 * Hi, great plugin. I’m having trouble using custom templates. I’ve created a template
   but don’t show a **“Use this template”** checkbox as the default templates do.
   How can I use my own templates to show a list of events? Also want to change 
   the default view of the shortcode to edit how each event is listed, I found this
   file:
    **my-calendar-output.php** Is possible to redefine it in my theme folder
   to be able to cahnge it and not losing these changes after every plugin update?
   Thanks in advance.

 * If you add a custom template, then you’d access it using the ‘template’ attribute
   in shortcodes – pass the template key into the attribute for it to be accessed.
 * If you want to use PHP logic in your template, I recommend using the custom template
   filter, demonstrated here:
