Missing People Reporter - Comprehensive Documentation

The Missing People Reporter plugin is a mission-critical WordPress solution for MissingPeople.co.ke, enabling structured reporting and tracking of missing persons in Kenya.

🚀 1. Key Features

📅 Case Management & Risk Levels

  • Dynamic Status: Track cases as Missing, Found - Safe, Found - Deceased, or Cold Case.
  • Risk Assessment: Categorize cases as Low, Medium, or High risk.
  • Visual Urgency: "High Risk" cases feature an automated pulsing red badge for maximum visibility.

🗺️ Dynamic Map Integration

  • Interactive Location Pinning: Admins can pin the exact "Last Seen" coordinates on an OpenStreetMap interface.
  • Auto-Geocoding: A "Find on Map" button uses the Nominatim API to translate text addresses into map pins.
  • Public Visibility: Profiles automatically display a read-only map for the public to visualize the last known location.

🖨️ Poster Generation Tool

  • One-Click Printing: Generate professional, high-impact "MISSING" posters directly from a profile.
  • Smart Formatting: A dedicated print engine strips away website clutter, leaving only the large photo, critical details, and contact info in a high-contrast layout.

🔍 Advanced Searching & Filtering

  • Multi-Criteria Filter: Users can search by Name, Location, Status, or Risk Level.
  • Responsive Interface: A modern, mobile-friendly filter bar sits atop the summary grid.

⚙️ 4. Administration

Backend Management

Admins can manage all details from the "Missing People" menu in the WordPress sidebar. The interface is organized into logical tabs:

  1. Personal Information: Identity and ethnicity.
  2. Physical Description: Height, weight, hair, and medical conditions.
  3. Disappearance Details: Date, location, and одежды.
  4. Map Location: Interactive coordinate pinning.
  5. Authority & Contact: Police stations, OB numbers, and family contacts.

📞 5. Future Extensibility

The plugin includes hooks (mpr_handle_public_submission) for integrating third-party SMS alerts or CRM systems. Developers can override aesthetics by placing custom templates in their theme's missing-person/ directory.
