Hi Minesh

So this is what should be happening (refer back to the private post if you need to check the urls)

1) I create a job post using the cred form embedded in the /create-job page
2) I fill in all the fields in this from- title, overview etc and add an expiry date using the generic field (see screenshot)
3) When I hit submit the job is posted to the the list on the /internal-vacancies page
4) When the expiry date (that I previously set) passes the job post is deleted so it no longer shows on the /internal-vacancies page

Note - The code that you previously suggested to go in functions.php has been added to a plugin which is activated

Thanks

I think you mark this ticket resolved by mistake.

I'm about to resolve your issue but I need FTP access details temporarily. Could you please share FTP access details so that I should be able to fix the issue.

Please follow following steps:

Remove this code from your current theme's functions.php file:

add_action('cred_save_data', 'my_save_data_action',10,2);
function my_save_data_action($post_id, $form_data){
	// if a specific form
	if ($form_data['id']==7067){
        $expiry_date = $_POST['_cred_post_expiration_time']['timestamp'];
            update_post_meta($post_id, '_cred_post_expiration_time', $expiry_date );
    }
}

Once you remove this coded, please let me know. Site will be start functioning again.

Thanks Minesh,

So I...

1) deleted the code from my Jobs Expiry plugin
2) Took the code that you added to my functions.php (we not allowed to modify the functions.php in production) and moved it into my Jobs Expiry plugin

I've created a test job to run overnight . Hopefully this should work now - i'll let you know

Great!!

Even to test what you can do is:
=> Create a new job
=> select expiration date = yesterday , that is 4th july, 26016
=> Wait for 2 mins
=> Check your view after 2 mins, that newly created job will not be displayed on view job listing page

I hope above solution will help you to resolve your issue.

That all seems to be working now - thanks for all your help with this!

One last question - how do I make the generic post expiry field in the cred form required?

Glad to hear that now fix is working. Glad to help.

You can set "required":1, to make the generic field required
and "required":0, to make it not required.
