.. understand the events placeholder – the right way?

[Anonymous]

Hi Franky,

I just played around as I would like to display information on available, reserved and booked seats…

#_RESERVEDSPACES (or #_BOOKEDSEATS) gives the number of seats registered in total for an event
#_RESERVEDSPACES{xx} (or #_BOOKEDSEATS{xx}) gives the number of seats registered for the xx-th seat category for a multi-seat event
#_AVAILABLESPACES (or #_AVAILABLESEATS) gives the number of seats free for an event
#_AVAILABLESPACES{xx} (or #_AVAILABLESEATS{xx}) gives the number of seats free for the xx-th seat category for a multi-seat event
#_PENDINGSPACES (or #_PENDINGSEATS) gives the number of seats pending for an event
#_PENDINGSPACES{xx} (or #_PENDINGSEATS{xx}) gives the number of seats pending for the xx-th seat category for a multi-seat event
#_TOTALSPACES (or #_TOTALSEATS) gives the number of seats in total for an event
#_TOTALSPACES{xx} (or #_TOTALSEATS{xx}) gives the number of seats in total for the xx-th seat category for a multi-seat event

But for any reason there seems to be no option to display the number of seats that are confirmed seats vs. an placeholder that would not take pending seats into account?

#_RESERVEDSPACES (or #_BOOKEDSEATS) includes the pending seats!
#_AVAILABLESPACES (or #_AVAILABLESEATS) does not show pending seats!
#_PENDINGSPACES (or #_PENDINGSEATS) shows all pending seats!
#_TOTALSPACES (or #_TOTALSEATS) shows the max. participants!

So I’m missing something like #_CONFIRMEDSEATS right?

There is also a question coming up, is there any option to indicate a minimum number of participants in order to make an event going to happen?

Concerning your placeholder question: nobody requested it so far 🙂
But it is implemented now:
https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/1058390/events-made-easy

Concerning your minimum: you can use conditional tags to compare the number of participants with the wanted limit and show a text accordingly, see http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=24

Excellent! Thank you so much!

So this should do the trick…?

[eme_if tag='#ESC_APPROVEDSPACES' le='#ESC_ATT{MINSEAT}'] minimum participants not reached [/eme_if]

When will your changes be submitted to WP.org? Or is there a version that can be downloaded prior to it’s publishing approval date by WP.org?
