## 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 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 email will add multiple roles to that person.

### 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, and
headshot ZIP. Bio-content formats export only submitted bios. CSV includes full 
roster data including status. 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.
