Hi All

Please bare with me as i'm a relative newcomer to CiviCRM and the coding that sits behind it.

I'd like to be able to modify the upcoming events menu item / front end view in joomla so that it displays the remaining spaces in an event.  Is this possible?

Could anyone point me in the right direction for a complete newb to understand?

Thanks all

Matt

You will need to do this via hooks. Check:

http://en.flossmanuals.net/civicrm-developer-guide/
wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC40/CiviCRM+hook+specification

I think u can use the pageRun hook to get the info for all the remaining spaces for all events and then customize the template to add this info to the screen. You will need php / civicrm api / mysql skills to do so

Thanks Lobo

Have been reading and trying to understand the concepts behind the hooks and api calls for the last day or so.  I think my brain is about to explode!

Ok so am I right in saying that I need to code a segment into /CRM/Utils/Hook.php and put the hook_civicrm_pageRun( &$page ) in the template file??? Or is this complete nonsense and I should get someone who knows what they are looking at?

Thanks and Regards

Matt
