Hi Paul,

The ticket capacity is part of the ticket details section (hidden until you click the “show details” link on the ticket itself).

Unlike EE3, there is no specific shortcode to pull out the available tickets.

Thanks for sharing that insight. You can trigger the ticket selector to expand on a page load by using something like this:

function ee_ticket_selector_show_details() {
 ?>
 <script type="text/javascript">
 jQuery(document).ready(function () {
setTimeout(function() {
 jQuery(".display-tckt-slctr-tkt-details").trigger('click'); 
    },5);
});
 </script>
 <?php
 }
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'ee_ticket_selector_show_details' );

That would make the ticket details available to attendees/registrants.

Hi Paul,

We recommend adding this type of code into a site functionality plugin. The theme’s functions.php file will work as well.

More than one way. One way would be to remove the unwanted elements from the ticket selector table template. The name of the file that handles this is ticket_selector_chart.template.php. It turns out there’s a filter that makes it possible to load your custom template from your theme or another location. I posted a few code examples on how to load a customized ticket_selector_chart.template.php file here:

Alternatively, the extra information that you don’t want can be hidden with the CSS display:none; rule.

Hi Paul,

It’s not a dumb question, and the answer is you don’t. This is the kind of thing that involves copying files and modifying them using a text editor and an FTP client.

-or- if you go the CSS route your WordPress theme might have a custom stylesheet where you can add your custom CSS to.

-or- as another option if you have a custom snippets plugin set up, you can add to and adapt this code snippet to get what you’re after:

Hi Paul,

The only way to do that would be to modify the function and turn it into a shortcode, then you can add the shortcode to the Tablepress field.

function my_print_tickets_left_after_selector($atts) {
    global $wpdb;

$EVT_ID = $atts['evt_id'];

 $x = '';
    $x .= '<ul style="margin-left:0;">';
 
        $sql = "SELECT DTT_name, DTT_reg_limit, DTT_sold ";
        $sql .= "FROM {$wpdb->prefix}esp_datetime ";
        $sql .= "WHERE {$wpdb->prefix}esp_datetime.EVT_ID = %d";
        
        $datetimes = $wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare( $sql, $EVT_ID ));
        
        foreach($datetimes as $datetime){
            $name = !empty($datetime->DTT_name) ? ($datetime->DTT_name) : 'this event';
            $limit = $datetime->DTT_reg_limit;
            $sold = $datetime->DTT_sold;
            $remainderp = $limit - $sold;
            $remain = $limit == -1 ? 'bucketloads of' : $remainderp;
            if ( $limit == $sold ) : 
                $x .= $name . ' is <b>sold out</b>';
            else :
                $x .= sprintf( _nx(
                    '%1$sThere is one space left for %3$s</li>', 
                    '%1$sThere are %2$s spaces left for %3$s</li>', 
                    $remain, 'event ticket info', 'event_espresso' ),
                    '<li style="list-style-type:none;">', $remain, '<span>' . $name . '</span>'
                    );
            endif;
        }
 
    $x .= '</ul>';

    return $x;

}
add_shortcode('show_capacity','my_print_tickets_left_after_selector');
