LAPDI Events

LAPDI Events is a public and member-aware calendar plugin. It provides its own lapdi_event, lapdi_venue and lapdi_organizer administration types, reusable event categories/venues/organizers, one-time/daily/weekly/monthly recurrence, and List/Month/Day calendar views — with each event set to either Public or Members only visibility.

Features

• Reusable event categories, venues and organizers

• One-time, daily, weekly and monthly recurrence with configurable intervals, weekly weekdays, monthly ordinal weekdays and end dates

• Rolling planning window with the next four active meetings from each recurring series

• Linked meeting customization for titles, agendas, images, schedules, logistics, visibility, capacity, internal staff notes and follow-up posts

• Individual meeting cancellation without ending the parent series or deleting existing responses

• Accessible List, Month and Day views, with search and responsive mobile layouts

• Per-meeting Apple Calendar downloads and Google Calendar add-event links

• Stable unique event codes with optional meeting-specific overrides

• Locally generated event-website QR codes with SVG download

• Platform-aware venue address links (Apple Maps on Apple devices, Google Maps elsewhere)

• Per-event Public or Members only audience

• Published blog-post follow-ups for event recaps, photos and video

• Per-occurrence responses: Planning to attend or Unable to attend, with Attended set only by a staff door check-in

• Closed response controls after a meeting ends, with each signed-in user’s final status

• Per-event recording and photography notices with required attendee consent

• RSVP confirmation emails for new or changed attending responses, with resolved event details

• Branded HTML RSVP confirmation emails with a configurable logo and template

• Optional per-occurrence meeting capacity with live seat availability and overbooking protection

• Member-visible response lists with names and statuses, hidden from public viewers

• Administrative attendee log with response removal and check-in times

• Staff door check-in from a QR code in each RSVP confirmation email, generated on the site and valid only on the meeting day

• Per-meeting multiple-choice topic polls with shareable links and optional anonymous suggestions

• Event-grouped poll administration with rounded aggregate results and no voter identity display

• [lapdi_events] List/Month/Day calendar shortcode

• [lapdi_events_preview] public home-page preview shortcode

• Capability-based administration through manage_lapdi_events

• Members-only event visibility supports an optional membership access integration and otherwise remains limited to event administrators

• Idempotent importer from The Events Calendar — safe to re-run without duplicating already-imported records

• No public event archive, REST-exposed event details, or direct event permalinks

• Attach volunteers, moderators and facilitators to an event and log their hours per meeting date and role, in a generic “Volunteer roles” setting with no roles chosen by default

• A public function other plugins can call to log or update a person’s hours on an event date

• Totals-only database views for external reporting tools: monthly attendance, volunteer hours by month and by role, event counts by category, and feedback averages and response counts

Required framework and optional member integration

LAPDI Events requires TSP Easy Dev to be installed and active. WordPress will block LAPDI Events activation until that dependency is available and active.

LAPDI Chapters is optional. When it is active, an organizer that is hosted by us can be assigned to National or one of its chapters, and sites can rename National with the lapdi_events_national_label filter. Without it, there is no chapter choice and the organizer itself is the host.

An optional compatible membership integration can provide the access decision for “Members only” events. Without a compatible membership integration active, only users with manage_lapdi_events see Members-only events.
