Most committees produce PDFs, Word docs, spreadsheets, or Google Doc links every month, and need a clean way to organize them by committee and date. Built for the bmlt-enabled community but useful for any organization that needs a tidy minutes archive. Features: * Dedicated **Meeting Minutes** post type with an uploaded-file or external-URL document field * **Committee** taxonomy seeded with common service-committee defaults (Area, Regional, Hospitals & Institutions, Public Relations, Activities, Outreach, Literature, Policy) — fully editable * Meeting-date field separate from publish-date, with sorting and year-grouping * Supports PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PPT, PPTX, ODT, ODS, ODP, TXT, RTF, CSV, plus arbitrary URLs (Google Docs, Dropbox, OneDrive) * Single `[bmlt_minutes]` shortcode with grouping, filtering, and limiting * Optional **password protection** per post — for minutes that still contain unredacted personal details * Dedicated **Minutes Manager** role — grant trusted servants access to manage minutes only, without broader site access * Configurable per-file upload size limit (default 10 MB, scoped to the Minutes editor only) * Block-editor compatible (custom fields exposed via the REST API) * Works as a standalone plugin — no BMLT server required #### Usage Add the shortcode to any page or post: ``` [bmlt_minutes] ``` Filter to one committee, group by year: ``` [bmlt_minutes committee="hospitals-institutions" group_by="year"] ``` Show the 10 most recent, flat list with excerpts: ``` [bmlt_minutes limit="10" group_by="none" show_excerpt="true"] ``` Shortcode attributes: * `committee` — Slug or comma-separated slugs of Committee terms. Defaults to all committees. * `year` — Restrict to a single year by Meeting Date (e.g. `2026`). * `limit` — Max items to render. `-1` (default) = no limit. * `order` — `desc` (default, newest first) or `asc`. * `group_by` — `committee` (default), `year`, or `none`. * `show_excerpt` — `true` or `false` (default). Shows each post’s excerpt under the link. ## Capturas [⌊Frontend [bmlt_minutes] shortcode output, grouped by committee.

Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/bmlt-minutes/`, or install via the Plugins screen. 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress. 3. (Optional) Open **Minutes Settings** to set your default sort order and upload size cap. 4. Add minutes under **Minutes Add New** — upload a file or paste a Google Doc / external link, choose a committee, set the meeting date, publish. 5. Add `[bmlt_minutes]` to any page or post. ## FAQ ### Where are the documents stored? Uploaded files go into the standard WordPress Media Library. External links (Google Docs, Dropbox, OneDrive) are stored as URLs on the minutes post — nothing is copied or proxied. ### Can I use this without BMLT? Yes. The plugin works as a standalone document-list plugin — it makes no calls to any BMLT server. ### Can I add my own committees? Yes. The Committee taxonomy is hierarchical (like Categories). Go to **Minutes Committees** to add, rename, or nest committees. The default list is just a starting point on first activation. ### How do I link to a Google Doc instead of uploading? In the **Minutes Document** meta box on the editor screen, leave the file field empty and paste your Google Doc / Drive URL into the **External Link** field. ### Can I password-protect minutes that contain personal details? Yes. Some service bodies redact PII before posting, others share unredacted minutes with members only. On the editor screen, set a value in the **Password Protection** field of the Minutes Document meta box (or use WordPress’s built-in Visibility Password protected option in the Publish panel). On the public `[bmlt_minutes]` list, protected entries show a padlock and link to a password-prompt page rather than exposing the document URL. Members enter the shared password once per browser to unlock the document. Default behavior with no password set is fully public access. ### Can I password-protect the entire page that contains [bmlt_minutes]? Yes — use WordPress’s built-in page password. Edit the page that holds your `[bmlt_minutes]` shortcode, open the Publish (Block Editor: Status & visibility) panel, set **Visibility Password protected**, and enter a password. Visitors will see WordPress’s standard password form before the whole page (including the minutes list) is rendered. This is independent of the per-post password on individual minutes — you can combine them if you want a members-only landing page plus an extra lock on specific minutes. ### How do I let someone manage minutes without giving them full site access? There are two ways: 1. **Minutes Manager role** — activating the plugin creates this role. Assign a user that role (Users edit user Role) and they can add, edit, and publish minutes and upload documents, but nothing else in wp-admin. 2. **«Can manage minutes» checkbox** — on any user’s profile (Users edit user) there’s a Meeting Minutes section with a «Can manage minutes» checkbox. Tick it to grant an existing user (e.g. an Author) minutes access _on top of_ their current role, without changing that role. Untick to revoke. If the user’s role already grants minutes access, the checkbox shows as locked with a note. Administrators and Editors keep full access automatically. Under the hood the Meeting Minutes post type uses its own capabilities (`edit_bmlt_minutes`, `publish_bmlt_minutes`, etc.), so a role-editor plugin can also mix these into any existing role. Curating the committee list stays admin-only; Minutes Managers can assign existing committees but not create new ones. ### Can I limit a user to only certain committees? Yes. On the user’s profile, the Meeting Minutes section has a **Committee Scope** checklist. Tick one or more committees and that user can only add, edit, and delete minutes filed under those committees (sub-committees are included automatically). They see only their committees in the editor and in the Minutes list, and they can’t publish without picking one of them. Leave every box unchecked for access to all committees. Administrators are never restricted. This suits a region hosting minutes for several areas: nest each area’s committees under the area (**Area A Hospitals & Institutions**, **Area B Hospitals & Institutions**, and so on), then scope each area’s uploader to their area. The `[bmlt_minutes]` list groups nested committees by their full path, so the two H&I committees stay separate. ### Will uninstalling delete my minutes? Yes. The `uninstall.php` script removes the plugin’s settings and deletes all minutes posts when you delete the plugin via the WordPress admin. Deactivate instead of uninstalling if you want to preserve them. ## Reseñas No hay valoraciones para este plugin. ## Colaboradores y desarrolladores «BMLT Minutes» es un software de código abierto.

A scoped user can only add, edit, and delete minutes filed under their chosen committees (and sub-committees), sees only those committees when editing, and must pick one before publishing. Administrators are never restricted. * Changed: when grouping by committee, nested committees are labelled with their full path (e.g. «Area A / Hospitals & Institutions») so same-named sub-committees under different parents no longer merge into one group. #### 1.0.3 * Renamed the `[minutes]` shortcode to `[bmlt_minutes]` so the tag carries a plugin- specific prefix and won’t collide with other plugins. #### 1.0.2 * Removed the unused BMLT Server URL and Service Body ID settings. #### 1.0.1 * Fixed: the Default Sort Order setting now applies to the `[minutes]` shortcode when no `order` attribute is provided. * Fixed: published minutes with no meeting date are no longer excluded from the`[ minutes]` list. #### 1.0.0 * Initial release. ## Meta * Versión **1.1.0** * Última actualización **hace 3 semanas** * Instalaciones activas **Menos de 10** * Versión de WordPress ** 6.0 o superior ** * Probado hasta **7.1.2** * Versión de PHP ** 8.0 o superior ** * Idioma * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/bmlt-minutes/) * Etiquetas: * [agenda](https://es.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/agenda/)[bmlt](https://es.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/bmlt/) [documents](https://es.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/documents/)[pdf](https://es.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/pdf/) * [Vista avanzada](https://es.wordpress.org/plugins/bmlt-minutes/advanced/) ## Valoraciones Aún no se han enviado valoraciones.
