## Popis

GroupEntry helps organizers manage group registrations for a whole event or for 
scheduled arrival times. One contact person enters participant names and receives
an email with a private link to manage the registration. Time-slot events also ask
the contact person to choose an arrival time. Staff check in the whole group from
a mobile-friendly page.

Use it for workshops, community events, group visits and other activities where 
participant capacity and arrival times matter.

#### Registration and capacity

 * Choose registration for the whole event or for individual time slots.
 * Configure one event with its date, start and end times and time zone. Time-slot
   events also have a slot duration.
 * Set total participant capacity for the whole event, or capacity per time slot,
   and the maximum number of participants per registration.
 * Collect participant ages and set age limits when needed; age collection is off
   by default.
 * Let participants edit or cancel through their private email link before the original
   reserved slot starts and before check-in.
 * Choose immediate confirmation or administrator approval. Pending registrations
   reserve places; rejection or cancellation releases them.

The contact person occupies a place only if also listed as a participant. The event
starts and finishes on the same calendar date. Whole-event registration uses one
shared capacity without a time selector or slot-length limit. Time-slot registration
supports up to 100 complete slots, each 5–240 minutes long. Registration and participant
changes close when the event starts in whole-event mode, or when the reserved slot
starts in time-slot mode. Registration mode and event schedule cannot change while
registration records exist. Registration groups can contain 1–100 participants, 
subject to the organizer’s chosen maximum.

#### Check-in and administration

 * Give staff access through a shared code or a WordPress account with the GroupEntry
   check-in staff role.
 * Check in the whole registration and undo a check-in when needed.
 * Use compact registration cards or an expandable list with filters and search.
 * Manage registrations, approve or reject pending requests and resend registration
   emails.
 * Export registrations and participant details to CSV.
 * Customize page colors, introduction text and email instructions. Both email types
   have live previews.

Check-in staff can see participant names, optional ages, reserved times and attendance.
Settings, approval/rejection and exports are administrator functions; check-in staff
cannot see contact email addresses.

#### Languages

GroupEntry is translation-ready. Available translations are downloaded and updated
separately by WordPress through translate.wordpress.org; language catalogs are not
included in the plugin ZIP. Availability depends on translations being submitted
and approved for the selected language.

The public form and system email text follow the WordPress site language; the administration
interface follows the user’s WordPress language. Original default introduction and
confirmation-email text display in the current language when a language pack is 
available. Exact translated defaults saved by earlier builds can be recognized from
installed language packs. Organizer-edited texts stay as entered. CSV headings are
translated, while stored status identifiers remain unchanged.

Contribute translations through the plugin’s project on translate.wordpress.org 
after publication. GroupEntry currently uses one set of organizer texts per event
and has no visitor language switcher.

#### Privacy and data retention

Choose how many days to keep registration data after the event ends. Daily scheduled
cleanup removes registrations, participants and check-in activity after that period
and closes registration. Its actual run depends on site traffic or hosting cron.

The registration-page privacy notice automatically includes a sentence with the 
saved retention period and an explanation of scheduled cleanup and separate copies.
Organizers write their own privacy information without entering a retention period
or template variable. The settings preview responds immediately to edits; public
text uses the saved settings. Existing organizer text is preserved: review it once
and remove any old retention sentence. Previously saved {retention_days} markers
remain supported for compatibility. Separately published policies, emails and other
copies require manual review.

GroupEntry integrates with WordPress personal-data export and erasure tools and 
supplies suggested privacy-policy text for the organizer to review. Requests use
the contact email and apply to entire group registrations. Individual participant
requests require organizer review because participant email addresses are not stored.

Registration data stays in the site’s database. The plugin adds no analytics, payment
processor or external booking service. Email delivery uses the site’s normal WordPress
mail configuration. Emails, downloaded exports and backups are separate copies with
their own retention policies.

## Inštalácia

 1. Upload groupentry-1.0.6.zip through Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin and activate.
 2. Open GroupEntry. When no valid registration page is selected, Settings opens with
    Page setup first. Follow its four-step Getting started guide.
 3. Create a published registration page with a Shortcode block containing [groupentry_registration].
 4. For a separate staff check-in screen, create a published page with a Shortcode 
    block containing [groupentry_checkin]. Reload GroupEntry after publishing pages.
 5. Open GroupEntry > Settings. Enter the event details, choose the registration page
    and supply organizer contact details and a privacy notice.
 6. Choose whole-event or time-slot registration, then set capacity, maximum group 
    size, any age rules, confirmation mode and data retention.
 7. Open Staff access and set a shared code, or create WordPress users with the GroupEntry
    check-in staff role.
 8. Save the settings, enable Registration open for a test, and verify email delivery
    and a complete registration/check-in flow before sharing the public page.

Requirements: single-site WordPress 6.5+, PHP 8.1+, MySQL/MariaDB with InnoDB, REST
API and JavaScript. Staff code access requires HTTPS except for local testing. Exclude
the registration and check-in pages and GroupEntry REST routes (/groupentry/v1/)
from page/CDN caching.

Registration is closed after a new installation. Defaults are an event one week 
ahead, 13:00–17:00, 30-minute slots, 30 participants per slot, up to 10 participants
per registration and a 30-day retention period. Organizer contact and privacy information
must be completed before registration opens.

## Časté otázky

### Can I require payment before confirming a registration?

Yes, using administrator approval. Enter your payment instructions in the awaiting-
confirmation email. The organizer checks payment outside GroupEntry and then confirms
or rejects the registration. GroupEntry does not process or verify payments. Pending
requests reserve capacity and do not expire automatically; review unpaid requests
to release their places.

Changing confirmation mode does not change existing statuses. In manual mode, participant
edits return a confirmed registration to pending; administrator edits preserve its
current status. Approval and rejection are available only for pending registrations,
and check-in requires a confirmed registration.

### Can participants manage their own registration?

The contact person receives a private email link to view, edit or cancel the group
registration. Changes are available before the original reserved time starts and
before check-in. Do not share this link. Approval and resending an email generate
a replacement management link; the previous link stops working even if sending the
new email fails.

### Does the contact person count toward capacity?

Only when entered in the participant list. Capacity counts named participants, and
check-in applies to the entire group rather than individual participants.

### Can I run several events at once?

This version manages one event at a time. To reuse it, close registration and remove
the previous event’s registrations before configuring the next event. Date, hours,
time zone and participant rules remain locked while any registrations exist, including
cancelled registrations. Capacity can change if it stays at least equal to existing
reservations in every slot.

### How do time zones and daylight saving time work?

The initial event zone follows WordPress and is then saved separately. Choose a 
named city group for automatic daylight saving adjustments. Cities are grouped only
when their known clock changes agree for the event and the following ten years. 
A saved fixed UTC offset is preserved and labelled; it does not adjust for daylight
saving. An event crossing a clock change is rejected; choose different hours.

### Why has automatic deletion not happened at the exact deadline?

The retention period starts at the event’s end time in its saved time zone. Cleanup
checks once a day through WP-Cron, which normally runs when the site receives traffic.
A check before the deadline can leave data until the next check. Use hosting cron
if you need scheduled tasks to run independently of traffic. Cleanup requires an
active plugin; deactivation or removal stops its scheduled cleanup. Reactivation
resumes it and can remove overdue data.

Cleanup preserves event settings and time slot definitions. Emails, CSV/ZIP downloads
and hosting backups are separate copies. Manual removal is available in Remove data
after registration closes and requires typing DELETE.

### What if registration email delivery fails?

The booking or administrator decision remains saved. Check the email status, verify
your WordPress mail setup and use Resend email after fixing delivery. An accepted
sending status does not prove inbox delivery. If a submission times out, retry the
same form before refreshing so it keeps its request identifier.

### How does staff access work?

Staff can use the [groupentry_checkin] page with a WordPress staff account or a 
shared access code. Shared codes do not identify individual operators in activity
records; use individual accounts when attribution matters. Code sessions last up
to 12 hours. Changing or disabling the code signs out existing code sessions.

Administrators can see the saved staff code on the Staff access tab. A legacy hash-
only code needs to be re-entered once to enable its display. Changing WordPress 
authentication keys can make the encrypted display unreadable; re-entering the code
restores it.

### How do WordPress privacy requests work?

Use Tools > Export Personal Data or Tools > Erase Personal Data. GroupEntry also
links to these tools from Settings. WordPress handles the request confirmation, 
capability and nonce checks.

For a contact email, export includes complete group registrations and participant
details across all statuses. Erasure removes those entire registrations, participants
and related activity/check-in records, releases capacity and invalidates private
links without sending a registration email. Review the requester’s entitlement and
group scope before processing a request. Individual participants without a stored
contact email need organizer identity and group review.

For a matching WordPress staff account, export includes that user’s activity without
disclosing other groups‘ participant names or emails. Erasure anonymizes staff identity
while preserving the groups and attendance. Shared-code activity cannot be matched
to an individual worker. Security hashes, private tokens and staff codes are excluded
from exports. Failed processing batches are rolled back and reported for retry. 
WordPress accounts, emails, downloaded exports and backups are separate and are 
not removed by a GroupEntry privacy request.

### What happens when I delete the plugin?

Data is kept by default, including when older saved settings have no uninstall option.
Deactivation and updates preserve data. To remove GroupEntry data permanently, enable
the removal option in Settings > Uninstalling GroupEntry, save it, then deactivate
and delete the plugin through WordPress.

Opted-in uninstall removes GroupEntry tables, options, database-backed staff sessions
and plugin-specific roles/capabilities. WordPress accounts, other roles, pages, 
posts, other plugins, emails, exports and backups remain. Users with only the GroupEntry
role are left without a site role. Staff sessions in an external object cache cannot
be enumerated and expire within 12 hours; deleting the access code immediately prevents
their use. Remove unused shortcodes from pages yourself.

### What platforms have been tested?

Functional and language tests passed on WordPress 6.5 with PHP 8.1 and 8.3, and 
WordPress 7.1.3 with PHP 8.1; the ongoing development baseline also used WordPress
7.1.3 with PHP 8.3. Database testing used MariaDB 10.11.14 with InnoDB. The single-
site plugin has also been tested on a separate live hosting installation. This does
not cover every hosting, theme, browser, database version or caching configuration.
