A WordPress plugin that adds 2 blocks to any WordPress site. One is a single block, that can be used to log all catches from a single session. You can show a map of the location, with a pin to show the exact location you fished (or general area if stalking) and list all fish you cactch. The other block, acts as a summary block, which will include all catches. These are shown as a simple pin with a count of the fish caught, linking back to the initial post.
You can see examples of both the catch and all catch maps
Links
Installation
The easiest way to install the plugin, to either head over the releases section and choose the latest version from releases
Or you can click this link to download the latest version. Once you have the zip file either unpack and FTP into your plugins directory or use the wp-admin interface.
If you wish to install it from the repo, just clone into your plugins dir, checkout the main branch and run npm install then npm run build
Usage
Once you have the plugin installed, you can setup the API needed if you want to use the other templates. Thunderforest and Jawg API keys can be added to the usual WordPress General Settings page.
Stadia maps require you to whitelist your site for limited access to the map tiles
Catch Block
You can add the catch block to any post, it shows up as the Fish Catch Block.
First you can choose to add the location of your fishing spot, you can do this as either a simple string, or with the coordinates, which can be added directly, using the current location or by selecting on the map. Its up to you how much you give away here, of course
Now you have setup the location, you can start by adding your catches. You can add as much or as little as you wish here. But generally the species, size (length and weight), comments and images can added. The species is really the bare minimum you need to enter, but images are ideal.
You can add as many fish that you caught, or you can lie to cover up those blanking sessions. Of course its easier to just not publish the post, but wheres the story in that.
You can control some some other features of the block
The size units shown on the block. Feel free to get creative

Catch Map
Unlike the catch log, we do not have as many options here. Just pick the map type and the minimum number of catches to show
When a marker is clicked, a panel is revealed on the front end linking to the post with the catch report
Additional Information
This is a simple little plugin, it is not fool proof, if you added 2 blocks to a post, it will might cause a weird set of race condition with the catch count, meta field.
Feel free to open issues on github if you have problems or ideas.
