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.

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
Plain per-date totals tables for attendance, volunteer hours and feedback, which a reporting tool can add up by month

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.
