Installation Requirements

• Frontity installation requirements
• WP Job Openings Plugin
• An add-on(plugin) for WP Job Openings plugin or custom functions added in theme's fuctions.php file to expose application form and other fields to WP REST API. You can use WP Job Openings REST API (Example) Plugin for reference.

Setup Package

1. Install the package

   npm i @awsmin/frontity-wp-job-openings
   

2. Add it to Frontity Settings

   Add the package to frontity.settings.js inside the packages array.

   const settings = {
       ...
       "packages": [
           ...
           // If no settings need to be added.
           "@awsmin/frontity-wp-job-openings",
   
           // If you want to add settings.
           {
               "name": "@awsmin/frontity-wp-job-openings",
               // Add your settings here.
           },
           ...
       ]
   };
   
   export default settings;
   

3. Configure the slug (Optional)

   When you access /jobs (after you run npx frontity dev command) you will get all the job listings. If you have used different slug for the archive page then you have to configure the slug setting in frontity.settings.js. For example, if you have used a slug careers instead of jobs:

   const settings = {
       ...
       "packages": [
           ...
           {
               "name": "@awsmin/frontity-wp-job-openings",
               "state": {
                   "awsmjobs": {
                       "slug": "careers"
                   }
               }
           }
           ...
       ]
   };
   
   export default settings;
   

That's it! Now, when you run the npx frontity dev command you can access the job listings from the jobs archive page(e.g. /jobs). You can use WP Job Openings REST API (Example) Plugin for retrieving job specifications and using it in your frontity theme package.

Application Submission

Errors

Success

Application View (WordPress)

Limitations

Currently, the form submission doesn't use the WP REST API. It uses the admin-ajax.php URL.

CORS Issue

Since, we use the admin-ajax.php URL, you may encounter the CORS Issue. An error: TypeError: NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource. will be thrown in the console and the Cross-Origin request will be blocked.

Solution:

You can use the allowed_http_origins filter hook to add allowed HTTP origins. For example:

function awsm_allowed_http_origins( $origins ) {
    $origins[] = 'https://example.com';
    return $origins;
}
add_filter( 'allowed_http_origins', 'awsm_allowed_http_origins' );
