Phase 3 Plan 4: Admin UI Enhancements Summary

WordPress admin moderation UI with custom columns (provider org, location, type, submission date), status filters with pending badge, and sortable fields

Performance

• Duration: 15 min
• Started: 2026-01-14T[execution-start]
• Completed: 2026-01-14T[execution-end]
• Tasks: 3
• Files modified: 3

Accomplishments

• Custom admin columns provide at-a-glance visibility into job submissions: provider organization + contact person, location, job type, and submission timestamp
• Status filter views (All, Ausstehend, Veröffentlicht, Entwurf) with count badges help admins quickly navigate to pending jobs needing review
• Sortable columns enable efficient moderation workflow by allowing admins to sort by date, location, or job type
• Admin-only hook loading ensures frontend performance by not loading unnecessary admin code

Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. Task 1: Add custom admin columns for job moderation - a9cb056 (feat)
2. Task 2: Add status filters and pending count badge - (included in Task 1 commit)
3. Task 3: Integrate admin UI enhancements into plugin - 797c8c7 (feat)

Plan metadata: [to be committed] (docs: complete admin UI enhancements plan)

Files Created/Modified

• includes/class-admin-ui.php - Admin UI enhancements class with custom columns, status filters, and sortable column handlers
• includes/class-ddhh-job-manager.php - Added admin UI hooks initialization (admin-only context)
• ddhh-job-manager.php - Required class-admin-ui.php in plugin bootstrap

Admin Interface Changes

The job_offer admin listing now displays:

Custom Columns:

• Anbieter (Provider): Organization name with contact person displayed below in smaller text (from user meta)
• Standort (Location): Job location from ACF field
• Art (Type): Job type with German labels (Vollzeit, Teilzeit, Ehrenamt)
• Eingereicht am (Submitted): Submission date in German format (dd.mm.YYYY HH:MM)

Status Filters:

• All (Alle) - Total count of all jobs
• Pending (Ausstehend) - Shows count badge, only visible when pending jobs exist
• Published (Veröffentlicht) - Published jobs count
• Draft (Entwurf) - Draft jobs count

Sortable Columns:

• Submission date, location, and job type can be sorted ascending/descending

Default WordPress columns (author, date) removed to reduce clutter and replaced with more relevant moderation info.

Decisions Made

1. Column selection: Chose to display provider org name + contact person together in one column rather than separate columns to save horizontal space while maintaining essential moderation context

2. Status filter visibility: Only show status filter links when posts exist in that status to avoid clutter when no drafts or pending items exist

3. Quick actions: Preserved WordPress default quick actions (Edit, Quick Edit, Trash) rather than adding custom "Approve" action. Admins can use Quick Edit to change status to "Publish" - familiar WordPress UX is better than custom action

4. Performance optimization: Wrapped admin hook initialization in is_admin() check to prevent loading admin column logic on frontend requests

5. Sortable ACF fields: Implemented sorting for ACF fields (job_location, job_type) via meta_key/meta_value query modifications in pre_get_posts hook

Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written.

Note: Task 2 (status filters and pending badge) was implemented in the same class file as Task 1, so both were committed together in the Task 1 commit. The plan's verification criteria were met for both tasks.

Issues Encountered

None. All ACF fields and user meta fields were available from prior phases as expected. WordPress admin hooks worked as documented.

Next Phase Readiness

• Admin moderation interface complete and functional
• Phase 3 (Job Management Core) complete
• Ready to proceed to Phase 4: Job Deactivation System
• All admin moderation tools in place for efficient job review workflow
