Bookings placeholder question | WordPress.org

Hi,

I love how customisable Events Manager is, but am having a few problems customising my own bookings page. I’m trying to use bookings placeholders like #_BOOKINGSPACES and #_BOOKINGPRICE on my custom ‘My Bookings’ page but they don’t seem to be working.

I did read somewhere that they only work in e-mails, but it says on the placeholder documentation page: “When a specific booking is displayed (on screen and on email), you can use these placeholders to show specific information about the booking. Event and Location placeholders are also available in these cases.”
I assume ‘on screen’ refers to on a custom page then if it’s not an e-mail??

I’m using [events_list bookings=1] to display the bookings, I don’t know if this is wrong or if I should be using something else/doing something differently. Sorry if I’m completely missing something!
The default bookings page shows booked spaces and the booking status (Approved/Pending), these two values are really important for us to display to customers, especially the booking status.

hi,

this isn’t possible however you can create your own custom placeholder – http://wp-events-plugin.com/tutorials/create-a-custom-placeholder-for-event-formatting/

Actual bookings won’t show that way, you’d need to use PHP to load up your bookings e.g.
```
$EM_Person = new EM_Person(get_current_user_id());
$EM_Bookings = $EM_Person->get_bookings();
foreach($EM_Bookings as $EM_Booking){
  $EM_Booking->output('placeholders go here');
}
```
warning- untested, written here by hand so there may be syntax errors.
