Tushiyah Store Finder and Browser

Tushiyah Store Finder and Browser is a plugin designed to add a store locator feature to WordPress websites. It enables businesses to display their physical locations on an interactive map, helping site visitors find stores more easily. The tool introduces a custom post type for locations and allows each store to be assigned to a county using a county taxonomy system.

The store locator utilizes a Leaflet map with OpenStreetMap tiles to visually display store locations. Users can search for stores by name or address, or use geocoding to enter an Eircode or town and find stores within a specified radius. The initial map view features county count markers, providing an overview of store distribution by county. Additionally, an A–Z store browser section is available for users who prefer to browse stores alphabetically. Basic styling options are provided through CSS variables and shortcode attributes, allowing for customization within the WordPress environment.

Installation involves uploading the plugin folder to the WordPress plugins directory, activating it through the Plugins menu, and adding store locations in the WordPress admin area, including latitude and longitude for accurate map placement. Counties can be created and assigned to stores for organizational purposes. The store locator is then added to a page using a shortcode.

This tool is suited for businesses with multiple physical locations who want to enhance their WordPress site with a searchable, map-based store locator. It is delivered as a WordPress plugin and integrates with the WordPress admin interface.
