Parameters

More information

The filter is passed the array of arguments used by wp_insert_post and therefore any of these arguments can be used.

Example usage

Ensure newly created JobRelay jobs are in draft

If you want to ensure that jobs created by JobRelay are set to a post status of draft rather than publish, the following code achieves this.

The code can be placed in a plugin, or in your themes functions.php file.

<?php
/**
 * Alters the args passed to wp_insert_post when a job is created.
 *
 * @param array $args The args passed to wp_insert_post.
 * @param array $data The job data sent to the site.
 *
 * @return array      The modified args.
 */
function hd_jobrelay_edit_insert_job_post_args( $args, $data ) {

	// set the post status to draft.
	$args['post_status'] = 'draft';

	// return the args.
	return $args;

}

add_filter( 'jobrelay_wpcon_insert_job_post_args', 'hd_jobrelay_edit_insert_job_post_args', 20, 2 );

In addition to this, you will also need to ensure that when JobRelay checks for an existing job with the same reference (so as not to duplicate the job post) it checks for draft jobs to.

The following function will achieve this.

<?php
/**
 * Ensures that when checking for existing jobs with a reference
 * that we check for both draft and published jobs.
 *
 * @param array  $args The arguments to pass to the get_posts function.
 * @param string $ref The reference to search for.
 *
 * @return array
 */
function hd_jobrelay_edit_get_job_by_reference_args( $args, $ref ) {

	// set the post status to draft and publish.
	$args['post_status'] = [ 'draft', 'publish' ];

	// return the args.
	return $args;

}

add_filter( 'jobrelay_wpcon_get_job_by_reference_args', 'hd_jobrelay_edit_get_job_by_reference_args', 10, 2 );
