Usage
To display the standard booking form on the frontend, use the following shortcode:
[simpbire_bike_rental]
You can add this shortcode to any post or page. The form will automatically load available bikes and booking options based on your settings.
Tip: Create a dedicated page (for example, “Book a Bike”) and place the shortcode there for easy access.
Bike grid (catalog view)
You can display a grid of available bikes using this shortcode:
[simpbire_bike_grid columns=”4″ type=”e-bike”]
Available attributes: – columns: number of columns in the grid – type: filter bikes by type (optional)
Each bike in the grid shows a “Check availability” button.
Single bike page
To display the booking flow for a specific bike, use the single bike shortcode:
[simpbire_bike id=”4″ show_calendars=”true” months=”3″]
Available attributes: – id: the bike ID (required) – show_calendars: show availability calendars (true or false) – months: number of months to display in the calendar
This shortcode is intended to be used on a dedicated bike detail page.
Mini availability calendars
You can display compact availability calendars using this shortcode:
[simpbire_mini_calendar bike_id=”1″ months=”3″ legend=”1″]
Available attributes: – bike_id: the bike ID (required) – months: number of months to display – legend: show the availability legend (1 to enable, 0 to disable)
Linking the bike details page
To use the booking flow “bike grid → single bike page”, each bike must be linked to its detail page.
How it works: – The [simpbire_bike_grid] shortcode displays a list of bikes with a “Check availability” button. – If a details URL is set for a bike, the button and the bike image link to that page. – The destination page must contain the shortcode [simpbire_bike id=”X”], where X is the bike ID.
Required setup: – Create a dedicated page for the bike (or for each bike type). – Add the shortcode [simpbire_bike id=”X”] to that page. – Open the bike settings in the admin panel. – Set the “Bike details URL” field to the page URL.
Note: If the details URL is not set, the “Check availability” button will be disabled.
