详情介绍:
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
- 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.

安装:
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 #]

常见问题:
Are the knights on the scoreboard and the knights post type the same?

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?

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?

- 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?
