   I'm using latest version of wordpress & events-manager and twenty-ten theme.

   I have copied events-manager/templates/templates/events-list.php to my theme folder and adjusted settings in events-manager (events-manager-options#pages > Override with Formats? > NO) so that it reads events-list.php for formatting.

   I know it is reading events-list.php because if I add "TEST" to the top of the file it displays at the top of the events list page.

   BUT I am stuck because I do not know how to "format" this single line on events-list.php which seems to display the list of events...
   EM_Events::output($args);

   I have successfully edited the template for a SINGLE event page by editing loop-single.php in my theme folder but, after hours of searching and reading, I am stuck as to how to edit events-list.php to customise my events list page.

   http://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/advanced-usage/ and
   http://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/using-template-files/ does not help.

   Can someone please point me in the right direction?

   Thank you.

   (Please note - I do not want to change the output of EM_Events::output($args) - I want to format or add html code around each event in the list that is produced by EM_Events::output($args))

   So I figured it out myself. Don't know if this is the correct/best way to do it but it works for me. NOTE: EVENTS MANAGER PLUGIN PEOPLE... it would be great if you could add this 'how to' to your documentation to help out other noobs who might be struggling like me - or if it IS there already, make it more obvious because I couldn't find it. (But other than this issue I must say I am VERY HAPPY with your events plugin! Thank you.)

   I copied the events-list.php from the plugin directory to my theme:
   wp-content/themes/twentyten/plugins/events-manager/templates/events-list.php

   and then I changed this line:
   echo EM_Events::output( $args );

   to:

   echo EM_Events::output(array('format'=>
   '<a href="#_EVENTURL" border=0>$mycustomphpstuffiwantedherethatdoesntshowifiuseformats</a>
   <B>#_EVENTLINK</B><br/>#_EVENTDATES #_EVENTTIMES<BR/><i>#_LOCATIONNAME, #_LOCATIONADDRESS, #_LOCATIONTOWN </i><br/><a href="#_EVENTURL">Details & map</a><HR>',
    'limit'=>20, 'pagination'=>1));

   :)

   Thank you so much for your code Debsch! This saved me a lot of time and headaches.

   One question though, it works like a charm, the only thing I can't get to work is the #_EVENTIMAGE or #_EVENTIMAGE{x,y} placeholders. I've tried both without luck.

   These show without a problem on the single event posts, but not elsewhere such as the homepage. Any idea how to get them working?

   Just to update my message = I discovered that images uploaded through the Events Manager default "Submit an Event" page showed. If added through the WP-admin using the upload media link, it does not show.

   Now to find out why #_EVENTEXCERPT shows ALL of the #_EVENTNOTES instead of just 40 or so words... :)

   Thank again Debsch!

   @sohum, are you using the Read More link in the WP WYSIWYG to create the break for the excerpt?

   Hi Chris, I wasn't.

   The site will allow for readers to submit events and the WYSIWYG is disabled for this reason.

   I also didn't want to rely on reader to include the break at the appropriate point. Could foresee readers wanting their event to standout, for example, and them not adding a break which would affect the site layout.

   My solution was to add a limited height to the div displaying the events, and then use css to control the overflow. Nasty hack...

    THANK YOU WORDPRESS and thank you ME!
    12 months later and I had completely forgotten how/where to edit the events list page. So thanks for the reminder!
