Hi John,

I’d recommend using the [ATTENDEE_NUMBERS] shortcode for this:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/shortcodes-template-variables/#attendee-numbers

Depending on where you want the counter to show up, it can be used on a page like this:

[ATTENDEE_NUMBERS event_id=1 type= available_spaces]

or within template code like this:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[ATTENDEE_NUMBERS event_id="'.$event_id.'" type="available_spaces"]');?>

Unfortunately this only shows a zero.

Hi John,

Which version of Event Espresso are you using, and which template file are you customizing?

Ideally I would like to show tickets left/max tickets

I am using this code

/

Any ideas?

Hi John,

I’m not sure why you were having trouble with posting the code. Sorry about that.

So here’s the code:

 / 

The $event_id variable isn’t declared as such in espresso_table.php. You can use $event-&gt;id though. So I’d change the code to read as:

id.'" type="num_attendees"]');?&gt; / id.'" type="reg_limit"]');?&gt;

Seth is actually going through some of those custom files templates and updating them to use some of the newer Event Espresso functions and variables.

Wow. That serves me right for copying and pasting that code from pastebin. Here’s a second crack:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[ATTENDEE_NUMBERS event_id="'.$event->id.'" type="num_attendees"]');?>
 / 
<?php echo do_shortcode('[ATTENDEE_NUMBERS event_id="'.$event->id.'" type="reg_limit"]');?>

Make sure you remove that ! in just before the second echo statement.
