Plugin Functional Areas

1. Dashboard
The dashboard provides a quick overview of important data through visual statistics. It displays the total number of enrolled students, the total number of registered WordPress users, and the total number of created classes. The design should use a card-based layout with distinct, colorful cards representing each statistic.

2. Take Attendance
This is the central interface for attendance tracking. The page layout is divided into two sections.
The left section displays a monthly calendar view with the current day preselected by default.
The right section includes a dropdown to select a class, using Select2 for a user-friendly interface. Another dropdown allows selecting an attendance action such as "Mark All as Present," "Absent," or "Tardy."
When a class is selected, a dynamic list of students is displayed. Each student’s entry includes their name, group information (e.g., attendance usage and validity), and current status (e.g., valid or expired).
Each student has action buttons for marking them as Present, Absent, or Tardy. A Save Attendance button stores the attendance records.

3. Students
This section manages student data.
The main view displays a sortable and filterable table of students with columns for first name, last name, email, class, and status. Filters allow searching by class or status (e.g., Active or Archived).
The Add Student option opens a form. Users can either assign an existing WordPress user (fetching details from wp_usermeta) or create a new student record. The form includes fields for email, phone, status (Active or Archived), class (dropdown using Select2), group (dropdown using Select2), start date, and notes.
If no classes or groups exist, a message appears prompting the user to create them and providing direct links to the respective creation pages.

4. Classes
This section manages class data and enrollment.
The page is divided into two columns. The left column contains a form for creating a new class with fields for name, weekday, start time, end time, instructor, and notes. A Save button stores the new class.
The right column displays a table of existing classes with columns for ID, name, number of students, and actions such as edit, delete, or view students.
The view students option opens a list of all students enrolled in the selected class. This list allows editing or removing students and includes an Add Students button to add multiple students at once using Select2.

5. Groups
Groups represent attendance plans or packages and are used to manage student access and validity.
The group creation form includes fields for name, price, expiration (options for never or after a specified duration), attendance tracking method (per class or per day), and attendance limit (0 for unlimited).
Examples include limited plans such as "8Times-Student Card" with 8 classes within 4 months or unlimited plans like "VIP" for unlimited attendance over 4 months.
In the Take Attendance section, students are displayed with their group information, such as "John Derick (3 of 8 | 8Times-Student Card) valid" or "John Derick (6 of 10 | 10Times-Student Card) expired."

6. Reports
This section generates reports for insights into attendance data. Reports can be filtered by date, class, or student status. The reports are exportable to CSV and should include visual charts to enhance data representation.

7. Language
This section ensures multilingual support by integrating WordPress gettext functions for translations.

8. Settings
The settings page allows enabling or disabling specific plugin modules such as Dashboard or Reports. It also provides configurations for date and time formats and role-based permissions to control access for admins and instructors.

Additional Notes:
This plugin focuses exclusively on attendance tracking and plan management and does not include payment or e-commerce functionalities.
The design must be modular and future-proof, enabling enhancements and updates. REST API endpoints should be provided for external integrations. Notifications or alerts for group expiration or low attendance limits should be included.
