Thanks for the suggestion John – much appreciated. I have now changed to use in the way you have suggested. I no longer get errors, however it adds no post content. Any further ideas?

Create a normal WordPress page perhaps called Apply. Then in the WP Broadbean settings screen, choose that page from the drop down and save.

Copy the short code next to the drop in the settings screen and add this to the Apply page. This will generate an application form.

On your job templates (probably single-wpbb_job.php) you can use the following function to generate an apply URL that will direct people to the form with the appropriate information already complete.

wpbb_get_apply_url( $post_id );

The job data is stored as both post meta and also as custom taxonomies. The job category, job location and job type are stored as custom taxonomies. The custom taxonomy names are as follows:

• wpbb_job_category
• wpbb_job_location
• wpbb_job_type

These can be outputted on the front end using the following:

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/get_the_term_list

In terms of getting the other data this is stored as post meta against the job post in question. All the custom field keys are prefixed with _wpbb_. You will find the part after that by looking at the fields array here:

https://github.com/wpmark/wpbroadbean/blob/master/functions/metaboxes.php

Look for the id part of each array in the fields array to get the name. For example the key for job reference would therefore be:

_wpbb_job_reference

To output this (and others on the front end) I would try something like this:

<?php

	/* get the job reference */
	$wpmark_job_ref = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_wpbb_job_reference', true );

	/* check we have a job reference added */
	if( ! empty( $wpmark_job_ref ) ) {

		/* output the job reference */
		echo '<p class="job_meta job_ref">' . esc_html( $wpmark_job_ref ) . '</p>';

	}

?>

Hope that helps!

Yes that is correct you will need to create a template for your jobs archive and jobs single post pages. You should name these:

archive-wpbb_job.php
single-wpbb_job.php

Later version of the plugin will have template integration. Until then it is more a manual job I am afraid.

Try updating permalinks in the WordPress admin.

Yeh!! Pleased you have it working ??

When I vista the page you have linked above I get the correct wp_die() error message indicating the username and password do not match.

Therefore can I confirm that the XML being sent includes the username and password that you have set in the WP Broadbean settings page please?

Use POST for the request method. The plugin expects an XML feed to be posted to the processing page.

The job ID or reference can be anything you like, usually alpha numeric.

Tracking address should go to the <application_email> field. Email address will be in the From field.

If you want users to apply on your website then:

Will you be supporting an Applyonline URL?

Should be set to no. Aplitrak is supported and the XML field to send this to should be application_email field.

The following would be an example of the expected XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<job>
    <command>add</command>
    <username>XXXXXXXXX</username>
    <password>XXXXXXXXXX</password>
    <contact_name>Bob Smith</contact_name>
    <contact_email>[email protected]</contact_email>
    <application_email>[email protected]</application_email>
    <job_reference>ZZZZZZ</job_reference>
    <job_title>Another Test Engineer</job_title>
    <job_type>Contract</job_type>
    <job_duration>6 Months</job_duration>
    <job_startdate>ASAP</job_startdate>
    <job_description>This is the detailed description</job_description>
    <job_short_description>This is the short description</job_short_description>
    <job_location>London</job_location>
    <job_category>Marketing</job_category>
    <salary_currency>gbp</salary_currency>
    <salary>XXXXXX</salary>
    <salary_per>annum</salary_per>
    <featured_job>1</featured_job>
    <apply_with_linkedin>1</apply_with_linkedin>
</job>

This part of the Broadbean form is to tell Broadbean where to send the jobs to. This is the URL that is created by the plugin that accepts the job feed and creates a job post.

The URL you should enter into this part of the Broadbean form is as follows:

https://domain.com/?wpbb=broadbean

Obviously replacing domain.com for your actual domain name.

Thanks for those suggestions Ben – you have helped a great deal in solving the problem. You are indeed correct it was the $_POST check that was the problem.

I have now managed to get this working using $_SESSION instead. I have amended the Gist to show this:

https://gist.github.com/wpmark/7edc5bf6b2fb8297082b

Forgot to mention an example. You can see an example of the behaviour above here:

https://www.chefsjobsuk.com/jobs/

Search for jobs in the Midlands and it returns 3 pages of results. Click on page 2 and we just end up going back to the original post type archive query looking at page 2.

Trying defining the width of the images in the slider and the height in CSS. Something like this:

#featured-content img {
   width: 100%;
   height: auto;
}

You may have to target the CSS classes better though!

Sounds to me like this could a variable scope problem:

Perhaps you need to globalise the variable used by the widget ($report_data)
