[Plugin: Job Manager] Job title as the Subject

This will be possible in the next version:

https://code.google.com/p/wordpress-job-manager/issues/detail?id=155

Any prevision for the release date?

I found a little work around but it’s a bit jankey. I put in a section in the front end form for the applicant to put in the business name they are applying for. From there I can set the subject to be that field, would there be a way to do this in the mean time, until the next release comes out that is.

Gary, Thank you for getting back with me so quickly. I really appreciate it!

Unfortunately, there’s no release date at the moment – development has stalled a little due to other things taking priority. It isn’t abandoned, though! ??

As a temporary workaround for this, on line 873 of frontend-application.php, change:

$subject = $options['application_email_subject_text'];

to:

$subject = $job->post_title . ': ' . $options['application_email_subject_text'];

Note that you’ll need to re-apply this fix if there are any more 0.7.x releases between now and 0.8.

Thank you for getting back to me, I applied the fix and the subject line of the email came up as “: Job Application:”

Looks like for some reason its pulling the : into the subject line. Is there something I did wrong maybe?

Sorry, wrong instructions – I forgot that I changed how that code works. Undo that change, and make this one instead. On line 899 of frontent-application.php, replace:

$data = get_post( $parent );

with:

$data = get_post( $parent );
$subject = $data->post_title . ': ' . $subject;

Thank you Gary, you don’t know me, yet you take the time to help, that says a lot about your character. I’ll be checking out that Amazon wish list of yours.

Glad I could help. ??

Quite super. I guess all the contributions, remarks, questions and doubts are useful to develop a very good plugin. Thanks Gary. We are with U.
