Title: UK tides – heights and times Author: bobbingwide Published: 6, Abril de 2012 Last modified: 14, Agostu de 2025 --- Guetar plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/uk-tides/assets/banner-772x250.jpg?rev=1050949) ![](https://ps.w.org/uk-tides/assets/icon-256x256.jpg?rev=981610) # UK tides – heights and times By [bobbingwide](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bobbingwide/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/uk-tides.3.3.2.zip) * [Details](https://ast.wordpress.org/plugins/uk-tides/#description) * [Reviews](https://ast.wordpress.org/plugins/uk-tides/#reviews) * [Development](https://ast.wordpress.org/plugins/uk-tides/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/uk-tides/) ## Description uk-tides displays tide times and heights for a particular location in the UK. The information that is displayed is obtained from the RSS feed for tidetimes.org.uk( eg https://www.tidetimes.org.uk/chichester-harbour-entrance-tide-times.rss ) or tidetimes.co.uk ( eg https://www.tidetimes.co.uk/rss/chichester-harbour-entrance- tide-times ). The data is cached until midnight. This plugin implements a block called UK tides ( uk-tides/uk-tides ). * It’s much easier to use than the shortcode. * It uses the functionality that was previously implemented as the [bw_tides] shortcode. * The block is not dependent upon the oik plugin. The syntax for the [bw_tides] shortcode is: [bw_tides tideurl=”https://www.tidetimes.org.uk/chichester-harbour-entrance-tide- times.rss|other – RSS feed URL for location” store=”1|store key – unique key for caching result”] Examples: [bw_tides] with no parameters will display the tide times and heights for Chichester Harbour Entrance. The information will be cached in store=1 until midnight. [bw_tides store=bw_tides_pompey tideurl=”https://www.tidetimes.org.uk/portsmouth”] will display the tide times and heights obtained from https://www.tidetimes.org. uk/portsmouth-tide-times.rss and cache the result in a store named ‘bw_tides_pompey’ Note: Using the store parameter allows you to display tide time and height information for more than one location. Examples: If you prefer you can use tidetimes.co.uk as the source for tidal information. [bw_tides tideurl=”https://www.tidetimes.co.uk/rss/chichester-harbour-entrance-tide- times”] ## Screenshots * [[ * Example UK tides block – for Chichester Harbour (Entrance) from tidetimes.org. uk * [[ * Sample output for Portsmouth, Hants – from tidetimes.org.uk * [[ * Sample output for Portsmouth, Hants – from tidetimes.co.uk ## Blocks This plugin provides 1 block. * UK tides Tide times and heights ## FAQ ### Installation 1. Upload the contents of the uk-tides plugin to the `/wp-content/plugins/uk-tides’ directory 2. Activate the uk-tides plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Whenever you want to produce UK Tide times and heights for the current date use the UK tides block. ### How do I find the value for tideurl? Note: This is not necessary when you use the block, the tideurl is automatically created based on your selection of Site and Port. * Visit www.tidetimes.org.uk, * click on the location of your choice, * click on the RSS feed icon, * copy the URL from the feed eg for Brighton Marina the value for tideurl is https://www.tidetimes.org.uk/brighton- marina-tide-times.rss OR * Visit www.tidetimes.co.uk, * click on the location of your choice, * click on the RSS feed icon, * copy the URL from the feed eg for Brighton Marina the value for tideurl is https:// www.tidetimes.co.uk/rss/brighton-marina-tide-times ### What if I don’t live in the UK? uk-tides currently only works for the UK and Ireland since the information is obtained from https://www.tidetimes.org.uk or https://www.tidetimes.co.uk If you can point us to a resource for other locations then it should be possible to develop a very similar solution. ### Isn’t there some JavaScript that does something similar? Yes. See https://www.tidetimes.org.uk/widgets or https://www.tidetimes.co.uk/widgets You may find the output harder to (re)style. ### Further reading If you want to read more about the oik plugins then please visit the [oik plugin](https://www.oik-plugins.com/oik)**“ OIK – OIK Information Kit”** ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “UK tides – heights and times” is open source software.
