Knights, Councils and Assemblies, for use in a directory. Each will have their own

recruiting. This plugin was initially designed for the Utah state council.

   can use in a directory

 * Scoreboards shortcode for recruiting by knight, council and district

   completed

## Installation

After activating go to the settings page. Here you can set the number of districts
you have. To enable spam reduction on the email forms, Google reCaptcha keys are
required. Links to the settings page are under Settings in the admin and on the 
plugins page.
 The admin menu will have the two new post types in the main admin
menu along with the Scoreboard and Inbound Messages menu items.

#### Knight and Council Pages

Once you create a knight or council post, you can link it to its page:
 http://[
site.domain]/knight/[post-title] http://[site.domain]/council/[council #] http://[
site.domain]/assembly/[assembly #]

## FAQ

### Are the knights on the scoreboard and the knights post type the same?

 * No. They are separate so that the post type is only for the directory and has
   more information. The knights under the scoreboard are only for the scoreboards.

### Will there be a council finder for prospective and new members?

 * It’s planned.

### Can you make creating state office holders and program directors lists that use the knight post type?

 * It’s also planned.

### What about version 1.0?

 * The first version was only the scoreboard and had different name. It was not 
   released and only used on the Utah Knights website.
