Fill in company details

In order for a company to be able to post job ads, it must be identified with certain details (like the name and address). Since these fields are not stored in the general user table, it becomes mandatory to fill in these details after registering and logging in for the first time. To access the com_details page, there is a link on the company main page.

To create this page follow the next steps:

1. Open the company/com_details page in Dreamweaver.
2. Apply the Insert Record Form Wizard.
3. In the first step, configure it to use your database connection and the company_com table. For the redirect setting, browse to the company/index page.
4. In the second step, set the fields to be used in the transaction:
• name_com - this will store the company's name. Leave its settings at their default.
• address_com - this will store the company's address. Use a text-area as element, because addresses tend to take up more space.
• idusr_com - this stores the user ID, as created when the company registered. This ID is already available to the page, because when the company logs in, the kt_login_id session variable stores it. To pass the session variable into the table column, through the insert transaction in a safe way, set it to be displayed as text (it will be displayed in the form, but not editable - you will delete it later on), and for the Default Value setting, use the InterAKT Dynamic Data to select the variable source and reference.
  
  

• When the default values have been set, and the rest of the options are configured (display element, submit type), the user interface should look similar to:
  
  
   

5. Now you can click on the Finish button to add the form into the page. In Dreamweaver, remove the first row displaying the user ID, as it should not be visible.
6. To make sure the company only visits this page once, right after registering, you can make it the page that registration redirects to. To do this, you will have to edit the Insert Transaction on the company/register page.
1. Open the company/register page in the browser
2. Double-click the Insert transaction in the Server Behaviors tab of the Application panel
3. In the After inserting, go to text field, click the Browse button, and select the company/com_details page.
4. Click on OK to close the dialog box, and save the page. Upload it to the server and close it.
7. When a new company registers to the site, and finishes entering the main account data, a login form will be displayed, asking for the newly defined credentials. Once the company logs in correctly, the company details form is displayed, asking for the official name and address:
