In this exercise we’ll configure the job listing so it filters by terms of employment.
If you’ve already created the Job list view, skip to the step
If you don’t have the job listing view, we’ll create it and set the filter criteria.
Go to Structure → Views → Add new view. Configure with these settings:
View name: Job listing
Show “Content” of type “job posting” sorted by “Newest first”
Select the Create a page checkbox
Keep the defaults for the page setting
Select Create a menu link
Menu: Select Main navigation Link text: Jobs
Click Save and edit
Based to knowledge acquired from previous units in this manual, add a filter by terms of employment, and expose to the site visitors. Use the preview section located below the view configuration form to accomplish this task. Once you are happy with how it has been configured, save the view.
Review your changes by checking your homepage. “Jobs” will be part of the main navigation (because you added it to the menu) and you’ll now see a dropdown menu that filters the job postings.
Content types often share information such as taxonomy terms, authors, and so on. We may also want to add in a relationship between content types so that we can share data (fields) from one content type with another. When you first set up a view, you select your “base table”. By adding in View relationships, you can share information from tables of other content types.
