# [Plugin: Events Manager] custom format

 * So far this plugin is working really well, does everything I want, but I’m having
   trouble finding out how to do the following:
 * I already have a ‘format’ setup under the ‘Default event list format’ setting,
   but I also need a second output format for displaying different information, 
   in a different format on another page. Is it possible to code the format into
   a template file rather than through the events manager settings panel?

 * Thanks guys, having trouble finding the right page in the documentation though,
   found the shortcodes but can’t seem to find how to override the format using 
   code in a template.

 * Playing around with this now. I’m looking at creating a new formats template,
   looked through the readme and followed the instructions which is all good, however
   the readme file doesn’t explain how to call the new format template to my theme?
