Vacancy application callback

When a vacancy application happens a WordPress action 'otys_application' gets triggered containing the information regarding the application. This action can be used for example to trigger events via the backend. These events can for example be Google tracking events, using the Google analytics API.

Change header fallback image

Before the header fallback image was hardcoded in the plugin. This hardcoded image still remains, but you're able to overwrite this header by setting the setting 'Fallback header image'. If you've overwritten the vacancy-detail.php in your theme and you want to be able to use the setting do as described below.

In the vacancy-detail.php the hardcoded image url should be replaced with <?php echo esc_url($args['vacancy']['vacancyFallbackImage']) ?>. For reference check the new original vacancy-detail.php in [your-plugin-folder]/otys-jobs-apply/views/vacancies/vacancies-detail.php.
