Hi Kiran,

I need to do it programmatically as part of a snippet. I’ve got a job CPT, and I’ve written some code that records the job id if a worker applies to that job. As the final part of this I want to list the jobs that a worker has applied to in their profile. My plan was just to do an “echo do_shortcode[gd_listings]” and specify the listing ID, but since this isn’t possible I’ll have to add the tag programmatically and specify it that way.

Is there a way to add a tag programmatically?

Thanks 🙂
Alex

Cool, thanks drashida, that seems like a good way to make it work 🙂

Do you know if there’s a way to add a unique tag programmatically?

Thanks, I think my snippet wasn’t being called because the user claiming the listing wasn’t verifying by email, I was just approving the claim in the back end.

If anyone else is interested in doing this I’ve posted my code below.

add_action('geodir_claim_request_status_change', 'change_user_role_when_claim_farm', 10, 3);

function change_user_role_when_claim_farm( $claim_id, $new_status, $old_status ) {  
  	$claim_info = geodir_claim_get_info( $claim_id );
  	
  	if ($claim_info) {	  
  		$post_id = (int)$claim_info->list_id;
	    $claimed_post_type = get_post_type($post_id);
	  	$author_id = (int)$claim_info->user_id;
	    $new_owner = get_userdata($author_id);	 
	  	$new_owner_roles = $new_owner->roles;
  
    	if ($claimed_post_type == 'gd_farm') {	 
		  
			if ($new_status == 1) {
			  
	  			if (in_array('employer', $new_owner_roles)){
				  
	  				$new_owner->set_role( 'employer_has_farm' );
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

Ok, thanks 🙂

After some digging around I think geodir_save_post_meta is what I’m looking for.

Thanks Paolo, I’ll take a look at that.

I’m currently also writing a snippet to change user role when they claim a listing and admin approves it. I’m hooking to the action geodir_claim_request_status_change, but currently the function isn’t even being called.

Am I correct in thinking that geodir_claim_request_status_change is called when a) a user claims a listing, b) admin approves the listing claim, and c) if a user deletes their listing claim, or is this incorrect?

Is there a way to force users to link a CPT on the add listing form (if the CPT is linked)? I.e. to make the “Link CPT” field non-optional?
