 * Hello,
    I have one problem. I want to do something like booking list and I don`
   t know how to do a “dead-line” counting or something like that.
 * mmmm…. I mean there is a fields named “Slots” and “Slots left”.
 * In “slots” we have number, ex. 5. Then in “slots left” creator of table set 4
   of the maximum, after publishing other users, can sign-in in this field so the
   number will count down. Ex.:
 * Slots: 5
    Slots left: 4 (user set max. 4)
 * User want to book the slot, so he write inside box his name, ex:
    Name: Raintek
 * So after that, this table should look like this:
    Slots: 5 Slots left: 3 (Raintek
   booked 1 place)
 * So is it possible to do something like this? Beacuse I have a small problem with
   that 🙂
 * Kind Regards,
    Raintek

 * Yes, you’ll need some programming knowledge to build this. It’s certainly possible,
   but you’ll need a template that gets a value from the database so that when someone
   is filling out the form, the correct number of slots available is shown.
 * You can put this kind of thing into a custom plugin template, [this page](http://xnau.com/work-2/wordpress-plugins/participants-database/pdb-templates/)
   explains the general idea for that part.
