I did see this but unfortunately, it still prints the javascript box next to the Apply Button, I am looking for something that will auto open the email or something that will allow me to retrieve the email address, JOB ID (which I custom added) and the title of the job in the email
Inside that template you can replace the input application_button with a link instead. e.g.
<?php if ( $apply->type == 'url' ) : ?>
<a href="<?php echo $apply->url; ?>" class="button" target="_blank">Apply Online</a>
<?php else : ?>
<a href="mailto:<?php echo $apply->email . '?subject=' . rawurlencode( $apply->subject ); ?>" class="button" target="_blank">Send Resume by Email</a>
<?php endif; ?>
removing the rest of the content.
ahh okay i see… I got it to show me the CSS I formatted and the button is now cosmetically correct in how it should look
When I click it, it does open an email but it doesnt follow your format…
I’m trying to get the echo to work now… I found the Job Manager Template in the plugin folder and where and what I would need to change (I think I have the right value (ex post_title) for the job ID…
Just need this thing to auto fill and add a body and im done 🙂
Ok, to set subject and body you do it via the href:
href="mailto:<?php echo $apply->email . '?subject=' . rawurlencode( $apply->subject ); ?>body=XXXX"
The JOB ID would be $post->ID. Job title $post->post_title. Not sure which one you are looking for.
Oh wonderful!
Thank you so much for your help!!
The ID I’m speaking of is something I added manually, it’s a field my recruiter enters our ATS number so we can find the job easily 🙂
/* WP JOB MANAGER - JOB ID
-------------------------------------------------------------- */
add_filter( 'submit_job_form_fields', 'frontend_add_jobid_field' );
function frontend_add_jobid_field( $fields ) {
$fields['job']['job_jobid'] = array(
'label' => __( 'ATS Job ID Number', 'job_manager' ),
'type' => 'text',
'required' => true,
'placeholder' => 'ATS Job ID Number (Avionte, CareerBuilder, Big Biller)',
'priority' => 8
);
return $fields;
}
add_action( 'job_manager_update_job_data', 'frontend_add_jobid_field_save', 10, 2 );
function frontend_add_jobid_field_save( $job_id, $values ) {
update_post_meta( $job_id, '_job_jobid', $values['job']['job_jobid'] );
}
add_filter( 'job_manager_job_listing_data_fields', 'admin_add_jobid_field' );
function admin_add_jobid_field( $fields ) {
$fields['_job_jobid'] = array(
'label' => __( 'ATS Job ID Number', 'job_manager' ),
'type' => 'text',
'placeholder' => 'ATS Job ID Number (Avionte, CareerBuilder, Big Biller)',
'description' => ''
);
return $fields;
}
Also the code replacement for body seems to be body=XXXX under the subject…
Im so sorry but im not quite sure how you have the $apply thing set up :/
$apply is passed to the template file. It contains the method and email/url depending on the job.
Thank you SO MUCH for your help!!
I got the button to do what I wanted, I got the email to pop up, I have filled in the Subject fields and text –
The body doesnt work though… Still stuck on the body…. :/
<?php if ( $apply = get_the_job_application_method() ) :
wp_enqueue_script( 'wp-job-manager-job-application' );
?>
<br/>
<div class="application">
<?php if ( $apply->type == 'email' ) : ?>
<a href="mailto:<?php echo $apply->email . '?subject=' . rawurlencode( $apply->subject ); ?>" class="jbapplybutton" target="_blank">Apply via Email!</a>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="application_details">
<?php if ( $apply->type == 'email' ) : ?>
<a href="mailto:<?php echo $apply->email . '?subject=' . rawurlencode( $apply->subject ); ?>" class="jbapplybutton" target="_blank">Apply via Email!</a>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
<br/>
<?php endif; ?>
After:
?subject=' . rawurlencode( $apply->subject ); ?>
Put
&body=<?php echo get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_job_jobid', true ); ?>
Amazing, thank you so much, I really appreciate it!!
It’s working perfectly!!
For those that wish to do as I did
<?php if ( $apply = get_the_job_application_method() ) :
wp_enqueue_script( 'wp-job-manager-job-application' );
?>
<br/>
<div class="application">
<?php if ( $apply->type == 'email' ) : ?>
<a href="mailto:<?php echo $apply->email . '?subject=' . rawurlencode( $apply->subject ); ?> &body=Thank you!" class="jbapplybutton" target="_blank">Apply via Email!</a>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="application_details">
<?php if ( $apply->type == 'email' ) : ?>
<a href="mailto:<?php echo $apply->email . '?subject=' . rawurlencode( $apply->subject ); ?>" class="jbapplybutton" target="_blank">Apply via Email!</a>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
<br/>
<?php endif; ?>
