No. SleekView Feedback reads directly from the Spiffy Calendar event post type, the author meta, and the recurrence rows that Spiffy Calendar Pro maintains. You point it at the source, pick the columns for votes, status, category, author, and title, and the board renders.

Yes. SleekView ships with anonymous voting backed by cookies so any visitor can upvote events without an account. You can also require login if you want the board restricted to past attendees or paying members, and the same view handles both modes with a toggle.

Each visitor gets a cookie scoped vote token per item, and logged in users are tracked by user ID. The plugin exposes a rate limit per IP so a single household cannot spam the board, which keeps the score honest without forcing every attendee to create an account.

Yes. SleekView accepts a WHERE clause when you wire up the data source, so you can filter by start date, author, category, or any meta key Spiffy writes. A second board on another page can show past events as a public archive while the homepage lists upcoming.

Bug, Idea, and Request are just category values on the row. They show up in the WordPress admin alongside the source event, so the same author who published it can see and resolve issues without leaving Spiffy. CSV export is also available for support workflows.

They write back to the source column, which means your own queries, the event list block, and any custom report can sort future scheduling by that score. Several organisers use the score to gate which authors get more dates, which makes the board operational not decorative.

Both. SleekView ships as a Gutenberg block, an Elementor widget, a Bricks element, and a classic shortcode. Theme developers can also call the render function from PHP and pass a configuration array, so you can mount the board on any event template you build.

The view paginates server side and only loads the rows it needs to render the current page. Indexed columns stay fast even on long tables. Scoping the board by upcoming dates or active authors keeps both the query and the audience focused even at scale.
