Configuration

PHP Path

If the path to PHP on your system is different from /opt/homebrew/bin/php, you'll need to adjust the first line of the script. Here's how:

1. Find the PHP path: Open Terminal and type which php. This will give you the exact path of PHP on your system.

2. Edit the script: Open VeliBar.php in your favorite text editor and replace the first line with #!/path/found/php, using the path found in the previous step.

Changing Stations to Monitor

By default, the plugin monitors certain stations. To change which stations are monitored:

1. Find station codes: Visit www.velib-metropole.fr/map to find the codes of the stations you want to monitor.

2. Edit the script: Open VeliBar.php in your text editor and locate the line starting with $stationsCode =. Replace the existing station codes with the ones you've chosen.
