possible bug in job list template

for what it’s worth the same shortcodes work fine in the individual job listing page

Having this exact same problem. Each row has class=”job job even” instead of “job1 job291 odd”

Remove job[job_id]

Hi, and thanks for a really useful tool!

This problem, however, is a bit worse than that. Looking at the codex it seems like wp 4.2.3 dropped support for shortcodes inside HTML attributes. Somehow, by doing it anyway, the “invalid” shortcodes are parsed first, in this case before entering the job_loop. That’s why the results are all “empty”.

The right way to do it is to have the shortcode itself generate all needed HTML but conceptually i really do like the way you have it now.

For workarounds, see e.g. this

That’s interesting. Have you attempted this after updating to JM 7.25 ? We are not observing this on any of our client and or test sites.

Hi Tom,
A short update: I saw now that in my sandbox i had 7.24. It’s updated now and it looks the same in this regard. Just for fun, i added some debug output and could verify that still the ‘even_odd’ shortcode is handled before the ‘job_loop’.

The relevant parts of the stack trace at the ‘even_odd’ handler (notice the do_shortcodes_in_html_tags):

Might be something to do with your local instance? Not seeing this on live installs

No? I see the exact same symptom on https://www.wp-jobmanager.com/jobs/

<div class="job job even">

^– I’m suspecting that the above pretty much matches the shortcodes in the demo template.

Now, I’m not saying that there’s anything wrong with the Job manager – if anything it’s the demo template that needs adjustments – but in order to add dynamic classes in this manner it seems like the concept needs some alterations.

Best regards,
Petter

As I mentioned earlier, all you have to do is

Remove job[job_id]

From the Job Templates

I removed job[job_id] but every job still says ‘job even’. I still also am unable to get ‘highlighted’ to appear, each class it ‘job-table’.

Something is not parsing correctly. I am using the latest version of the plugin as of right now.

Thank you

Also, your demo page is messed up

https://www.wp-jobmanager.com/jobs/tech-job/

The submit resume button at the bottom of the form is not showing correctly

Chatwithchad, thanks for the info on the demo page…its been corrected. Was doing some testing and forgot to set it back correctly.

On the highlight. Just installed it should work fine.

1. Ensure for Display Settings you have Highlighted jobs behaviour set to Sticky or Inline

2. Ensure you have table class with highlight Option within the job Loop

Example:

[job_loop]
<div class="job[job_row_number] job[job_id] [job_odd_even]">
<table class="job-table[if_job_highlighted] highlighted[/if_job_highlighted]">
  <tr>
    <th scope="row">Title</th>
    <td>[job_icon] [job_link][job_title][/job_link]</td>
  </tr>
[if_job_categories]
  <tr>
     <th scope="row">Categories</th>
     <td>[job_category_links]</td>
  </tr>
[/if_job_categories]
[job_field_loop]
  [if_job_field]
  <tr>
    <th scope="row">[job_field_label]</th>
    <td>[job_field]</td>
  </tr>
  [/if_job_field]
[/job_field_loop]
  <tr>
    <td></td>
    <td class="jobs-applynow">[job_apply_link]Apply Now[/job_apply_link]</td>
  </tr>
</table>
</div><br/><br/>
[/job_loop]

[if_job_page_count]
<div class="job-nav">
	<div class="previous">[job_page_previous_link]Page [job_page_previous_number][/job_page_previous_link]</div>
	<div class="this">Jobs [job_page_minimum]-[job_page_maximum] of [job_total]</div>
	<div class="next">[job_page_next_link]Page [job_page_next_number][/job_page_next_link]</div>
</div>
[/if_job_page_count]

3. Individual Jobs need to marked as highlighted when you create and or edit them.

Removing job[job_id] from the Job List Template has removed the superfluous un-numbered ‘job’ class from each div, but all divs are still given the ‘even’ class – no ‘odd’ rows appear.

This still doesn’t work for me either. I imagine that this has something to do with our install environment, like antiquated code that newer versions of PHP have dropped support for or something along those lines.

I even copy/pasted the authors example code from above directly and it still made no difference, still didn’t add the word ‘highlighted’ in so that CSS could stylize it.

For what it’s worth I’m using PHP 5.5.1.2
