AE Fields

This is an extension which allows admins to create more specific fields in different posting forms: post project, edit project and edit profile.

There are two tabs in the back-end providing admins different ways to input values: Meta fields and Taxonomies. Each tab includes these required information: Field name, Field label, Placeholder, Short description, Post type and Field type.

Generally speaking, there’s no big difference between these tabs, the “Field type” is the only interface disparity. In the Meta fields, you only have two options: text and text area while the Taxonomies fields provides more options. Also, if you want to customize the fields to make it filterable, the Taxonomies fields is the suitable one.

To make it work, simply fill in all the needed information and hit Save button.

Using Youtube video for the header background

It’s never been easier to set up the header video background. You now can insert a Youtube video ID and it’ll be displayed on your header background. However, if your browser doesn’t support this feature, you can set up an image to replace the video in “Video background fallback” section.

Invite freelancer to bid project

A new option is also implemented in this update: “Invite to bid”. If you enable this option, freelancers have to be invited first before they can bid a project. Freelancers have to contact the employers first, describe their ability so that they can be invited. By this way, employers can reduce the number of spam mails as well as have more information to make the decision.
