Search doesn't work.

こんにちは桜さん、

I spent some time looking at how to do this but it’s beyond my knowledge.

The only thing that came to mind was using ‘$jobs’ instead of the ‘get_job_field(‘job_field23)’ to call the jobs from the loop.

I also took a look at the “db.php” file for the plugin, there is an array ($page) that could be useful. Here is a snippet I was looking at.

$jobs = $wpdb->get_results( $sql, ARRAY_A );
		if( count( $jobs ) > 0 ) {
			foreach( $jobs as $job ) {
				$oldjobids[] = $job['id'];

				$page = array(
							'comment_status' => 'closed',
							'ping_status' => 'closed',
							'post_status' => 'publish',
							'post_author' => 1,
							'post_content' => $job['abstract'],
							'post_name' => strtolower( str_replace( ' ', '-', $job['title'] ) ),
							'post_title' => $job['title'],
							'post_type' => 'jobman_job',
							'post_date' => $job['displaystartdate'],
							'post_parent' => $mainid
						);
				$id = wp_insert_post( $page );
				$newjobids[] = $id;

				add_post_meta( $id, 'salary', $job['salary'], true );
				add_post_meta( $id, 'startdate', $job['startdate'], true );
				add_post_meta( $id, 'enddate', $job['enddate'], true );
				add_post_meta( $id, 'location', $job['location'], true );
				add_post_meta( $id, 'displayenddate', $job['displayenddate'], true );
				add_post_meta( $id, 'iconid', $job['iconid'], true );

This is in the section “Move the jobs to posts”, maybe this can be used in calling for the search function. I’m sorry if this is in no way helpful but maybe it will provide a new direction in solving the problem. I hope you can figure it out!

こんにちはritgoさん。
Thank you so much for responding to my post.

I tried to use $jobs instead of get_job_field as below.

<?php
require_once(WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/job-manager/db.php');
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
  <div>
    <p><?php echo $jobs[23]; ?><?php echo $jobs[24]; ?></p>
  </div>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>

But, it still doesn’t show the contents.
I also used $page as below, but it doesn’t work.

<?php
require_once(WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/job-manager/db.php');
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
  <div>
    <p><?php echo $page['post_title']; ?></p>
  </div>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>

Is this because it doesn’t read “db.php” properly?
Or, do I need to write some codes in “search.php” based on the array in “db.php” ?

Thaks,
Sakura

どういたしまして＾＾

Ok I tried something different, it searches for all custom posts only. This displays the job information but I couldn’t get it to display more than one job so something is wrong.

This is the code I am using in my “search.php” file:

<?php
        /* Template Name: Custom Search */
        get_header(); ?>
        <div class="generic_page">
            <div id="content" class="content_right">
                     <h3>Search Result for : <?php echo "$s"; ?> </h3>       

                     <?php $args = array( 'post_type' => 'jobs', 'posts_per_page' => -1 );
                          $loop = new WP_Query( $args );
                          while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
                            the_title();
                            echo '<div class="entry-content">';
                            the_content();
                            echo '</div>';
                     endwhile;?>

            </div>
        </div>

For more information on the Wp_Query object that this is being used please see here. There are options to search only categories and to add additional filters for custom post types.

I wish I could be more helpful but I do not have much experience with querying the databases.

Best of luck!

ritgoさん、ありがとうございます!
I tried your codes and it worked and showed the contents of my JobManager successfully!

As you said, it displays just one job, but I think I can manage it.
You helped me a great deal.
Thank you so much.
Sakura

お疲れ様でした！
I’m very glad it helped and that you have it working, well done!
