Today Matador Jobs 3.8.2 & 3.8.3 is released to all our users. It primarily addresses minor bugs identified by users of our 3.8.0 release while restoring the improperly functioning feature that was temporarily disabled in 3.8.1. Users can update at their convenience to enjoy the benefits of this hotfix release.

3.8.2 & 3.8.3 Changelog

  • Fixed and restored the “nice to have” feature of 3.8.0, disabled temporarily in 3.8.1, that added expected/desired careerPortalDomainRoot values to certain settings screens. This feature will no longer cause irrecoverable errors when installing Matador Jobs on a fresh install of WordPress prior to “pretty permalinks” options being set in WordPress.
  • Fixed issue where, when a certain combination of Matador Settings were set, the expected/desired careerPortalDomainRoot value was not correct. We are sincerely sorry to any of our users that may be impacted by this issue, as some of you will need to re-do the process of updating your careerPortalDomainRoot value with Bullhorn Support.
  • Fixed three minor issues around Analytics Reporting features added in 3.8.0. First, manifest data that are integers will now be explicitly cast as integers. Second, the process that prevents a site from sending an Analytics Report except on the desired schedule was found to be too reliant on local site caching, and some sites were sending reports hourly instead of daily. A more explicit check was put in place to prevent such occurrences. Third, some debugging code was added the Analytics Reporting system to help us more aggressively test the system.
  • Fixed a bug caused by the intersection of the Matador Application Form’s handling of checkbox data and the submission of HAS_ONE or HAS_MANY relational data during sync. To ensure a value, even if none, is passed to the form processor, a checkbox field sends a “hidden” empty value. While all default form fields that feature a checkbox ignore the hidden value, custom checkbox form fields did not have handling to reject the empty value when non-empty values were also passed, which resulted in IMPROPERLY_STRUCTURED_ASSOCIATION errors from the Bullhorn API. This is fixed, but we wish to emphasize that only users with highly customized Application Forms were ever likely to see this, and in fact, this bug has existed since at least Matador Jobs 3.2.0 without one known user affected by it prior to last week.
