## Апісанне

[Polarsteps.com](http://polarsteps.com/) offers a great way of logging your travel
experiences. The app does record GPS Locations “Steps”. The user can add images 
and texts for them. However, for multiple reasons, a lot of travelers are having
WordPress travel blogs up and running. If they still want to use Polarsteps and 
show their last location in their WordPress instance, this plugin offers basic integration
between both worlds.

While being on my round the world trip, I was looking into several options how to
communicate back home from my journey. In the end, I thought a combination of a 
traditional blogging platform used to write posts and an app like Polarsteps offers
the most flexibility for me while traveling. If my girlfriend or I want to write
an article what happened in the last days (for multiple locations) we can do so.
If it’s just about letting everyone know where I was, I use polarsteps travel tracker.
Still, for the audience it is important to have all in one place – and have a single
point of knowledge.

This plugin does the first approach to caching the “Steps” on WordPress-side and
giving to the users a brief information within a widget where and when the last 
location within polarsteps was set.

### Disclaimer

As I’m not part of the company behind Polarsteps and just developed the plugin for
personal purposes, I reached out to them, in order to check, if they might support
the plugin officially. Mainly due to business and UX reasons, they responded they
could not officially support my approach. This means the APIs on their side could
change from one day to another. In this case, the plugin would stop getting new 
steps from your Polarsteps profile.

## Ўсталёўка

 1. Register an account for Polarsteps (if not already done)
 2. Install the plugin. Upload a zip-archive or upload `polarsteps-integration` directory
    to the `/wp-content/plugins/`
     directory
 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 4. Obtain Username (and if needed Trip Id) from Polarsteps.com and add it to the plugin’s
    settings (see FAQs)
 5. Create Trip (with at least one Step) on Polarsteps.com and make sure it is public
 6. If WP-Cron is not activated. Install & activate Cronjob Plugin e.g. `Cronjob Scheduler`
 7. Schedule the action `polarsteps_update_steps` whenever needed e.g. hourly
 8. Add the widget to your page to see the last location (“Step”) on your page

## Часта задаваныя пытанні

  How to get my Username from Polarsteps?

You registered with a unique Username on Polarsteps. This Username is used in the
Polarsteps Settings.

  How to get a Trip Id from Polarsteps?

Currently, the plugin only supports having profiles with one trip. For now enter“
0” here.

  I don’t see a Recent Location in the Widget

Check the Settings (Settings > Polarsteps Settings), if the username is correctly
set.
 If the username is correct, on save the data is fetched. Afterwards, last 
step is shown in a notice.

  My Widget “Recent Location” is not updating

Make sure that either WP-cron is activated or a Cronjob plugin is successfully triggering
the action `polarsteps_update_steps`.
 Furthermore, the polarsteps account needs
to have public trips. If the user exists but no trip nor steps, naturally the plugin
cannot show your recent location.

  I want to customize my Widget

Feel free to edit the CSS-classes `polarsteps_widget`, `polarsteps_location_name_href`,`
polarsteps_start_time` and `polarsteps_country_flag` to your needs.
