HI there,
I’m trying to customize the output of the Upcoming Events widget. Currently it displays:
Event Title – Event Date
per event.
I’m trying to get it so that it displays:
Event Title – Event Date – Event Start Time
Number of Registrants / Registration Limit
per event
I understand that this means editing widget.php in plugins/event-espresso/templates and I also understand that the shortcode I’m likely trying to add is the [ATTENDEE_NUMBERS] but I’m not sure which line or where to add this to the widget.php file.
In addition to adding the attendee info, I’m also interested in adding the start time to the list of event title.
Hopefully what I’m trying to accomplish is clear; any help gratefully appreciated!

Hi,
This should get you started.
In the widget.php around line 129 you will see
<p><a href="<?php echo $registration_url; ? rel="nofollow">"><?php echo stripslashes_deep($event->event_name) ?> - <?php echo event_date_display($event->start_date) ?></a>
If you change it to the following it will add in what you need, you will just need to format it for your needs.
<p><a href="<?php echo $registration_url; ? rel="nofollow">"><?php echo stripslashes_deep($event->event_name) ?> - <?php echo event_date_display($event->start_date) ?> - <?php echo event_date_display($event->start_time, get_option('time_format')) ?> - <?php echo do_shortcode('[ATTENDEE_NUMBERS event_id="'.$event->id.'" type="num_attendees_slash_reg_limit"]'); ?></a>

Thank you so much!! I had pretty much figured out where to put the php shortcode calls but had the variable wrong. I was getting the php examples from:
https://eventespresso.com/forums/2010/10/post-type-variables-and-shortcodes/
and they all list .$event_id (which doesn’t appear to work) instead of your example of .$event->id. which does.
Thanks again for the help – this definitely gets me more than on the right track!

No problem glad you got it working.
As an aside, that documentation is 2-3 years old and variables/code changes over time so thats why the variables there werent working now.
