## Description

GreenRoom streamlines bio collection for theaters to use in show programs and online.
Simply create a show, and import the cast and staff list. Each person receives a
unique link to submit their bio, social media info, and headshot.

Producers or stage managers can manage the show through a public production dashboard
without needing admin access, and will receive regular updates about who has and
has not submitted their bio.

As bios are submitted, they can be displayed on the show’s web page with an easy
shortcode insertion.

Once the deadline is reached, all bios can be easily exported to common formats,
including Word and Adobe InDesign Tagged Text with paragraph and character style
definitions.

**Key Features**

 * CSV import of cast and staff (name, email, role, designation)
 * Unique token-based submission links (no WordPress account needed for show personnel)
 * Public production dashboard for production team to manage the show’s personnel
 * Drag-and-drop reordering for “In Order of Appearance” cast listings
 * Configurable bio length limits (words or characters)
 * Optional headshot upload with print-quality dimension validation
 * Customizable email templates for invitations, reminders, confirmations, producer
   status updates, and playbill editor notices
 * Public bio display via `[greenroom show="slug"]` shortcode
 * Export bios in HTML, Markdown, RTF, DOCX, InDesign Tagged Text, or CSV
 * Export a simple tab-delimited Cast List (name and role) for sound, stage management,
   or paging use — includes everyone in the show, bio or no bio
 * Export a Contact List CSV of the full roster (names, pronouns, email, roles) 
   for production staff — no bio content included
 * Export headshots ZIP
 * Configurable formatting rules for name, role, pronouns

## Installation

 1. Upload the `greenroom` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install via **Plugins
    Add New  Upload Plugin**.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.
 3. Navigate to **GreenRoom  Settings** to configure formatting options and bio limits.
 4. Create your first show under **GreenRoom  Shows**.

## FAQ

### How do submitters access their bio form?

Each person added to a show receives a unique URL containing an authentication token.
Share these via the invitation email feature or manually from the People list.

### How do producers manage their show?

When a show is created, a unique production link is generated. Share this with the
producer or production team — they can manage cast and staff, send invitations and
reminders, and export bios without needing a WordPress login.

### What CSV format is expected?

Four columns: `name, email, role, designation`. Designation must be `cast`, `staff`,
or `both`. Multiple rows with the same name and email add multiple roles to that
person. Several people may share one email (e.g. a parent submitting for multiple
children) — give each a different name and they are kept separate.

### Can someone be in both cast and staff?

Yes. Set their designation to `both` and they will appear in both the Cast and Staff
sections on the dashboard and in exports. They submit a single bio and receive one
invitation.

### What if my theatre doesn’t separate cast and staff?

Uncheck “Cast / Staff Sections” under **GreenRoom  Settings**. The dashboard and
exports will show a single unsectioned list of people.

### What export formats are available?

HTML, Microsoft Word (DOCX), RTF, Markdown, Adobe InDesign Tagged Text, CSV, a plain-
text Cast List, a Contact List CSV, and headshot ZIP. Bio-content formats export
only submitted bios. The Cast List, Contact List, and CSV exports include the full
roster regardless of bio status — Cast List is just name and role (tab-separated,
one line per person); Contact List adds designation, pronouns, and email; CSV includes
full status data. InDesign Tagged Text includes paragraph and character style definitions
for professional playbill layout.

### What happens after the deadline?

Submitters can no longer edit their bios. Data is retained in the database and remains
accessible to admins and producers.

### Is any data sent to a third-party service?

No. GreenRoom does not make external requests.

## Changelog

#### 1.0.4

 * Add a plain-text Cast List export (name and role, tab-separated) for sound, stage
   management, or paging use. Available from both the admin Bios page and the production
   dashboard, and includes everyone in the show regardless of bio-submission status.
 * Single-character middle initials are now automatically punctuated with a period(
   e.g. “Q” becomes “Q.”) everywhere a name is built, exported, or displayed.
 * Display Name overrides now follow the configured Name Case setting (UPPERCASE,
   Title Case, etc.) instead of always appearing exactly as typed — consistent with
   every other name in exports and on the public bio page.
 * Add a Contact List (CSV) export to the admin Bios page: the full roster’s designation,
   names, pronouns, email, and roles in one spreadsheet-ready file — no bio content
   or sign-in links, and everyone is included regardless of bio-submission status.
 * Fix first-visit access for submission and production-dashboard links: the sign-
   in cookie now takes effect immediately, so the page no longer requires a refresh
   before recognizing the visitor.
 * Fix bios opening with the person’s name in possessive or clause form (e.g. “Jane’s
   stage debut…”) being mangled by the automatic removal of a redundant leading 
   name — the name is now only stripped when it stands alone.

#### 1.0.3

 * Add an “Edit Table” mode to a show’s people list for editing first/last names,
   emails, and roles inline across all rows, then saving in one click — no need 
   to open each person individually.
 * Add a “Copy Shortcode” action to each show on the Shows screen for quickly grabbing
   its `[greenroom show="slug"]` display shortcode.
 * The `[greenroom]` display now lists all cast and crew, including those who have
   not yet submitted a bio (name and role only). Add `unsubmitted="no"` to show 
   only submitted bios.
 * CSV import now preserves imported people’s middle names and suffixes.

#### 1.0.2

 * Allow multiple people to share one email address within a show (e.g. siblings
   whose parent submits their bios).

#### 1.0.1

 * Fix HTML entity encoding in RTF, DOCX, Markdown, CSV, and InDesign Tagged Text
   exports (literal `&` instead of `&amp;`).
 * InDesign Tagged Text character styles now reflect the configured bold/italic 
   settings for name, role, and pronouns.

#### 1.0

 * Initial public release.
