Location free search with job regions drop down

Hi Uprootednut,
were you able to get any further with this? I’m trying to achieve the same. The regions should be a pre-selector for the states and the regular one (locations) for the city.
I found the right part in the main.js to let both fields visible, but as regions detach the locations from job manager, it won’t work just that easy.

No I gave up in the end, decided just to keep everything simple and went for the standard keyword search and a drop down for all the states.

You can search pretty much anything in the keyword field so as long as it’s in the job some where it should be picked up.

Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful!

Im trying to do this but no joy ! helpy ?

<select id="search_region" name="search_region">
<?php foreach ( job_manager_job_listing_region() as $cat ) : ?>
<option value="<?php echo esc_attr( $cat->term_id ); ?>"><?php echo esc_html( $cat->name ); ?></option>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</select>

For anyone having a problem with dropdown search I solved it with the following:

<?php $args = array(
                  'show_option_all' => __( 'Location', 'wp-job-manager-locations' ),
                  'hierarchical' => true,
                  'orderby' => 'name',
                  'taxonomy' => 'job_listing_region',
                  'name' => 'search_region',
                  'class' => 'search_region',
                  'hide_empty' => 0
              );
              wp_dropdown_categories( $args ); ?>
