Mark Job Filled by role

    I have a “Request a Santa” page that I am making for a local santa group. One of the important features that I have just about finalized is “Request a Santa” which allows non-logged in users to submit a request for a Santa, and that goes out to everyone within the role “members”. This part is working great.

    The part I am needing a little tweaking is changing how jobs are marked as filled. Currently (and as designed) only the job/employer can mark a job as filled. On this site, we work on the honor system, and I would like to make it so that when a Santa has taken the job, they can mark the job as filled so that other Santas know the job is no longer available. How might I go about doing this? I would like to make this function only available to those whose role is “members”.

  • Could you use the plugin User Role Editor to give members the ability to access the job listings from the admin side and thus mark them as filled?

    Or, when a Santa Request (a job post, right?) is submitted, what user is listed as the creator of the job post? If those requests are all created under the same user, you could give your members log-in access to the account where you have the front-end [job_dashboard] listed (and all the submitted jobs).

    @hastibe, generally most of the requests will come in as guest. So under the job, it shows “Posted by: Guest User” from the admin interface. I wonder if it is possible to change the posting user while a job is being posted. (Say if it is being done by a Guest User, then the user ID is now xyz.)

    Unfortunately, I don’t have any useful advice here, and any code solutions would be custom code and so out of the scope of support that I can provide, sorry!
