How to check if a user has created any events, locations or bookings

Unfortunately, we don’t have any ready-made conditional placeholders for detecting those conditions.

You’d need to write some custom code that users the user ID to check for events, etc. in the database.

I didn’t expect there be a ready made code, but I was hoping someone could help me with it, because I don’t know how to.

the best example would be the template file at events-manager/templates/templates/my-bookings.php – you can create similar php functions to do this.

thanks will check, but any help is appreciated…

I took this from my-bookings.php

$EM_Person = new EM_Person( get_current_user_id() );
$EM_Bookings = $EM_Person->get_bookings();
$bookings_count = count($EM_Bookings->bookings);
if($bookings_count > 0) {
  // do something
}

but I get a fatal error.

Fatal error: Call to a member function get_bookings() on a non-object in /home/usr/domains/domain.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/v2/functions.php on line 383

lin 383 reads: $bookings_count = count($EM_regis->bookings);

$EM_regis is defined as $EM_regis = $uid->get_bookings();

Hiya,

As this is custom development it’s really outside the scope of the support we can provide here really.

Your error does suggest though that $EM_regis isn’t defined.

Philipjohn, the forums are THE place to look for any type of support (except the pro version, which I also have), so donnow what yer babbling about.

This is community support, howcome would that fall ‘outside’ of the support we can support ? And what do you mean with ‘we’ ? Afaik you’re just a member like me and not affiliated to Events Manager…

And as I said; $EM_regis is defined as $EM_regis = $uid->get_bookings();

I just changed some variable names, it’s all there.

Phil’s part of the EM support team – maybe you’ve seen him around the Pro forum ??

Sometimes other users pitch in and help with questions – which is great – but most questions are only answered by people from Events Manager. I think that’s what Phil meant – if we’re not able to help, you may not get a reply from anybody else.

But of course you might ??

Like Phil said, the error suggests $EM_regis isn’t defined. Depending on how and when you’re trying to use it, it might be you need to add a global reference before accessing it.

Very weird, because it was defined on the line before.
That’s why I came here ?? for some support from you guys…

You said look in my-bookings.php.
I need lines 5-8 in my code, but copying 1on1 didn’t seem to work.
So then I come back here of course…
But just copied it all from scratch again and now it seems to work for registrations but I’ld like to achieve the same for locations and events.

I checked events.php and locations.php to achieve the same there but I can’t get a query there so I used this.

$EM_Person = new EM_Person( get_current_user_id() );
$EM_Events = $EM_Person->get_events();
$events_count = count($EM_Events->events);

Does that make any sense ?

If you want me to move this to pro let me know.

can you try to add this at the top of your code?

global $wpdb, $current_user, $EM_Notices, $EM_Person;

I already had

global $EM_Events, $EM_Person;

but this didn’t work.

Adding the new ones didn’t change anything unfortunately.
$events_count is still 0 while it should be somewhere around 130.

I see, did you do this by creating custom placeholder and/or conditional placeholder or external functions (not using wp filter)?

No didn’t create anything custom…

It’s a widget I am creating to show logged in users a couple of options…

This is my entire current code for that widget in a pastebin…

how about changing

$events_count = count($EM_Events->events);

to

$events_count = count($EM_Events);

this works for me.

doesn’t work for me… ?? still 0
