How to add Job description or excerpt in the job list

As you know the job list doesn’t display the excerpt. In our opinion, a job listing should only show as less text as possible so we don’t add the ability to show description. But if you really want it, I’ll instruct you on how to show the excerpt with a few code modification.
WARNING: you should know about HTML and a bit PHP code before process further.

The file you have to focus on is /layouts/noo_job-loop.php you can find it on your dashboard under Appearance -> Editor or using FTP to access our theme code.
However, I suggest you use the Child theme which will allow you to update our theme without losing your change.
Here are some links about Child theme in case you don’t know what it is:

About the noo_job-loop.php file, you should pay attention to the code between <article> tag:

<article <?php post_class($item_class); ?> data-url="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<div class="loop-item-wrap">
... this part show the logo
<div class="loop-item-content">
<h2 class="loop-item-title">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'Permanent link to: "%s"','noo' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ) ); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
</h2>
<?php Noo_Job::the_job_meta($list_job_meta, $post); ?>
</div>
<?php if ( $show_view_more == 'yes' ) : ?>
... this part show the view more button
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</article>

First you have to choose where to insert the excerpt, I think bellow the title and before the meta content ( the job type, location and date ) is good. Then you should insert this code right below the </h2> tag:

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

If you save your code now, you should see that the description is displayed on your site. However, it’s not good because the Read more button takes too much space, and you should remove it. http://prntscr.com/9z89bd

There’s a PHP variable that controled the display of the Read more button, $show_view_more so you should change its value. You should add this code right before the <h2> tag:

<?php $show_view_more = false; ?>

Just save your change and you’ll see that the description is showed in your jobs list.

Here is the final code and the screenshot of the code on from my computer:

<article <?php post_class($item_class); ?> data-url="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<div class="loop-item-wrap">
... this part show the logo
<?php $show_view_more = false; ?>
<div class="loop-item-content"<?php echo $show_view_more == 'yes' ? ' style="width: 60% !important;float: left"' : ''; ?>>
<h2 class="loop-item-title">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'Permanent link to: "%s"','noo' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ) ); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
</h2>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php Noo_Job::the_job_meta($list_job_meta, $post); ?>
</div>
<?php if ( $show_view_more == 'yes' ) : ?>
... this part show the view more button
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</article>
