[Plugin: Events Manager] Events list page layout question

    Thanks for the great plug-in. I have a question that I hope someone can help me with. I am trying to figure out how to get events-manager to display in what could be considered a unique way (without having to manually do it) so the page is a little more friendly looking to my visitors.
    On my page, I am using the plug-in as a community calendar for my area. I figured out how to get the list to show on the main events page so each upcoming item lists down the page like:
    date – event name – location
    date – event name – location
    date – event name – location

    The problem is that there is no real separation between months and even days. Can the list be set up to instead so that I can automatically have the plug-in display the month, then break the list down to show by day of the month and the corresponding items for that day and so on…
    This is kind of how I want my list to show:

    March, 2010
    Wednesday, March 31st
    event1 – Location
    event2 – Location

    April 2010
    Thursday, April 1nd
    event3 – Location
    Event4 – Location

    Friday, April 2nd
    event5 – Location
    Event6 – Location

    and so on… If anyone can clue me in/provide me details on how to do this, i would be ever so grateful.

    Thanks again for the great work on the events-manager plug-in. I look forward to more and more cool features.

    this is possible, but you need to know php and be able to understand the code a bit. if you look at the docs on http://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/, that’ll get you started, we’ll be adding more info asap

    Yeah, I was reading the docs and the php files. I think I may be able to do it. To get strated, can you tell me which files I would have to modify?

    don’t modify the plugin files, you could either create a template or a shortcode in your functions.php to display the list of events

    EM_Events::get() will get you the current/future events as an array of EM_Event objects, then sort them out however you want to display. You can then use EM_Event->output() to print out each event.

    I switched from classipress to twenty ten but still the Events page shows nothing.

    firstly, is the events plugin activated? the page will still show if deactivated.

    if it is activated, can you check in settings page that your ‘Events page’ setting corresponds to the event page?

    Thanks for the response M.
    The plugin is activated but are there any particular settings i need to select for it to appear on my events page?
    I am using classipress.

    don’t know what classipress is, but the option i mentioned above should match with the page you want to show events.
