Jobs added via import are set as 'archived'?

Hi Tom,

The link you referenced is the importer that I’m using.

I will try to figure it out. To get me started, would you be able to tell me what fires in your plugin when the ‘update jobs’ button is clicked?

Cheers,

Much appreciated Tom-

Thanks for that Thomas. I’ll dig into it and reply back here when I have it figured out. I appreciate the responses –

I imagine this will take me some time so by all means mark this topic as resolved while I go do some work.

Rgds,

Thomas,

I have found an interesting situation in relation to my imported jobs showing with no ‘/jobs/’ piece in the URL on the ‘Job Manager: Jobs List’ page where we can view or edit or archive each job by selecting it.

When I turn off my permalinks (they’re always set to/%postname%/) I can view the imported jobs when I click on ‘view’ in the jobs ‘Job Manager: Jobs List’ !! But, when I turn on my permalinks, I go back to the situation where the jobs aren’t viewable.

This leads me to think that there may be a simpler solution to fix the issue I’m seeing. Any thoughts?

Hi Thomas,

Here’s my fix. It’s not pretty but it works…

Since the plugin doesn’t strictly conform to custom-post types methodology, I had to update the POST_PARENT by accessing the database directly using $wpdb method. I did this from within functionality in the WP ALL IMPORT plugin.

The WP_ALL_IMPORT plugin has a hook at ‘post_saved’.

add_action('pmxi_saved_post', 'post_saved', 10, 1);
function post_saved($id) {
}

So, I just hooked into that and performed a query to update the post_parent for each record that I was importing:

add_action('pmxi_saved_post', 'post_saved', 10, 1);
function post_saved($id) {
global $wpdb;
$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE $wpdb->posts SET post_parent = %d WHERE post_type = %s",8, 'jobman_job' ) );
}

I used the value 8 in the query because that’s the ID of my Job Manager base page. Other users would just need to insert their Base Page ID and it would work. The table names would be the same for all users.

Hope this helps somebody.
