[Plugin: WP Job Manager] Custom fields in job listing

I just figured this out today. Try going to wp-job-manager-template.php and add the 2 following functions. Just replace “jobOrderNumber” with “salary” or the name of your custom field.

function the_jobOrderNumber( $before = '', $after = '', $echo = true, $post = null ) {
	$jobOrderNumber = get_the_jobOrderNumber( $post );

	if ( strlen( $jobOrderNumber ) == 0 )
		return;

	$jobOrderNumber = esc_attr( strip_tags( $jobOrderNumber ) );
	$jobOrderNumber = $before . $jobOrderNumber . $after;

	if ( $echo )
		echo " ($jobOrderNumber)";
	else
		return $jobOrderNumber;
}

/**
 * get_the_jobOrderNumber function.
 *
 * @access public
 * @param int $post (default: null)
 * @return void
 */
function get_the_jobOrderNumber( $post = null ) {
	$post = get_post( $post );
	if ( $post->post_type !== 'job_listing' )
		return;

	return apply_filters( 'the_job_OrderNumber', $post->_job_jobOrderNumber, $post );
}

Now in content-job-listing.php, you can use your new the_jobOrderNumber(); function, such as:

<li <?php job_listing_class(); ?>>
	<a href="<?php the_job_permalink(); ?>">
		<?php the_company_logo(); ?>
		<div class="position">
			<h3><?php the_title();
				if (is_user_logged_in()) {
					the_jobOrderNumber();
				}
			?>
			</h3>
			<div class="company">
				<?php the_company_name( '<strong>', '</strong> ' ); ?>
				<?php the_company_tagline( '<span class="tagline">', '</span>' ); ?>
			</div>
		</div>
		<div class="location">
			<?php the_job_location( false ); ?>
		</div>
		<ul class="meta">
			<li class="job-type <?php echo get_the_job_type() ? sanitize_title( get_the_job_type()->slug ) : ''; ?>"><?php the_job_type(); ?></li>
			<li class="date"><date><?php echo human_time_diff( get_the_time( 'U' ), current_time( 'timestamp' ) ) . ' ' . __( 'ago', 'job_manager' ); ?></date></li>
		</ul>
	</a>
</li>

Hope this helps. Let me know how it works out.

I put mine in the job listings, but if you write those 2 functions in wp-job-manager-template.php, you should be able to call “the_jobOrderNumber();” (or “the_salary();” or whatever your custom field is) on any front-end page.

Note that this is different than if you want the new field to show up in the job listings on the admin back-end. If you’re looking to put it on the page that has this at the end of the URL:
wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=job_listing

..let me know, because that is different code entirely. I just figured it out yesterday so I can post that too if that’s what you’re looking for.

I am going to add something off topic. I apologize, I am not sure where to ask it and at the very least this is a group of people trying to bend the applications of job manager. In my particular case I am using it with Jobify.

Any initial thoughts or areas to turn to have the jobs created be posted as products (woo commerce). The end goal to have the posting be purchasable. I know this is a broad stroke.

this is a bit off topic as well, but it seems like this might be a good place to ask. has anyone figured out a good way to add other options besides “job” or “company” to the listings without messing up the code for future updates? I’m sure i could completely modify the code, but eve then I’m sure I’d break it with my limited php skills. ultimately I would love to have the word “property” added along with those two, but worse case scenario i couls swap “company” for “property.”

Any advice?
