I’m using a taxonomy. The taxonomy I did in 2 ways:
1. through a pods plugin (now active)
2. through a snippet (not active)
by the way, which way is more preferable?
The code in the snippet is the following:
function gds_create_taxonomy_location() {
register_taxonomy(
'location_listing',
'job_listing',
array(
'labels' => array(
'name' => __( 'Locations' ),
'singular_name' => __( 'Location' ),
'search_items' => __( 'Search Location' ),
'all_items' => __( 'All Locations' ),
'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Location' ),
'update_item' => __( 'Update Location' ),
'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Location' ),
'new_item_name' => __( 'New Location' ),
'menu_name' => __( 'Job Location' ),
),
'hierarchical' => false,
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'location_listing'),
)
);
}
add_action('init', 'gds_create_taxonomy_location');
Then I did a code change for location frontend through a snippet:
add_filter( 'submit_job_form_fields', 'custom_location_field' );
// This is your function which takes the fields, modifies them, and returns them
// You can see the fields which can be changed here: https://github.com/mikejolley/WP-Job-Manager/blob/master/includes/admin/class-wp-job-manager-writepanels.php
function custom_location_field( $fields ) {
// Here we target one of the job fields (location) and change it's placeholder
$fields['job']['job_location']['type'] = "term-multiselect";
$fields['job']['job_location']['taxonomy'] = "location_listing";
$fields['job']['job_location']['placeholder'] = "Choose a location…";
$fields['job']['job_location']['description'] = "";
// And return the modified fields
return $fields;
}
