Description
This plugin creates an image of the legally required EU tyre label with parameter via a shortcode.
[eutl fuel= "A" grip="G" noise="3" db="77" size="" ]
To add the shortcode you have the following options:
- enter the shortcode in the classic editor,
- click the special button in the classic tinyMCE editor and a window pops up where you can input all the possible parameters,
- enter the shortcode as text in a gutenberg block,
- or use the special gutenberg block for shortcodes.
Within the shortcode you can specify all the necessary parameter options of the label:
- fuel consumption: A-G
- wet grip: A-G
- noise level: 0-3
- dB level: 0-99
- image size as width: (optional)
You can specify the size of the resulting image. By default the shortcode generates an image with 225 x 330 pixel. The size parameter determines the width of the image. Possible values are 25 px width up to max 300 px width (at 440 px height).
The shortcode calls a php-function and returns a png-image of the label.
Further information about the EU tyre label requirements and legal background can be found here:

-
<img src="https:// … /wp-content/plugins/eu-tyre-label-shortcode/php/get-eu-tyre-label.php?fuel=A&grip=G&noise=3&db=77&size=225" alt="EU tyre label" />
-
The image does not show correctly
-
This error can occur when the shortcode is not correctly formated. Check that all values in the shortcode are inside double quotes. Also make sure, that an empty value is represented by an empty pair of double quotes.
A correct shortcode looks like this:

-
Values of the shortcode are not shown
-
Check if the quotation marks in the shortcode are correct. The simple quotation marks are needed, not typographic marks.
-
How much space occupy the images on my server?
-
The images are not stored, and do not occupy space. They are generated on the fly each time the shortcode is called.
-
Can you help me with coding problems?
-
As this is a free plugin, we can only offer limited support to the direct use of the shortcode. If you need further professional service for implementing the EU tyre label in you projects, you can contact us for an individual agreement. Leusing Webdesign
-
Is there a special solution for WooCommerce?
-
Yes, at Leusing Webdesign we work on a special plugin for WooCommerce with database connection. This will be soon available as premium version.
-
C1, C2 and C3 type of vehicle tyres
-
We got a feedback, that the label should show one more parameter for the type of vehicle, C1, C2 or C3. The coding for this extra parameter is ready. If you like to see this feature, please give us an info, then we will publish and update the new code here.
-
Are other languages supported?
-
The plugin contains by nature very little text. Only the parameter fields of the shortcode have some words. So far the version is english. A later version will soon have translation features.
Also we plan a specific german version, too.
