Thanks, Angelo. But those don’t seem to have an effect. I have the ‘current events as past events’ set to ‘no’. And i tried putting the long_events arg in as shown here.
Here’s my events-list-grouped.php code :

if( get_option('dbem_css_evlist') ) echo "<div class='css-events-list'>";

if( empty($args['category']) ){
  $args['category'] = '124';
  $_REQUEST['category'] = '124';
}
 $args['long_events'] = 1;
echo '<div class="smallbox-right-border">'.kumu_emscalendar().'</div><div style="clear:both;"></div>';
echo EM_Events::output_grouped($args); //note we're grabbing the content, not em_get_events_list_grouped function

if( get_option('dbem_css_evlist') ) echo "</div>";

Do i have the $arg for long_events correct?

My long events do show up in my Calendar, but not the group list.

Yes, I’ll be running this small bit which calls my 3rd style as a variable. In this case I’m using the name of the style “End Date=2015-06-15” as the maxDate in my popup calendar. I already have it working in em-event-posts-admin.php in the admin_notices() function , but i dont want to keep it there.

$my_em_styles = (is_array(get_option('my_em_styles'))) ? get_option('my_em_styles'):array();
	    $kumumaxdateex = explode ('=',$my_em_styles[3]);
	    $kumumaxdate = $kumumaxdateex[1];
	    $pubmaxselectabledate = sprintf(__( 'Max Publicly Selectable Date : '.$kumumaxdate));
?><div class="updated"><p><?php echo $warning ?></p></div><div class="updated"><p><?php echo $pubmaxselectabledate; ?></p></div><?php
	}

The reason I want to display it in the Recurring Events page is just a reminder to whoever is loading the events to change it if they need to. The popup with the maxDate range is part of a custom satellite application that uses Events Manager to display our hours of operation. – just in case you were wondering why we are doing it that way.

Got it. just eliminated && empty($_REQUEST['category']) to make it work for search.

Hi, angelo. I figured out my problem. Was using events-list.php but I needed to use events-list-grouped.php.
Works like a charm.
You and Marcus are awesome for answering questions. Thank you!

Thanks, angelo. Your reply is much appreciated.
I found something that works.
I first tried
$mydates = EM_Events::get(array('orderby'=>'event_end_date', 'order' => 'DESC', 'limit' => 1));
And was able to echo the last end date by putting it into a foreach like this
foreach ( $mydates as $mydate ) {echo $mydate;}
But it displayed the result as yy-mm-dd.
In order to put the date into the jquery that the datepicker would read, i needed mm/dd/yy .
So I tried this and it seems to work. Do you think doing it this way, with an explode, is a good way to do it? Do you know a way to do it from the EM_Events::get array above?

global $wpdb;
	$mydates = $wpdb->get_col("SELECT MAX(event_end_date) FROM wp_em_events LIMIT 1");

foreach ( $mydates as $mydate ) {
	$mydatex = explode("-", $mydate);
    $mydayex = $mydatex[1];
    $myyearex = $mydatex[0];
    $mymonthex = $mydatex[2];
    $myenddate = $mydayex.'/'.$mymonthex.'/'.$myyearex.'/';

}

Then, in the jquery I defined ‘$myenddate’ as the variable ‘end’

<script>
function em_setup_datepicker(wrap){
	wrap = jQuery(wrap);
	//default picker vals
	if(wrap.find('.em-date-range-search')){
	var end = new Date("<?php echo $myenddate; ?>");
	var datepicker_vals = { altFormat: "yy-mm-dd", changeMonth: true, changeYear: true, firstDay : EM.firstDay, yearRange:'-100:+10', minDate: '-1mm', maxDate: end };}
	else{...

This is all within my theme in Plugins > events-manager > templates > search > scope.php

Thank you, agelonwl.
I need this result to be searchable within the events list. As far as I know short codes are not, correct?
I’m thinking I’d need to modify the $format in some way. That’s why I asked about php.

Maybe something like altering em_event.php if (empty (... ?
