Pull geo city/state data for location display

    Hello –

    When an employer submits a job and inputs a full address it’s too long for the job results page and doesn’t look good.

    I am using GEO Job Manager and it automatically creates custom fields from the address. geolocation_city pulls the city and geolocation_state_short pulls the abbreviated state name (e.g. NY).

    How can I display City, State (abbreviated) pulling info from these two fields on both the job listing search/results page and individual job listing?

    Thank you.

    Presumably these geo location values are stored in post meta. You can filter the location via:

    return apply_filters( 'the_job_location', $post->_job_location, $post );

    So something like:

    function custom_job_location( $text, $post ) {
  return get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'CUSTOMFIELDNAME', true );
}

add_filter( 'the_job_location', 'custom_job_location', 10, 2 );

    thanks – where would I put this function (which file) and how would I display both values with a comma after the first one (custom fields again are geolocation_city and geolocation_state_short)

    Your theme functions.php

    You could try:

    return get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'geolocation_city', true ) . ', ' . get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'geolocation_state_short', true );
