I want to advertise “X spots remaining” on my home page for different events. How can I access that data?

Hi there,
You mentioned you are a developer in another thread so I’ll answer as such.
How are you pulling in the events on the home page? I’m assuming you have the event post from within a custom loop?
If you have an EE_Event object you can use the spaces_remaining_for_sale() method to pull the number spaces, then just use use that to build out your own string.
$event = $post->EE_Event;
if( $event instanceof EE_Event) {
$spaces_remaining = $event->spaces_remaining_for_sale();
echo $spaces_remaining . " spaces remaining!";
}

I’m a back end php dev but don’t have a lot of wordpress experience. I have a theme that has a section where I can add programs so I’ve added a program on the home page that will also have an event in event espresso so I am not actually pulling the events to the front page.
What is $post in the example you posted? And is there API documentation anywhere for this?
Thanks,
Tucker

What is a ‘program’ and how are you adding an EE event to the front page if you don’t have the event? Manually entering the details?
What is $post in the example you posted?
$post would contain the current ‘post’, usually from within the_loop or your own custom loop. Without knowing how you’re pulling the details in (which apparently you are not?) I can’t really be any more specific.
And is there API documentation anywhere for this?
API for which part?
We have developer documentation available here:
https://github.com/eventespresso/event-espresso-core/tree/master/docs
However, if you don’t have experience with WordPress and using posts you’ll find a lot of it may not make sense.
