Search Category in Custom Search doesn't work

Thanks for this great and well documented plugin! … but:

The documentation describes how to set up a custom search form, but the “category_search” doesn’t work: https://wpjobmanager.com/document/tutorial-creating-custom-job-search-form/

It would be great if there is also a chance to enable a “job_type” search via a custom form. If there is a chance please let me know. 🙂

Ok i will answer it for myself 🙂 the magic word is “filter” …

function set_job_manager_custom_filters( $attr ) {

	if( !empty($_REQUEST['search_category']) ) {
		$attr['categories'] = sanitize_text_field( $_REQUEST['search_category'] );
	}

	if( !empty($_REQUEST['filter_job_type']) ) {
		$attr['job_types'] = sanitize_text_field( implode( ',', array_values( $_REQUEST['filter_job_type'] ) ) );
	}	

	return $attr;
}
add_filter('job_manager_output_jobs_defaults','set_job_manager_custom_filters');
