Include Deactivate Listing in Job Actions

[Scotm19]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Employers often need to remove job listings for various reasons, but the only option they have is to Delete a job from their jobs dashboard.

Describe the solution you'd like

Include an action in the jobs dashboard menu that allows employers to deactivate a job listing (sending the listing to Draft status).

this is a long awaited function but still not included. I recently got this to work. Just put this into your functions.php

`<?php
/**

• Function to add deactivate Button toJob Dashboard
• Works with WP Job Manager 2.4.0 and WC Paid Listings 3.0.3
  */

// add Button
add_action('job_manager_my_job_actions', 'custom_add_deactivate_button', 10, 2);
function custom_add_deactivate_button($actions, $job) {
if ($job->post_status === 'publish') {
// Basie-URL Dashboards
$dashboard_url = get_permalink(get_option('job_manager_job_dashboard_page_id'));

    // URLwith correct parameters
    $actions['deactivate'] = array(
        'label' => __('Deactivate', 'wp-job-manager'),
        'url'   => add_query_arg(array(
            'action' => 'deactivate',
            'job_id' => $job->ID
        ), $dashboard_url)
    );
}
return $actions;

}

// prepare deactivate
add_action('wp', 'custom_process_job_deactivation');
function custom_process_job_deactivation() {
if (!isset($_GET['action']) || $_GET['action'] !== 'deactivate') {
return;
}

if (empty($_GET['job_id'])) {
    return;
}

$job_id = absint($_GET['job_id']);

// check permission
$job = get_post($job_id);
if (!$job || $job->post_author != get_current_user_id()) {
    wp_die(__('You do not have the permission to deactivate', 'wp-job-manager'));
}

// update Job Status
wp_update_post(array(
    'ID' => $job_id,
    'post_status' => 'expired'
));

// WC Paid Listings 
if (class_exists('WC_Paid_Listings')) {
    delete_post_meta($job_id, '_package_id');
    delete_post_meta($job_id, '_package_subscription_id');
    delete_post_meta($job_id, '_featured');
}

// clear Cache
clean_post_cache($job_id);

// redirect to job dashboard
wp_redirect(add_query_arg('msg', 'deactivated', get_permalink(get_option('job_manager_job_dashboard_page_id'))));
exit;

}

// success message
add_action('job_manager_job_dashboard_before', 'custom_show_deactivation_notice');
function custom_show_deactivation_notice() {
if (isset($GET['msg']) && $GET['msg'] === 'deactivated') {
echo '

' .
esc_html('Success.', 'wp-job-manager') .
'

';
}
}`

hey, great, thanks, I have adopted it and it works just fine, it should find its way into the core, very helpful.

Here the WPML adapted version, remains in the current language:

/**

• Function to add deactivate Button to Job Dashboard

• Works with WP Job Manager 2.4.0 and WC Paid Listings 3.0.3
  */
  // Add Deactivate Button
  add_action('job_manager_my_job_actions', 'custom_add_deactivate_button', 10, 2);
  function custom_add_deactivate_button($actions, $job) {
  if ($job->post_status === 'publish') {
  // Base URL Dashboard
  $dashboard_url = get_permalink(get_option('job_manager_job_dashboard_page_id'));

   // Add Button with correct parameters
   $actions['deactivate'] = array(
       'label' => __('Deactivate', 'wp-job-manager'),
       'url'   => add_query_arg(array(
           'action' => 'deactivate',
           'job_id' => $job->ID
       ), $dashboard_url)
   );
  

  }
  return $actions;
  }

// Prepare Deactivate
add_action('wp', 'custom_process_job_deactivation');
function custom_process_job_deactivation() {
if (!isset($_GET['action']) || $_GET['action'] !== 'deactivate') {
return;
}

if (empty($_GET['job_id'])) {
    return;
}

$job_id = absint($_GET['job_id']);

// Check Permission
$job = get_post($job_id);
if (!$job || $job->post_author != get_current_user_id()) {
    wp_die(__('You do not have the permission to deactivate', 'wp-job-manager'));
}

// Update Job Status
wp_update_post(array(
    'ID' => $job_id,
    'post_status' => 'expired'
));

// WC Paid Listings cleanup
if (class_exists('WC_Paid_Listings')) {
    delete_post_meta($job_id, '_package_id');
    delete_post_meta($job_id, '_package_subscription_id');
    delete_post_meta($job_id, '_featured');
}

// Clear Cache
clean_post_cache($job_id);

// Redirect to the job dashboard in the current language
$dashboard_url = get_permalink(get_option('job_manager_job_dashboard_page_id'));
if (function_exists('icl_get_current_language')) {
    $current_language = icl_get_current_language();
    $dashboard_url = apply_filters('wpml_permalink', $dashboard_url, $current_language);
}

wp_redirect(add_query_arg('msg', 'deactivated', $dashboard_url));
exit;

}

// Success Message
add_action('job_manager_job_dashboard_before', 'custom_show_deactivation_notice');
function custom_show_deactivation_notice() {
if (isset($GET['msg']) && $GET['msg'] === 'deactivated') {
echo '

' .
esc_html('Job successfully deactivated.', 'wp-job-manager') .
'

';
}
}
