Hi! I’ve been going through the documentation and forum, but I can’t find the answer. I want to display the number of available spaces on my registration page. It seems that a lot of users on this forum have problems hiding the number of available places, but for me the problem is the other way round. I’m using recurring events. Thanks!

Hi Jeroen,

Here is the documentation on the Attendee Numbers shortcode: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/shortcodes-template-variables/#attendee-numbers

Hi Garth,

Thanks for your quick reply. I still don’t quite understand where to put this shortcode. Ideally, I want the number of available spaces to show up in the dropdown table, or, if that’s not possible, on the registration page. And do I have to manually paste this code to every individual event, or is there an easier way? I have over a hundred events on my site. Thanks!

Hi,

The shortcode would go in the event description.

If you don’t mind adding some PHP code, you can add it in one or two lines and make it show on ALL events.

first copy the registration_page.php and registration_page_display.php fropm event-espresso/templates over to wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates.

Then edit the registration_page_display.php and insert the following

<?php echo '<p class="section-title"><span class="span_event_time_label">Available spaces: </span>' . do_shortcode('[ATTENDEE_NUMBERS event_id='. $event_id . ' type=available_spaces]') . '</p>'; ?>

to around line 104 or just above where is says

<div class="event_espresso_form_wrapper">

Thanks. I was just to about to test this, but now I see that all my events have dissapeared (both front and back end). Could this have something to do with the fact that the event dates have passed? Or that I haven’t yet typed in my license code? (Haven’t done that, because I’m still testing).

Even stranger, I’ve just added a new event that shows up at the front end, but has dissapeared from the back end. How can I delete this event? Thanks!

Never mind, I just needed to set the filter.

And the shortcode work perfectly. Many thanks for your help!
