This is a little beyond the free support I can offer here as it is altering the plugins behaviour. However Version 2, hopefully out by the end of the month will make this sort of thing much easier.
Take a look at this blog post for more information: http://markwilkinson.me/2014/12/wp-broadbean-v2-0-coming-soon/
So it isn’t as simple as just adding the field to metaboxes.php, damn.
V2 looks exactly what I need. I look forward to its release.
You can do that of course and it will work on the WordPress side of things – in fact it will be even easier with the new version. However the plugin does not control what gets sent to your WordPress site from Broadbean (it can’t) and therefore if you want to add new fields you would need to contact Broadbean to get them to send that part of the XML.
I have been talking with broadbean, they wanted me to send over a XML node so I sent them this –
<job_location_tags>Reading</job_location_tags>
They said that was fine and I needed to set up a free text field. So I figured if I copied the salary meta box –
'salary' => array(
'name' => 'Salary',
'id' => $wpbb_prefix . 'job_salary',
'type' => 'text',
'cols' => 4
),
and replaced the id a renamed the field it might work, heres what I added:
` ‘location_tags’ => array(
‘name’ => ‘job_location_tags’,
‘id’ => $wpbb_prefix . ‘job_location_tags’,
‘type’ => ‘text’,
‘cols’ => 4
),
I added this into the same array as salary, contact email and linkedin in metabox.php
I hoped it might work, Broadbean uploaded a test job this morning to test it but nothing came through to the field I set up. Was that a long the right lines?
I don’t mind waiting till V2 its more curiosity now than anything.
Never mind got it working!
