SleekView Charts for Community Events: submissions and approvals
Community Events lets visitors submit events into the tribe_events CPT through a front-end form, with submitter and status meta. SleekView Charts reads those rows and turns the submission pipeline into number, pie, bar, and area cards.

Submission pipeline as a dashboard
Community Events is the Tribe add-on that lets visitors submit events to the site through a front-end form. Submissions land in the same tribe_events CPT the rest of the events live in, but with post_status typically set to pending until an editor approves them. The plugin records the submitter as post_author and may write additional meta for moderation state.
The default editorial workflow uses the standard pending-posts screen, which works for approving a single submission but does not surface the pipeline as a whole. SleekView Charts reads tribe_events filtered to community-submitted rows, joins to users on post_author to resolve submitter names, and turns the data into a four-card dashboard. Submission pace, status mix, top submitters, and which categories are coming in most often become readable cards.
The output is the editorial control panel the team needs: how many submissions are in the queue, which ones have been waiting longest, who is submitting the most, and how the daily pace looks during a promotional push. Numbers update as editors approve or reject events.

Comparison
Default Community Events admin vs SleekView Charts
Default pending events screen
- Default pending screen lists submissions one row at a time, no aggregates
- Submission status mix requires counting across pages of the events list
- Top submitters need manual counting from the events screen
- Daily pace of community contributions is not in the default admin
- Queue depth is not a numeric KPI on the default dashboard
SleekView Charts
- Number, pie, bar, and area cards drawn from tribe_events
- Scoped to Community Events-submitted rows so native events do not skew totals
- Joins post_author to users for readable submitter labels
- Status pie tracks approval throughput across the period
- Reads canonical Tribe and WordPress data, no parallel pipeline
Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for Community Events
Editorial queue at a glance
Queue depth, status mix, top submitters, and daily pace on a single screen so the editorial meeting starts from numbers, not from scrolling the pending events screen guessing at the backlog.
Submitter recognition
The top-submitters bar surfaces the contributors who carry the community calendar, joined to the users table for readable display names, which makes recognising or onboarding regulars straightforward.
Scoped on community origin
The dataset filters to events that came through the Community Events submission flow, so native editorial events do not skew the queue or pace charts the moderation team relies on.
Audience
Who builds Community Events dashboards with SleekView
Editorial moderators
Open a saved dashboard at the start of each shift for queue depth, oldest pending, and status throughput. The four cards replace the back-and-forth between the pending screen and a spreadsheet.
Community leads
Recognise top contributors from the submitters bar and watch for sudden drops in the daily pace area card, which often signal a confusing form change or a broken submission step worth investigating.
Marketing leads
Measure campaign impact through the daily submission pace, comparing the slope after a promotion that invites community contributions against the baseline pace from the prior weeks.
The bigger picture
Why community submissions need an editorial dashboard
A site that accepts community-submitted events runs an editorial pipeline whether or not anyone calls it that. Moderators need to know how deep the queue is, which submissions have been waiting longest, who is contributing the most, and how the pace shifts during campaigns. The default pending events screen lists submissions one row at a time and assumes the moderator already has an idea of the backlog.
Community Events captures every submission correctly in tribe_events with the meta around it, but the admin renders it as rows. SleekView Charts treats the same data as an editorial dataset and aggregates it into number, pie, bar, and area cards that read post_status, post_author, post_date_gmt, and category taxonomy. The result is a moderation surface where queue depth, throughput, contributor mix, and daily pace live on one screen, which is the picture moderation meetings actually need.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for Community Events
Community Events writes a recognisable origin signal on submitted rows, typically a meta key plus the submitter as post_author. The dataset filters on that signal so editorial events created directly in wp-admin do not inflate the queue, the pace card, or the submitter ranking.
 Yes. While the Number card shows the count, a separate SleekView table view over the same dataset can sort pending rows by post_date_gmt ascending so moderators see the oldest unhandled submission first. The charts and the table share the same data.
 Yes. Community Events supports both logged-in and anonymous submission flows. Anonymous rows carry the configured default author, so the submitter bar surfaces the configured account rather than blank cells. The pipeline view still works on the daily pace card the same way.
 Yes. The Tribe event category taxonomy is exposed as a column, so a pie or bar card grouped on that taxonomy returns the count of submissions per category. Moderators can see whether the community is contributing across the full programme or only one niche.
 Yes. If a submitter account is later removed, the post_author column still holds the historical user ID. The join falls back to a placeholder label so the bar card does not break, while the underlying row remains queryable in the table view alongside.
 Yes. Every card has a filter scope that targets post_date_gmt. A daily pace card filtered to the campaign window returns only that period's submissions, which makes it straightforward to attribute community contributions to a specific marketing push.
 Yes. SleekView respects WordPress capabilities. Moderator roles see the dashboards configured for them, and edit operations performed in the table view honour the same capability checks Community Events enforces on the pending screen.
 Yes. Each card has an underlying dataset slice that exports to CSV with the columns the chart used to aggregate. Useful when reviewing the actual submissions behind a sudden spike on the pace card or behind a top-submitter on the bar card.
