Hi Fran,

Currently Event Espresso does not have a feature that automates or enforces a minimum attendee limit. What some folks have done is set the Default Registration Status setting to “Not Approved”, then once there are a minimum number of sign ups, they switch the event’s Default Registration Status to “Pending Payment”. They also switch the registrations to “Pending Payment” status, which allows for payment to secure the tickets.

The only way to automate notifications that certain classes haven’t met the minimum would be to build a custom plugin with that specific functionality.

Rather than building a private page that lists out upcoming classes and the number of registrations, you could instead use the regular event list and just display the registration count for the logged in site admin.

So for example you could add this code to a site specific plugin:

add_action( 
    'AHEE_event_details_after_the_content', 
    'ee_display_registration_count', 
    10, 
    2 
);
function ee_display_registration_count( $post ) {
  if(!current_user_can('ee_edit_events')){
    return; // get out!
  }
  $event = $post->EE_Event;
  if ( $event instanceof EE_Event ) {
    if ( ! $event->is_sold_out() && $event->is_upcoming() ) {
      //get total approved registrations count
      $spots_taken = EEM_Registration::instance()->count(array(
        array(
          'EVT_ID' => $post->ID,
          //'STS_ID' => EEM_Registration::status_id_approved,
        ),
      ), 'REG_ID', true);
      // output some html
      $style = 'background-color:#efefef;';
      $style .= 'text-align:center;';
      $style .= 'padding:2em; margin:1em;';
      $style .= 'font-weight:bold;';
      $html = '<div style="'.$style.'" class="registrations">';
      $html .= 'Number of registrations: ';
      $html .= $spots_taken . '</div>';
      echo $html;
    }
  }
}

and that will display the registration count if they’re logged into the site and have the capability to edit Event Espresso events.

Hi Fran,

Yes, you can do this instead:

add_filter(
    'FHEE__espresso_list_of_event_dates__datetime_html', 
    'ee_display_datetime_registration_counts', 
    20, 
    2
);

function ee_display_datetime_registration_counts($html, $datetime){
    if(!current_user_can('ee_edit_events')){
        return $html; // get out!
    }
    $count_regs_for_this_datetime = EEM_Registration::instance()->count(
        array(
            array(
                'REG_deleted'              => 0,
                'Ticket.Datetime.DTT_ID'   => $datetime->ID(),
            ),
           'default_where_conditions' => 'this_model_only'
        )
    );
    $style = 'background-color:#efefef; text-align:center;';
    $style .= 'padding:1em 0; margin:1em 1em 1em 0;';
    $style .= 'font-weight:bold;';    
    $html .= '<div style="'.$style.'" class="ee-reg-count">Number of Regisistrations: ';
    $html .= $count_regs_for_this_datetime . '</div>';
    return $html;
}
