the website.
Cause: What happens is that the person submitting the job has failed to upload a pdf correctly.
- The pdf may be too large (over 1MB) for the system
- The pdf may have spaces or illegal characters in the file name
- The pdf may have had too long a file path on the uploaders computer. Kea can only cope with a file path maximum of 250 characters. If the file path is longer than this (which frequently happens if the whole job name is the title and the files is several directories deep on the computer), the file path is cut off at 250 characters and the file fails to upload
