New Feature: Channels Module

[TiSiE]

YAWIK should have the ability to post / share jobs to / with other instances or third-party online job markets.

The current implementation of such a feature in YAWIK lacks flexibility and modularity and is not suitable for posting processes that cannot be fullfilled within one web request.

Therefor we need to create a module which

• provides a "Portal" entity (with all needed information (needs specification))
• provide a convenient way to asynchronously perform the required actions and keep
  track of the state. (with GUI)
• Hook into the current job form

The implementation of a particular service should then be implemented in a dedicated module which builds on the features provided by the Portals module.

Please leave your thoughts on this matter...

In the past, we just had channels assigned to a job. Channels we had defined as:

YAWIK/module/Jobs/config/channel.options.local.php.dist

Lines 26 to 38 in 9315283

	$channel['jobsintown'] = array(
	'label' => 'Jobsintown',
	'prices' => [ 'base' => 650, 'list' => 698, 'min' => 499, ],
	'headline' => '30 Tage, incl. Karrierenetzwerk',
	'description' => 'publish the job for 30 days on %s',
	'linktext' => 'www.jobsintown.de',
	'logo' => 'modules/Jobs/images/channels/jobsintown.png',
	'route' => 'lang/content',
	'publishDuration' => 30,
	'params' => array(
	'view' => 'jobs-publish-on-jobsintown'
	)
	);

Now we would like to explore the possibility of an organization

1. assign a list of selectable channels
2. Assign an organization a list of channels that are selected by default when an organization publishes a job ad.

It should also be possible for a channel to define different products. For example, you should be able to book a "jobsintown" channel with different durations. For example a job advertisement with a duration of 30 days or 60 days.

And to avoid a mixup between channels and portals, lets always talk about channels. I've changed the title of the Issue
