Every account-signup question was asked of everybody who registered, on the same terms: "school and grade" had to be put to an adult signing themselves up, and a question a studio needed answered for each student could only be made required by demanding it of everyone. A question now carries an audience — everyone, or only the students someone registers on behalf of — and its own required flag for each side, so optional for you and required for every student you enrol is expressible. Both settings are account-scope only: an offering asks its questions once, about the student being booked, so there is no second audience to differ from, and an offering question mirrors its single "required" into both columns. Every caller reads askedOfSelf()/isRequiredForSelf()/isRequiredForChild() rather than the raw flags, so a students-only question can neither block the account holder nor have an answer filed against them by a crafted post. The family screen, which only ever adds a student, is held to the students' rule. is_required_child arrives from dbDelta defaulting to 0, which would quietly stop every existing required question being required of the students a guardian registers — the case it most likely existed for. A one-time backfill copies is_required across, guarded by its own option so a question later made optional for students stays that way. Closes #163 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <[email protected]>
Unsupervised Scheduler
A WordPress plugin for instructor/student lesson scheduling — private lessons and group classes — with offerings, intake questions, versioned policies, account registration, and online payments.
Version: 1.0.0 · Requires: WordPress 6.0+, PHP 8.1+ · License: GPL-2.0-or-later
Pre-release. The booking platform is being built feature-by-feature; see Implementation status below.
Overview
The plugin is organised package-by-domain under src/ (PSR-4
Unsupervised\Schedular\). Each domain owns its value objects, repositories,
REST endpoints, and admin/front-end controllers. All data access goes through
repository classes against custom {prefix}us_* tables; permissions are enforced
with WordPress capabilities, never role-name checks. There is no front-end
build step (vanilla JS/CSS in assets/).
Every feature has a spec in docs/features/ describing its data
model, REST API, classes, and tests. For contributor/architecture guidance see
CLAUDE.md.

Shortcodes
| Shortcode | Purpose |
|---|---|
[us_booking] |
Student calendar + private-lesson registration flow |
[us_group_classes] |
Browse and enrol in group classes |
[us_student_login] |
Front-end student login |
[us_student_register] |
Account registration — invite-based, or open self-signup with email confirmation + admin approval (accepts signup policies) |
REST API
All endpoints live under /wp-json/us-scheduler/v1/ (e.g. /offerings,
/availability, /bookings, /enrollments, /policies, /questions).
Permissions are enforced via permission_callback capability checks. See each
feature doc for the routes and required capabilities.
Roles & capabilities
Three custom roles — Studio Admin (us_studio_admin), Instructor
(us_instructor), and Student (us_student) — plus a user_has_cap filter
that grants every studio-admin capability to WordPress administrators, so the site
owner runs the studio without a separate role. Full capability matrix in
user-roles.md.
Installation
- Build a distributable zip (see Development):
composer build # -> dist/unsupervised-schedular-<version>.zip - In wp-admin: Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choose the zip, install, and activate.
Activation creates the us_* database tables and registers the roles. CI also
publishes an installable zip artifact on every merge to main.
Development
composer install # install dependencies
composer test # PHPUnit (run after every change)
composer lint # PHPStan (level 6)
composer cs # PHPCS (WordPress coding standards)
composer cs:fix # auto-fix coding standards
composer build # build the plugin zip into dist/
# a single test file / single test
./vendor/bin/phpunit tests/Unit/Offering/OfferingRepositoryTest.php
./vendor/bin/phpunit --filter testInsertReturnsId
Tests use Brain\Monkey and Mockery to
stub WordPress and $wpdb without a full WP install. To run the plugin in a real
WordPress without Docker, wp-now works well: npx @wp-now/cli@latest start.
CI
Gitea Actions (.gitea/workflows/ci.yml) runs on every push and pull request:
lint (PHPCS), static-analysis (PHPStan), test (PHPUnit on PHP
8.1/8.2/8.3), and no-debug (rejects debug statements in src/). On merge to
main a build job publishes the installable plugin zip as an artifact.
