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

- 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.
