## Descripció

Knights of Columbus – State is a WordPress plugin built specifically for Knights
of Columbus State Councils. It provides a directory and scoreboard system for managing
and displaying Councils, Assemblies and individual Knights on your state council
website.

Originally built for the Utah Knights of Columbus State Council, it is freely available
to any KofC state council website running WordPress.

#### Who Is This For?

This plugin is designed for Knights of Columbus State Council websites. If you manage
a state council website and need a directory of councils and assemblies, a recruiting
scoreboard or a Star Council tracking page, this plugin was built for you.

#### How It Works

The plugin adds three custom post types — Councils, Assemblies, and Knights — each
with their own pages and built-in contact forms so visitors can reach out directly.
Shortcodes let you display council and assembly directories, recruiting scoreboards
by knight, council, or district, and Star Council requirement tracking anywhere 
on your site.

#### Features

 * Council, Assembly, and Knight custom post types with individual pages
 * Built-in contact/email forms on each page with spam protection via hCaptcha
 * Shortcode for displaying a council directory as a table or visual box list
 * Shortcode for displaying an assembly directory as a table or visual box list
 * Recruiting scoreboard shortcode — display by knight, council, or district
 * Star Council requirements scoreboard shortcode
 * Inbound messages stored in the admin for easy reference
 * Configurable number of districts to match your state council’s structure

#### Use Cases

 * Council Directory — Display all councils and assemblies in your state with individual
   pages that includes a contact form.
 * Recruiting Scoreboard — Track and publicly display recruiting numbers by individual
   knight, council, or district to encourage friendly competition and recognize 
   top recruiters.
 * Star Council Tracker — Show which Star Council program requirements each council
   has completed, keeping the whole state informed and motivated.
 * Member Contact — The knight post type generates a page that includes a built-
   in contact form so prospective members and the public can reach out easily.

## Instal·lació

After activating go to the settings page. Here you can set the number of districts
you have. To enable spam reduction on the email forms, Google reCaptcha keys are
required. Links to the settings page are under Settings in the admin and on the 
plugins page. The admin menu will have the two new post types in the main admin 
menu along with the Scoreboard and Inbound Messages menu items.

#### Knight and Council Pages

Once you create a knight or council post, you can link it to its page: http://[site.
domain]/knight/[post-title] http://[site.domain]/council/[council #] http://[site.
domain]/assembly/[assembly #]

## PMF

### Are the knights on the scoreboard and the knights post type the same?

 * No. They are separate. The Knight post type is for the directory and stores more
   detailed information with its own page and contact form. The knights used in 
   the scoreboard are only for tracking and displaying recruiting numbers.

### Will there be a council finder for prospective and new members?

 * Yes, a council finder is planned for a future version.

### Can you make creating state office holders and program directors lists that use the knight post type?

 * Yes, lists for state office holders and program directors using the Knight post
   type are also planned.
    directory and scoreboard system.

### Is this plugin only for state councils or can local councils use it too?

 * The knights post type and knights scoreboard could be used by councils, but it
   is not designed for that.

### Does it work with any WordPress theme?

 * Yes. The frontend pages are designed to be theme independent and will inherit
   your theme’s basic styling. Table shortcodes use your theme’s table styles. Additional
   CSS customization is always possible.

### How do I set up spam protection on the contact forms?

 * The plugin uses hCaptcha for spam reduction on all email contact forms. You will
   need a free hCaptcha account to get your site key and secret key, which are entered
   on the plugin settings page. If those keys are not entered, the hCaptcha is disabled.

### What was in version 1.0?

 * The first version was only a scoreboard under a different name. It was not publicly
   released and was only used on the Utah Knights of Columbus website. Version 2.0
   expanded it into a full
