Something like this should work fine:
[events_list scope="past"]

Hi caiman_nwl,
Thanks your reply, apologise my delay in so doing. I was aware of being able to do that in the events list. I want to keep the events list format as is for one page, but separately show a single event itself (the most recent one that has taken place ) on a separate page, using something like:-
[event scope=”past” ] but this does not work since this shortcode requires a postid to pick up a specific event. Even then I would like to be able to format this event differently from future events (e.g. not showing date/time/map etc).
An alternative that I understand is not possible is to have a second template for the events_list.
—-perhaps I am hoping for too much.
Regards,
Im afraid that scope attribute will not work on [event] shortcode since it’s per event or post id.

Hi angelo, I am grateful for your reply, I had appreciated the point you made. So my question is:
Is it possible to display events in more than one format on differing pages?
If this requires some customisation I am happy to have a crack at that. However from what I have read this does not seem to be possible because talk in the codex refers to ‘over riding’ templates rather than adding additional. Or is this simply a semantic miss understanding on my part?

Ok as you probably guessed I am a novice at this. After much flapping around I have alighted on a solution. I have written a custom shortcode function as follows:
function my_shortcodef($atts) {
if (class_exists(‘EM_Events’)) {
$events = EM_Events::get( array( ‘scope’=>’past’, ‘limit’=>1, ‘orderby’=>’name’) );
foreach ($events as $event) {
echo ($event->event_name).’
‘;
echo ($event->post_content).’
‘;
echo ‘——————————————————————
‘;}}}
As you can see it lacks formatting but I can at least get hold of the data.
Hope this approach is supportable.
Regards,
There are some built-in WordPress functions for checking which page is being displayed. This might help:
