  3. Use the Settings->DVLA Search screen to configure the plugin with your API Key\n1.1 If you want to test the Plugin you can use the example API Key \"DvlaSearchDemoAccount\" and test with a registration number beginning MT09 or FH51 such as MT09NKS.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    3. By default the widget will point at the simple results page and the widget will have no title.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

      Create a Custom Results Page<\/h4>\n\n

      To display the results on your own page, you can use the provided shortcodes as follows:<\/p>\n\n

        \n
      1. Create a new page from Pages->Add New<\/li>\n
      2. Use the [dvla_search_success][\/dvla_search_success]<\/code> block to wrap the content to show if the search returned valid results.<\/li>\n
      3. Use the [dvla_search_error][\/dvla_search_error]<\/code> block to wrap a message to display if there was an error.<\/li>\n
      4. You can display the results data with the [dvla_search_result]<\/code> shortcode by specifying one or more field to output.\n1.1 For example, to display the vin use [dvla_search_result vin]<\/code>\n1.1 Or to display the colour and model use [dvla_search_result colour model]<\/code>\n1.1 For a full list of fields available see the help page at DVLA Search->Shortcode Help or in the readme.<\/li>\n
      5. Save your page and take note of the slug.<\/li>\n
      6. Update the widget \"Results Page\" option with the slug of your custom results page.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
