Hey Jake,

Best thing to do here is create a custom shortcode.

I whipped this up, it’s VERY basic, but should give you an idea as to what can be achieved.

And yes, I hardcoded the site URL for the registration URL, so that needs to be changed.

[eecountdown event_id=”1″]

function eecountdown($atts) {
	extract(shortcode_atts(array('event_id' => ''), $atts));
$event_id = "{$event_id}";

	global $wpdb, $espresso_manager, $current_user, $org_options;

	$sql = "SELECT * FROM " . EVENTS_DETAIL_TABLE . " WHERE id = '$event_id'";

	$event = $wpdb->get_row($sql);

//uncomment below to see the $event array
//echo "<pre>" . print_r($event, 1) . "</pre>";
	$current_date = strtotime(date('Y-m-d'));
	$start_date = strtotime($event->start_date);

	$time_remaining = $start_date - $current_date;
	$time_remaining = floor($time_remaining/(60*60*24));

?>

<h2><?php echo $time_remaining; ?></h2>
<p>Days remaining until</p>
<p><?php echo $event->event_name; ?></p>
<p><?php echo apply_filters('filter_hook_espresso_display_featured_image', $event_id, !empty($event_meta['event_thumbnail_url']) ? $event_meta['event_thumbnail_url'] : '');?></p>

<p><?php echo espresso_format_content($event->event_desc); ?></p>
<p><a href="http://www.XXXX.com/event-registration/?ee=<?php echo $event_id;?>">Register Now</a>
<?php
}
add_shortcode('eecountdown','eecountdown');
