# [Plugin: Events Manager] Formatting issue

 * Ive been using this plugin for a while, an I love it.
    Got a new site using it,
   and for the first tie i have t odo some formatting to the full calendar.
 * most of the responses i see say ‘ use firebug’ or ‘edit the CSS’
 * Ive done both – and tried both, but i’m having 2 issues.
 * 1) How do i get the DAY titles to sho either 3 letter representation or full 
   day names rather than just M, T, W, T, F, S
 * and 2) i was able to remove the bullet point – but the formatting/padding of 
   the event name is still showing up with an indentation before it – causing it
   to be off center.
 * in turn, any day without an event has odd formatting as well – where the date
   number is centered in the box rather than in the top left.
 * any assistance is greatly appreciated.

 * 1 – you need to edit the templates/templates/calendar-small.php and copy it to
   yourtheme/plugins/events-manager/templates/
 * 2 onwards are CSS issues

 * they have seperate template files, so you can override one, the other, or both.

 * Hi,
 * About changing the full-calendar day header from MTW to atleast 3 letters; I 
   have a code snippet here which you can try in the full-calendar template and 
   if you have some php knowledge you can improve this and share it again…
 * Replace this original header
    `<td><?php echo implode('</td><td>',$calendar['
   row_headers']); ?></td>`
 * to this
    `<td><?php echo implode('</td><td>',$day_array); ?></td>`
 * then above that past this code
 *     ```
       <?php
       				$week_start = get_option('start_of_week');
       				$temp_array = array("Sun","Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu","Fri","Sat");
       				$day_array = array();
       				$id = 0;
       				$temp = false;
       				$temp2 = false;
       				while ($temp == false){
       					foreach($temp_array as $day_id => $day_value ){
       						if ( $id < 7 && !in_array($day_value,$day_array) ){
       							if ( $temp2 ){
       								$day_array[$id] = $day_value;
       								$id++;
       							}
       							if ( $week_start == $day_id && !$temp2 ){
       								$day_array[$id] = $day_value;
       								$temp2 = true;
       								$id++;
       							}
       						}
       					}
       					if ($id >= 7){ $temp = true; }
       				}
       			?>
       ```
