Hi there, I noticed you commented on my thread that I self resolved and a mod closed it before you could get your answer.

If you’re still having problems, start a new thread and I’ll try and help you.

Right, the first field you need to edit is
includes/forms/class-wp-job-manager-form-submit-job.php

Around line 100 you need to add an array similar to the following (Use the other arrays on the file to give you an idea)

'application_deadline' => array(
					'label'       => __( 'Application Deadline', 'job_manager' ),
					'type'        => 'text',
					'required'    => true,
					'placeholder' => '',
					'priority'    => 7
				),

Make sure you have a different priority to the others.

Then around line 435 you need to add a line to put the form input into the database.

Add something like this:
update_post_meta( self::$job_id, '_application_deadline', $values['job']['application_deadline'] );

That should handle the adding the entry to the database side of things.

Now to add the function to get the element from the database.

Open up the file wp-job-manager-template.php

You can add this function to the bottom of the file:

/**
 * Display or retrieve the current application deadline with optional content.
 *
 * @access public
 * @param mixed $id (default: null)
 * @return void
 */
function the_application_deadline( $before = '', $after = '', $echo = true, $post = null ) {
	$application_deadline = get_the_application_deadline( $post );

	if ( strlen( $application_deadline ) == 0 )
		return;

	$application_deadline = esc_attr( strip_tags( $application_deadline ) );

	if ( $echo )
		echo $application_deadline;
	else
		return $application_deadline;
}

/**
 * get_the_application_deadline function.
 *
 * @access public
 * @param int $post (default: 0)
 * @return void
 */
function get_the_application_deadline( $post = null ) {
	$post = get_post( $post );
	if ( $post->post_type !== 'job_listing' )
		return;

	$application_deadline = $post->_application_deadline;

	if ( strlen( $application_deadline ) == 0 )
		return;

	if ( strpos( $application_deadline, '' ) === 0 )
		$application_deadline = substr( $application_deadline, 1 );

	return apply_filters( 'the_application_deadline', $application_deadline, $post );
}

Now you should just be able to add <?php the_application_deadline(); ?> to bring up the application deadline.

Just an advisory, I’m not a professional developer. You should look over my code, as I’ve mainly looked over current code and replicated it with minor changes.

Ah, I have fixed it. It’s a case of adding the function to wp-job-manager-template.php.

Alright, I’ve managed to get it to show up in the database with a meta key and meta value. I’m working on getting it to show up on the job listing now.
