Phase 3 Plan 1: Job Submission Form Summary

Formidable job submission form with 7 fields creating pending job_offer posts mapped to ACF fields

Performance

• Duration: 15 min
• Started: 2026-01-14T10:30:00Z
• Completed: 2026-01-14T10:45:00Z
• Tasks: 2
• Files modified: 2

Accomplishments

• Created Formidable job submission form programmatically with key 'job_submission'
• Configured 7 fields with German labels: title, description, location, type, deadline, email, logo
• Set up Create Post action to create job_offer posts with pending status
• Mapped all form fields to corresponding ACF fields
• Integrated form into provider dashboard above job listings table
• Added visual styling to separate form section from listings

Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. Task 1: Create Formidable job submission form with ACF field mapping - 650c7b0 (feat)
2. Task 2: Add form to provider dashboard with access control - 600e355 (feat)

Files Created/Modified

• includes/class-formidable.php - Added create_job_submission_form() method with 7 fields (title, description, location, type, deadline, email, logo), Create Post action configuration, and get_job_submission_form_id() helper
• templates/provider-dashboard.php - Added job submission form section above listings table with visual separation styling (gray background, padding, border-radius)

Technical Details

Form Structure:

• Form key: 'job_submission'
• Submit button: "Stellenangebot einreichen"
• Success message: "Ihr Stellenangebot wurde zur Prüfung eingereicht!"
• Success action: Redirect to /anbieter-dashboard/
• Form description: "Alle Felder mit * sind Pflichtfelder. Ihr Angebot wird vor Veröffentlichung geprüft."

Field Mappings:

• job_title (text, required) → post_title
• job_description (textarea, required) → post_content
• job_location (text, required) → meta:job_location
• job_type (select, required) → meta:job_type (choices: Vollzeit, Teilzeit, Ehrenamt)
• job_deadline (date, optional, format: d.m.Y) → meta:job_deadline
• job_contact_email (email, required) → meta:job_contact_email
• job_logo (file, optional, accept: image/jpeg, image/png, max: 2MB) → meta:job_logo

Create Post Action Configuration:

• Post type: job_offer
• Post status: pending (enforces admin moderation)
• Post author: current_user (providers own their submissions)
• All ACF fields mapped via post_custom_fields array

Decisions Made

Form creation pattern: Used same duplicate-prevention pattern as registration form - check for existing form by key before creating. This prevents multiple forms on plugin reactivation.

Field ID storage: Stored field IDs in array immediately after creation to use in Create Post action configuration. This ensures correct field-to-meta mappings.

Static caching: Added static property for job_submission_form_id following existing pattern from registration form for consistent performance optimization.

Dashboard integration: Placed form above job listings table rather than below to make it prominent for providers creating their first job. Added visual separation with background color and padding.

Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written.

Issues Encountered

None - implementation proceeded smoothly following established Formidable patterns from Phase 02-01.

Next Phase Readiness

Ready for 03-02 (job edit form). Job submission form is functional and creates pending job_offer posts with all ACF fields populated. Providers can now submit jobs from their dashboard. Edit functionality is the natural next step for managing existing submissions.
