Yoran Brondsema

This plugin allows the administrator to keep track of a history of geographical locations. It was developed for a travel blog and the geographical locations were drawn onto a Google Maps widget so that visitors could keep track of the blogger’s traveling.
A live example can be seen on <a href="http://yoranbrondsema.net" title="Yoran Brondsema's travel blog" rel="nofollow ugc">the author’s travel blog</a> (in Dutch).
Its main features are:
<ul>
<li>Add, edit and remove locations easily from the Admin panel</li>
<li>Enter geographical coordinates manually or parse from a Google Maps URL</li>
<li>Assign a date to each location for a true history of locations</li>
<li>Assign a label to each location for easy identification</li>
<li>Exposes a simple API to the front-end</li>
<li>Dynamically request locations with AJAX</li>
</ul>
The plugin is administrated from the admin (addition and removal of geolocations) and it exposes an API to the front-end. Once the plugin is installed, a theme can call the following functions:
<ul>
<li><code>lochis_get_location_history()</code>: returns an array containing the whole history of geolocations, sorted by ascending date.</li>
<li><code>lochis_get_latest_location()</code>: returns only the most recent geolocation.</li>
</ul>
Each of these functions also has an AJAX-equivalent that returns a JSON-object instead of a PHP object. This way you can use the geolocations in Javascript, for instance to be shown in a Google Maps widget. The AJAX functions are:
<ul>
<li><code>lochis_ajax_get_location_history()</code></li>
<li><code>lochis_ajax_get_latest_location()</code></li>
</ul>

Geolocation History

Keep a history of geographical locations for your travel blog.

<h4>🧩 Blocks and shortcodes</h4>
Use the block editor or classic shortcodes to drop catalog widgets, search, and account UI into any page.
Blocks (search the inserter for “Yatra” or the block name):
<ul>
<li>Tour — block name <code>yatra/tour</code> (trip grid; same data options as the <code>[yatra_trip]</code> shortcode).</li>
<li>Activity — <code>yatra/activity</code>.</li>
<li>Destination — <code>yatra/destination</code>.</li>
</ul>
Shortcodes (attributes shown are the main filters; all accept string values as in the plugin defaults—use <code>yes</code> / <code>no</code> or <code>0</code> / <code>1</code> where noted):
<ul>
<li><code>[yatra_trip]</code> — Trip listing. Alias: <code>[yatra_tour]</code> (same output; kept for backward compatibility). Useful attributes include <code>order</code> (asc or desc), <code>featured</code> (0 or 1), <code>per_page</code>, <code>category</code>, <code>destination</code>, <code>activity</code>, <code>difficulty</code>, <code>price_min</code>, <code>price_max</code>, <code>duration_min</code>, <code>duration_max</code>, <code>search</code>, <code>columns</code>, <code>show_pagination</code> (yes or no), <code>title</code>. Example: <code>[yatra_trip featured="1" per_page="6" columns="3"]</code></li>
<li><code>[yatra_activity]</code> — Activity archive-style listing. Attributes include <code>order</code>, <code>per_page</code>, <code>columns</code>, <code>activity</code> (slug or comma-separated slugs), <code>show_trip_count</code>, <code>show_description</code>, <code>show_image</code>, <code>show_pagination</code>, <code>hide_empty</code> (yes or no), <code>title</code>.</li>
<li><code>[yatra_destination]</code> — Destination showcase. Attributes include <code>order</code>, <code>per_page</code>, <code>columns</code>, <code>destination</code> (slug or comma-separated slugs), <code>show_trip_count</code>, <code>show_description</code>, <code>show_image</code>, <code>show_pagination</code>, <code>hide_empty</code>, <code>featured_only</code> (yes or no), <code>title</code>.</li>
<li><code>[yatra_search]</code> — Advanced tour search form. Toggle parts with <code>show_filters</code>, <code>show_categories</code>, <code>show_destinations</code>, <code>show_activities</code>, <code>show_price_range</code>, <code>show_duration</code>, <code>show_difficulty</code> (yes or no), plus <code>placeholder</code> and <code>button_text</code>.</li>
<li><code>[yatra_login]</code> — Customer login form. Attributes include <code>show_register</code>, <code>show_forgot_password</code>, <code>remember_me</code> (yes or no), <code>redirect_url</code>, <code>title</code>, <code>subtitle</code>.</li>
<li><code>[yatra_my_account]</code> — Account dashboard for logged-in users (same React experience as the virtual account URL). Legacy attributes are accepted for backward compatibility but do not change the 3.x UI.</li>
<li><code>[yatra_discount_and_deals]</code> — Discounted trips. Attributes include <code>order</code>, <code>per_page</code>, <code>columns</code>, <code>discount_type</code> (all, percentage, fixed, or group), <code>min_discount</code>, <code>max_discount</code>, <code>category</code>, <code>destination</code>, <code>show_original_price</code>, <code>show_percentage</code>, <code>show_time_left</code>, <code>show_pagination</code>, <code>show_filters</code>, <code>title</code>.</li>
</ul>
Note: Older Yatra 2.x docs sometimes mentioned <code>[yatra_cart]</code>, <code>[yatra_checkout]</code>, or <code>[yatra_mini_cart]</code>. Those shortcodes are not registered in Yatra 3.x—checkout and booking flow use the plugin’s front-end routes and templates instead. See <a href="https://docs.wpyatra.com" rel="nofollow ugc">docs.wpyatra.com</a> for URLs and page setup.
