QueryJane - Development Update

QueryJane is a web application developed with Django that allows to connect with companies and experts in different sectors of the cannabis industry. Beta version is available here.

New Features

Added job type attribute to job offer model.

I have added a new attribute to the JobOffer model called job_type.

Take a look to the JOB_TYPE_CHOICESdefinition:

This new attribute allows users to classify the published job offers by type of job. Users can select one of the following options:

• Freelance.
• Full time.
• Internship.
• Part time.
• Temporary.
• Volunteer.

In the new job offer form is now available the Job type field:

This new attribute will be displayed in the job offers list and in the job offer detail.

Job offers list:

Job offer detail:

Users can now filter job offers by job type. The field job type has been added to the job offers filter form in the jobs list:

The detailed code changes related to this feature can be found in this commit.

Added contact form.

I have added the "Contact Us" section. The link is available in the application footer:

Users must fill in the following fields:

• Subject.
• Name.
• Email.
• Message.

The phone field is optional:

If the user is authenticated, the name filed will have the user name as default value, and the email field will be hidden.

have used the generic class-based views provided by Django. In this particular case, I have used the FormView class, that allows to display a form a manage form events in a very easy way.

When a users submits the contact form, an email is sent to the platform administrators with the message details:

Users are redirected to the confirmation page:

The detailed code changes related to this feature can be found in this commit.

Display country flag.

QueryJane is detecting the user country. I have added the flags images to the repo and now, when a country name is displayed, the country flag is displayed to. This is a front end feature that allows display the companies, users and job offers information in a more beautiful way. Take a look to two sections in which flags are displayed:

Home page:

Job offers list:

I have created a new attribute in the Country model called flag. It allows to identify the country image using the country code. All flags have been saved in the format country_code.png.
