NOTICE:

After your theme is updated to the latest version of MicrojobEngine 1.1.4, all colors in your site will return to the theme default. So, we strongly recommend you to save your current colors to avoid being lost. Besides, you MUST re-setup the commission & category images after upgrading your theme.

Since the first MicrojobEngine release in February, we have been continuously endeavoring to improve our theme with innovative features & the well-designed admin dashboard. And after one month of intense work, we are now ready for an impressive comeback with a remarkably new homepage, making your theme more cutting-edge and elegant.

So today we’re thrilled to inform you that MicrojobEngine version 1.1.4 is coming, offering new homepage layout experience, along with other feature improvements.

microjobengine 1.1.4 - new homepage layout

Being inspired by the MBTI personality test, we decided to build skin layouts based on groups of personality traits. The purpose is to help you express specific characteristics of your site through colors and layout. Besides, we believe these skins will motivate your users to visit the site more often for its impressive design and wonderful UX.

In this version, we will launch the first skin – Diplomat, which represents warm, compassionate and gregarious individuals. It will make your site more attractive and friendly since this skin uses Green as the decisive color. Especially when your site focuses on products or services related to nature, environment, organic, or outdoors, this skin is an ideal choice.

To select Diplomat skin in Admin Dashboard, open Engine Settings > Site Construction & Design. This section allows you to import the sample date & select your favorite skin. Simply hover your mouse over the Diplomat skin and click “Select” as the image below, or “Preview” to take the first look.

Impressive sliders in Homepage Search

Have you ever wanted to create sliders with high usability without using any complicated plugin such as Revolution Slider or Soliloquy? With Diplomat skin, it’s so easy for you to use your own sliders with custom images displaying on the search page.

It’s totally simple, just visit Customize > Title & Background > Homepage Search, then tick on the “Use Custom Slider” box to use your own sliders.

customize_use-custome-slider

In the “Slide image” section, you choose a maximum of 5 slide images from your existing images in the media library or upload new ones. Then click “Save & Publish” to complete your customization.

customize_slider-image

This is how your sliders should look like in front-end:

At the moment, the custom slider is not available on mobile, iPad and tablet.

Cutting-edge blocks

Block “What”

This block allows you to give a brief introduction about your website or anything you want your users to know clearly about your website/company.

Similar to creating your slider images, you go to Customize > Title & Background >  Homepage Search > Block What.

customize_block-what

*Note: HTML content is allowed, so you can enter this one if you want to CSS the title.  

Block “Why” (Customize > Title & Background >  Homepage Search > Block Why)

Along with Block What, Block Why is added to help you demonstrate why your site is the best choice for users. In this block, you can either use default icon or upload your own images.

There are many websites providing you more icons for free. Here are some websites you can visit to find suitable icons for your site:

https://icons8.com/
http://www.freepik.com/free-vectors/icons
http://modernuiicons.com/
https://dribbble.com/shots/2354334-Free-vector-icons-Retro-Volume-1
https://www.uxpin.com/uxpin-icon-set.html
block-why

Block “How” (Customize > Title & Background >  Homepage Search > Block How)

In fact, this block is modified from the before-footer in the Default skin, which helps users grasp clearly the main workflow on your site. All steps are similarly implemented to block Why.  

block-how

Elegant before-footer block

As a part of this skin, the before-footer is re-designed with new elegant appearance. Its display and content will vary depending on the login status of users (logged in or non logged in).

before_footer_block

To customize the heading title, sub title and button text for both cases, you should go to Customize > Title & Background >  Homepage Search > Block Footer as the image below:

microjobengine 1.1.4 - feature improvements

Along with the Diplomat skin, in this version, we also improve some features on both admin dashboard and front-end.

Admin Dashboard

  • Change the number format selection (Engine Settings > Theme Options > Payment Config > Number format)

From this version, there are two options for you to select the decimal and thousands separators instead of entering the value as before.

number-format

  • Change the mJob category selection

Another improvement in the admin panel is that category selection. To sync with the front-end, checkbox is appropriately replaced by ratio when you select the mJob category.

mjob-category

Add the blog template

In this version, blog template is also built. Instead of choosing “Default Template” in the template field under “Page Attributes” section, you can able to select “Blog” template for your page.

blog-template

Enable/disable options for local timezone & edit mJob is available

One of the most important features in MicrojobEngine 1.1.4 is that users can edit their mJobs even when those mJobs are active. To enable this option, simply visit Engine Settings > Theme Options > Microjob > mJob Verification > Editing mJob.

Besides, if you don’t want the local timezone display on user’s profile anymore, just disable this feature from back-end (EngineSettings > Theme Options > Users > Users Profile).

Now, our demo is all ready, and you are welcome to test. We are thrilled to hear your feedback about Diplomat skin and about this version.

Also, you can view MicrojobEngine Live Demo and MjE Stripe Coming Soon page while waiting for our foreseen plan.

    You need to create a dedicated sign-up page!!!

    Not just a small link in the login page that says ‘sign up’. An actual page that you can link new users to. Grr – basic.

    Yes, the mjob category as Muriantoro mentioned needs to sync backend and front. (is that mentioned above perhaps?)

    You guys should test the theme with several live accounts and make sure everything works as it should be. Honestly, we can’t afford another bug.

    I am excited to have the latest version of the mocrojob engine on top of my previous version. I was looking at the demo of 1.1.4. It looks awesome. But one problem I could found in the Demo that the slider shows blank screen for few seconds before loading each image. So, it looks really ugly in the slider blank screen at every few seconds interval. If this problem is fixed, that’s fine. But if not, this should be resolved before releasing the update.

    Thanks for your hard work.

    • Thao Le
      Oct  12TH,  2016

      Hi Abu,
      Thanks a lot for the feedback.
      Currently, this problem is solved. Hence, blank slides don’t display before loading each image anymore.
      Kindly check our demo again and let me know if there are any issues.

    • Thao Le

      Hi Takdjout,
      Concerning your questions:
      – ET mailing plugin isn’t used in the MicrojobEngine theme.
      – You can visit http://microjobengine.enginethemes.com/microjobengine-diplomat/ to view the demo.

        Hi,
        Thank you for the fast response Thao Le, but sorry the ET MAILING was in the previous versions befor the MicrojobEngine 1.1.2.
        I was using V1.1.1 and i didn’t enter any API of email services, and after updating to 1.1.3 i found the plugin ET MAILING not integrated, and the mails dosent work for me, and i get always this message : ” You can’t use the emails because you haven’t inserted ET Mailing’s API. Please insert the API to make the website work like charm. “.
        If you still using mailing’ API, How can i fix this? where to enter the API?
        How can i enter my email in the configuration thus mails will sent properly via the microjob mails templates?
        You can provide me via my EMAIL with steps and file names to fix it by myself.
        thanks.

    And one question, currently buyer cannot request a revision and the payment will be delivered to buyer in a few days after the delivery. What can we do to extend the payment deadline and allow buyers to do the revision?

      Hi Bjarne,
      Of course, we may choose Red as the decisive color for the next skin, and we hope it will be released in the next autumn. Currently, we are focusing on implementing Stripe integrated with MicrojobEngine theme in version 1.2. Besides, MicrojobEngine v2.0 with great features & extensions will be released to mark the first anniversary. Although we haven’t planned for the rest of skins, we hope you will be satisfied with the leaked version of the next one: http://imgur.com/BJrceQC

    What an awesome way to promote MicrojobEngine! It looks like it will be fun and useful. But I
    don’t think they intend to give a “freebie” for this version.

    • Thao Le

    “I’m going to build my microjob startup. Have you made any plan already for some marketing

      Hi Sidian,
      Thanks a lot for the suggestion.
      Definitely, we will develop it. However, we need to gather much more information currently. Could you provide us with the more detail suggestion?
      Anyway, Mailchimp & Opt-in are a complete solution at that moment.
      Please let me know if you have any question.

    Is it even worth using MicrojobEngine 1.0 anymore? I am starting another new site and was
    going to use 1.0, now I’m thinking I may just wait for 1.1.4? Any thoughts?

    • Thao Le
      Oct  13TH,  2016

      Hi Dean,
      There was a pity to hearing that you are using MicrojobEngine v1.0 for some reasons. You should upgrade your site to the latest version of MicrojobEngine to experience not only new edge-cutting edge layout but also other awesome features. In addition, our product team is intensively working to deliver the best one for you 🙂
      Regards,

    Hello! Is it possible to customize the Diplomat homepage by my own style? Is it possible for you to help in
    installing the sample demo? After following all your steps all my files and database were still
    delete and i have to pay my host to restore it fully. So now am scared to try it again.

    • Thao Le
      Oct  13TH,  2016

      Hi Aaron,
      Regarding your question, you need to take into account that sample data needs to be installed on a clean WordPress installation. Please contact our support team via support@enginethemes.com for the installing service. We’ll be glad to take a look at your issue.
      For the homepage customization, you can access Appearance > Customize for the most basic level. If you need more than that, you can hire a web developer to do it.
      Best.

Then, we will upgrade our theme to version 2.0 with great features & extensions & it will be released to mark the first anniversary.
      Hope it helps.

    I really like your direction with MicrojobEngine and how its matriculating. One of my biggest
    concerns, however, is the extension that can help me do my own basic marketing stuff. I was
    wondering if this was at minimum “in the works” from your developers.

    • Thao Le
      Oct  13TH,  2016

      Hi Bill,
      Thanks for your words of encouragement.

      Hope it helps.

    • Thao Le
      Oct  13TH,  2016

      Hi Mathias.
      Regarding your question, you cannot integrate video to the slider customization section at this moment since it can make your theme become heavier. However, we are planning to implement other replace options, allowing you to embed links such as Youtube or Vimeo.
      Thanks a lot for the feedback.
      Best.
