External link from Job Listing

Ciao @biomeglio,

I think I get what you’re asking. Can you take a look at this other similar forum thread and let us know if that helps?

Keep in mind that assisting with customization is outside of the scope of the support that we can offer, per our Support Policy. If you need extra help, you can search for development help in a variety of places, and we can suggest some of the companies our users have been happy with ??

have you a solution?

Hey @biomeglio,

The solution I thought about is the same shared on this forum thread:

You can copy the template file and override it as described here: https://wpjobmanager.com/document/template-overrides/
Then replace that PHP code with the link to the company page. If it is several different company pages, you would need to write your own PHP function to pull the company page.

We have a list of template tags here:
https://wpjobmanager.com/document/template-tags/

To get the company website, you will want to use:?get_the_company_website()

Can you let me know if this is what you’re looking for, and if it works out for you?

I can assure you that it doesn’t work like this, several people have tried in other threads where this modification is suggested but everything crashes. with php it’s not enough to change a link to make it work. the whole string is needed here.

and honestly I’m surprised that Automattic isn’t able to provide a minimum amount of support on these features, they are minimal additional things that need to be foreseen in my opinion

Hi there, @biomeglio,

You may want to try?the get_the_job_application_method()
and use something like the following:

<a href="<?php echo esc_url( get_the_job_application_method()->url ); ?>"

While I can’t stress enough that this sort of customisation goes beyond the scope of our support, note that you need to check if the application method is not empty and its type is indeed ‘url’.

The?job-application.php?and?job-application-url.php?templates provide some examples.

To clarify any confusion around how to output the URL, in case you struggle with PHP, the following template has some examples you can check:?content-single-job_listing.php?

?php if ( $website = get_the_company_website() ) : ?

Thank you very much, I tried it and it works. if I click on a single job I access the application URL directly, bypassing the single job page, which is not deleted. but the logo image on the left disappears and an empty space is created. How do I show the image too?

Hello @biomeglio!

I’m not sure I can see the problem anymore on that page, but that sounds like an issue with the HTML structure. I’d check if all tags are closed correctly and elements are nested where it should be.

You might also need to tweak the CSS for the pages.

Note that while we are equipped and happy to provide guidance on how to customize the plugin, as Stef said earlier that’s about the limit of support we can do in this forum.
