How to use the shortcode

You can add tide times and heights using the tide_plugin shortcode and the following options:

• region: use “cornwall”, “devon”, “dorset”, “hampshire”, “sussex”, “kent”, “london”, “essex”, “suffolk” or “norfolk”
• location: use one of the location codes from here
• type: use “table” or “card” to set the widget type
• theme: use “basic”, “space”, or “ocean” to set the widget theme
• days: use “1”, “2”, or “3” to set the number of days
• slider: use “true” to enable widget controls when showing multiple days
• icons: use “false” to disable widget icons
• map: use “true” to include a Google Map
• maptype: use “satellite” or “roadmap” to set the type of map
• mapzoom: use “0” to “20” to set the initial map zoom
• mapwidth: default is “100%” but you can set it to any valid CSS dimension
• mapheight: default is “auto” but you can set it to any valid CSS dimension

Example shortcode:

[tide_plugin region="cornwall" location="boobys-bay" type="card" theme="ocean" days="3" slider="true" map="true" maptype="roadmap" mapzoom="12" mapwidth="100%" mapheight="400px"]Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet[/tide_plugin]

This would show a map plus tide times and heights for the next 3 days for Booby’s Bay, Cornwall.
