Modern Events Calendar Pro registers events as the mec-events post type with meta keys like mec_start_date, mec_end_date, mec_location_id, and mec_organizer_id. Bookings live as the mec-books post type, with attendee details stored in wp_postmeta or in the dedicated wp_mec_bookings table when that option is on. The default admin offers a per-event booking list, which is fine until an organizer needs a cross-event view by date.

SleekView reads mec-events and joins location and organizer fields onto each event row through the linked post IDs. The booking grid joins event title, ticket name, attendee name, and payment status onto every mec-books record. Custom registration fields stored as booking meta promote to columns once registered, so dietary notes or session choice become filters instead of free-text in an email.

Inline edits write to the same mec_* meta keys MEC reads internally. A rescheduled mec_start_date updates the calendar, an updated booking status updates the dashboard counters, and the attendee email is editable in case of typos at registration. The result is a planning surface tuned for organizers running back-to-back events out of one calendar.

Modern Events Calendar Pro shines on the public side: skins, modals, recurrence, and a clean booking form. The admin side is where operators feel the pinch as soon as one calendar runs more than a handful of events at the same time. Booking lists live per event, which is exactly the wrong shape for an organizer triaging next week, a finance lead reconciling Friday's payments, or a door volunteer checking three rooms at once.

The data is already there in mec-events and mec-books, but the default admin presents it one event at a time. Treating the schema as a real grid that joins event metadata onto every booking turns the calendar from a public-facing display into a planning surface. Saved views give each role its own working surface, inline edits route through the same meta keys MEC already reads, and a CSV export of a filtered date range replaces the spreadsheet stitching that filled the gap before.
