Separate Search Page and Listing Page

    Hi,
    I am fairly new to WordPress. I want to use this plugin to allow the end user to search jobs based on their selection from all the jobs posted by the admin.

    The default shortcode available [jobs] lists filters as well as the listings on the same page, but I want a search page which has only the filters. The user should be able to do his/her selection on the search page and upon submit should be shown results on a separate listings page.

    Any help will be much appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Dinesh

    It won’t do all of the filters, but you can have a separate search form (keyword, category, location) based on this code https://wpjobmanager.com/document/tutorial-creating-custom-job-search-form/

    Thanks

    Thanks Mike for quick response, but I didn’t quite understand how I can create a search form separately.
    Do I have to use [jobs] shortcode on both the pages? Request you to kindly elaborate a bit if it’s not much to ask; I am just a beginner exploring wordpress’ potential.

    Hi Mike,

    Suppose I create a separate page with a ABC form which accepts values from a user and submit the ABC form to the page which has [jobs] shortcode, how can I access the values submitted by the ABC form to fill the parameters of [jobs] shortcode.

    Also, can you kindly let know if it is possible to add custom filters to the job manager plugin? I tried finding this in the documentation but could not get it anywhere.

    Best Regards,

    No; 1 page will have [jobs], then your form will link to that page via the form action.

    Possible yes, but more advanced. I don’t have a tutorial for this currently.

    Thanks man! I actually got the first thing working prior to your reply. Thanks nevertheless ??

    And regarding additional filters:
    If I manage to add additional custom filters, can I use them as arguments to the shortcode [jobs] like we can use ‘categories’ and ‘job_types’?

    Basically the requirement here is to have extra multiselects like ‘categories’.

    So if it is possible to access custom made extra filters to use as arguments in the shortcode [jobs], I will dive deep and do it.

    I really appreciate your help man.

    Thanks,
    Dinesh C.

    Doesn’t look like thats possible right now (https://github.com/mikejolley/WP-Job-Manager/blob/master/includes/class-wp-job-manager-shortcodes.php#L193) to pass custom attributes in.

    Why do you need to pass extra things to the shortcode itself? If you need to do custom queries, wouldn’t it be better to do them directly? (using code and https://github.com/mikejolley/WP-Job-Manager/blob/master/wp-job-manager-functions.php#L9).
