Job Skills as Select Menu

  • Hi Mark,

    I’ve got a client who manages their “Job Skills” in Broadbean from a set list of options within a select menu. However, the as the ‘Job Skills’ field in WordPress is built for tags, the options the client selects from Broadbean aren’t pulling through to WordPress.

    The above link shows that ‘Job Skills’, which I’ve renamed to “Disciplines”, isn’t pulling through any data on the advanced search.

    Am I able to update this field to a predefined list (much like the sectors or standard WordPress categories), which are then pulled from Broadbean directly?

    Many thanks in advance,
    Jonny

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    This shouldn’t matter. The plugin works with the skills set as tags and skills should be sent across in the XML comma separated. If they don’t exist as tags, they are first created before being assigned to the job.

    You could change the taxonomy of wpbb_job_skill to be hierarchical by using the register_taxonomy_args filter. This would give it a category like input. Or you could use register_taxonomy_args filter in order to set a custom callback function for the meta box that is used to render the input. This is done by passing the name of the function you want to use for your callback as the meta_box_cb parameter.
