Remove Application Button for Specific Job Category?

Please provide the requested information.

I’m using Version: 0.7.23 of Job Manager. The WP install is version 4.2.2.

I can’t send the link unless there’s a way to message you privately as you’ll need a password to view it. The site isn’t fully live yet.

Thanks!

I need to see what your trying to accomplish in order to make a recommendation. From your brief description it appears you are not using all of the features of the plugin but are trying to use some in concert with another feature or service that does not make sense to me.

Generally, you cannot hide the button unless you remove it from all jobs as it’s hard coded.

Hi again – the site went live last night so you can now view what I’m referring to.
https://www.healthallianceinternational.org/jobs/united-states/

This job is categorized as a united states job, which also means that the employment process is different. Instead of an application form being submitted through the Health Alliance International site, the applicant needs to follow a link to the University of Washington website. There’s no other feature or service that we are using – just a simple link and an explanation.

If you click on Apply Now at the bottom, you are taken to the Application page – but using the Job Manager settings for the application form, I was able to differentiate how a United States job application form looks – I only created text with the explanation and links. ( I created MANY fields in the application form settings and checked the boxes for all other categories except the United States category. So a job in Mozambique for example shows a very long application form on its application page).

The issue is we don’t want people to be confused on the United states job application page due to the big “Submit Your Application” button. Hoping to be able to remove it from being viewed only on application forms for the United States job category – similar to how I hid application form fields from that category.

thanks!

Since I only see one job posted for the US I can’t determine how your “hiding” application fields to determine which Application Form to use?

I am assuming you tied in categories somehow? Can you post a Temp or Dummy Job in one of the other categories so I can see how your forms is generated for the NON US jobs ?

I do have a dummy job that I had to hide as soon as we went live. I can put it up right now for a short time only.

I didn’t do anything mysterious or that wasn’t part of the existing set up of the plug in. Each job application form field (in the application settings part of Job Manager Settings) has checkboxes for the categories created. I simply left the United States box unchecked for each job application form field….indicating that the field shouldn’t be visible on the US job application page. I checked the boxes for each of the other categories – so it shows up on all of those category application pages.

It would be so great if the Submit Your Application was also an app form field that simply could be left unchecked for United States. But of course not the case. But I was hopeful that since certain app form fields can be hidden for certain job categories, we could also hide the button depending on the category.

I understand what your trying to accomplish. Job Manager is an Applicant Tracking System in it’s purest form (ATS). It’s moving away from being just a job board feature. Allowing for the type of change you are looking for is subjugating the original intention of JM by sending your applicants to another Job Board.

Defeats the purpose of it’s intentions. To put this into a final perspective. You can have (enable) the Submit Application Button for ALL job listings or (disable) it for ALL.

To remove it, go into the individual job template and remove the appropriate shortcode.

Thanks for your response – yes I understand the purpose of it, and 75% of the time we will be using it as an ATS. We just were curious if we could somehow remove the button on this one category. It’s just an unusual situation where we have one category of job that shouldn’t be applied for directly with HAI, but through the University where it’s housed.

Thanks!

Marking this topics as resolved.
