Hi,
I have a list with pictures about a category on a page. Now I want that the users know how much events are in this category.
So I want something like a counter that shows me the number of the avtive avents in this category. Is this possible maybe with a shortcode or something else?
EE: v3.1.36.1.P
WP: v3.7.1
Thanks
Bernhard

Hi,
There isn’t a shortcode for it, but it could be done with one or two lines of code.
Edit the event_list.php file, around line 274 just after it says
<pre class=”brush: php; gutter: true; first-line: 1; highlight: []; html-script: false”>if ( $events) {
Below that add
<pre class=”brush: php; gutter: true; first-line: 1; highlight: []; html-script: false”>echo count($events);
This will simply add a number whihc corresponds with the number of events listed.
You could dress it up a bit like
<pre class=”brush: php; gutter: true; first-line: 1; highlight: []; html-script: false”>echo "<p>Number of Events found: " . count($events) . "</p>";

Thanks for the answer. Sorry it´s not that what I´m searching for. Here is the link about my problem:
I have listed images that should describe a random category. You get to the category when u klick on the image-link. Now I want a counter description which gives the users a feedback of that how much active events are in this category…

Try:
You can add this code to one of the following:
1 – Your theme’s functions.php file. It may get overwritten the next time you update your theme.
2 – The EE custom files add-on in the custom_functions.php file.
3 – Use this blank plugin to hold the custom function.

Thanks a lot. Even though it doesn`t work :(
I added the code into my funtions.php (/includes/admin-files/) right after the line “<?php”. When I use this code on my site “[COUNT_EVENTS_IN_CATEGORY event_category_id=”02″]” nothing changes.

Hi,
Wrong functions.php, it would need to go into the Themes functions.php file, not the one in Event Espresso.

:) ok, now I’m a step further! Hopefully one last thing: It shows me an incorrect number of active events. It shows 6 instead of 3. I’ve deleted all events in the trash, pending, inactive… and deleted cache – without success. Do u have any solution for this?

For the category_id attribute in the shortcode, you’ll want to use the ‘Unique Category Identifier’ in the category editor. It should be the same as the one in the EVENT_ESPRESSO_CATEGORY shortcode that shows in the category’s row in the Manage Event Categories admin page.

That’s the code that I used for it. I found out, that if I delete a event and then also deltete. In the trash, nothing changes in the number, that is shown. So there must be something wrong in the code or is there a way to delete events after the trash?

When the event is deleted, it must not be updating the category rel table. I’ve updated the gist above to take that into consideration.
