LuviaEdu – School Management System

Description

LuviaEdu is a complete School ERP and Academic Management System designed for modern educational institutions. It provides a highly interactive, unified React dashboard for administrators, teachers, accountants, and other staff to coordinate student admissions, academic directories, financial transactions, class schedules, and student attendance.

Key Features:

• Academic Directory — Comprehensive student profile roster, class registration, and academic section management.
• Attendance System — Quick-action student attendance register with visual present/absent indicators and historical logs.
• Financial Ledger & Billing — Professional invoices, expense tracking, payroll processing, and student fee templates.
• Drag-and-Drop Form Builder — Visually design custom multi-column student registration or feedback forms. No coding needed.
• Dynamic Certificate Builder — Create, print, and distribute school certificates from a visual template editor.
• Frontend Student Portal — Full-screen React portal accessible via the [luvia_portal] shortcode.
• 3rd-Party Form Embeds — Embed WPForms, Gravity Forms, Ninja Forms, Contact Form 7, and Formidable Forms in a premium card UI.
• Role-Based Access Control — Fine-grained permissions for Administrators, Teachers, Principals, Accountants, Front Desk, Students, and Parents.

Getting Started

After activating the plugin:

Step 1 — Open the LuviaEdu Dashboard

Click LuviaEdu in the WordPress admin sidebar. The React dashboard loads automatically. Database tables and default configuration are created on first activation.

Step 2 — Complete the Onboarding Wizard

The Setup Wizard will guide you through: school name, logo, academic year, currency, and grading system. You can always update these later via LuviaEdu → School Settings.

Step 3 — Configure Roles & Permissions

Go to LuviaEdu → Roles & Permissions. Use the visual toggle grid to control which sections each role (Teacher, Principal, Accountant, etc.) can access.

Step 4 — Add Students & Classes

In the dashboard, navigate to Academic Directory. Create your classes/sections first, then add students individually or via the Admissions module.

Step 5 (Optional) — Create a Frontend Portal Page

Create any WordPress Page, add the shortcode [luvia_portal] to it, then publish. Share that page URL with your students and parents. Logged-in users will see a full-screen portal tailored to their role.

Step 6 (Optional) — Embed a Registration Form on Your Site

Go to LuviaEdu → Luvia Forms → Add New, give the form a title, launch the Visual Builder, and design your form. Copy the form’s Post ID from the URL (e.g., post=42 means the ID is 42). Embed it anywhere using:
[luvia_embed_form id=”42″]

Shortcodes

LuviaEdu provides two powerful shortcodes.

[luvia_portal]

Purpose: Creates a full-screen frontend React portal, bypassing your WordPress theme completely. Ideal for student/parent login and dashboard access.

Usage:
[luvia_portal]

How to set up:

1. Go to Pages → Add New
2. Title it something like “Student Portal”
3. In the Block Editor, insert a Shortcode block and paste [luvia_portal]
4. Publish the page
5. Share the URL with your students and staff

Note: This shortcode works via a template redirect. The page will render as a standalone HTML document, not inside your theme. Place it on a dedicated page — do not mix it with other page content.

[luvia_embed_form]

Purpose: Embeds a form (LuviaEdu native or from a supported 3rd-party plugin) anywhere on your site inside a premium glassmorphism card container.

Syntax:
[luvia_embed_form id=”FORM_ID” type=”TYPE”]

Attributes:

• id (required) — The numeric ID of the form.
• type (optional, default: luvia) — Which form plugin to use.

Supported type values:

type=
