Remove , change list view when using shortcode

You need to do some reading to understand the full power of EME.
Here’s a small rundown of EME:

– when reading the usage page at https://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=8 , it states you need to use shortcodes on regular pages to get anything done from EME. And it says to look further down in the doc for the possible shortcodes.
– So, going to https://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=17 , you get a list of possible shortcodes for events lists, locations, or anything else mentioned there.
– For changing the layout you have all kinds of “format” settings in the EME settings: you have format settings for event lists, location lists, single event, booking list, ical feed, google maps balloons, emails, etc … Inside these format settings, you must use the relevant placeholders to do the formatting. See the doc for placeholders: https://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=23
For single events, these can be overridden in the single event creation/edit window.
For event and location lists, the new template feature can also be used, again read the doc: https://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=51

i have read these documents and i don’t understand why there isn’t just a css style that i can change.

1. the first url you list doesn’t say those words.
2. i DO have the shortcode working, but it doesn’t look the way i want the events list to look
3. i’m not changing the page layout, I’m wanting to change the css of the events list that i pull into my homepage using the shortcode.

Now, let’s go back to the original questions:

1. how do I remove the bullet from the events list that I pulled onto the homepage using the shortcode?

2. how do i change the font/size (text attributes) of that same events listing?

3. how do I an automatically generated header that reads, “Upcoming Events”

Please let me know how to do these specific things.

i really appreciate your skills. this is a very robust plugin.

EME allows you to do everything the way you want it. Like I said:

“For changing the layout you have all kinds of “format” settings in the EME settings: you have format settings for event lists, location lists, single event, booking list, ical feed, google maps balloons, emails, etc … Inside these format settings, you must use the relevant placeholders to do the formatting. See the doc for placeholders”

so: change the format setting to your liking, and then use CSS in your theme to adapt the resulting html code so the layout is how you want it. It’s always like that: first create html, then use CSS. Almost all html generated by EME has html-id tags, so you can change the layout via CSS.
Did you even try changing any of the format settings? In your case you’ll want to play around with “Default event list format header”, “Default event list format” and “Default event list format footer”.

And this is the EME doc concerning css: https://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=30

i guess i’m assuming the html is already there and all i have to do is adjust the CSS (like most other things)

i hear you that i can do a variety of things with this, but, i can’t find out how.

did i even change the format settings? I have no idea how.

yes, before i wrote to you, i went to Settings and looked… i see no way to accomplish what i’m trying to do. (I feel it’s a very simple request.)

the events list that i’m pulling on the home page (if you bothered to look) shows that the CSS for the date entry is governed by the body style sheet.

I’d like for the date to have it’s own style so that I can adjust it without adjusting the body of my entire website.

I’d like to pull that bullet out, but, can’t find what’s making it happen.

when you’re talking about changing the format, it sounds like you’re referring to changing the format of the events page. That’s not what I’m asking.

i don’t see how in the documetation that placeholders control the font, size or anything like that… I have used a placeholder to show the event image in the list.

If you could kindly point me to the exact file where that bullet is created, I could delete it.

If you could kindly point me to the exact file where the date is generated, perhaps I could assign a style and then control it.

I think this is the simplest way.

With format I mean the EME settings in the admin part of wordpress. Format in EME terms means how you decide something shows. In your case:

html bullets appear because it is a list (<ul> in html), so if you don’t want the events to be shown as a list, you need to change the event list header and footer settings. And for the list-elements (the different events in the list), you want to take a look at how a single event appears in the list.
So take a look at the following EME settings:
– Default event list format header (if you don’t want a html-list, put e.g. a <div> in there)
– Default event list format
– Default event list format footer (if you don’t want a html-list, put e.g. a </div> in there)

These make up the html of your event list. I hope that by changing these 3 you’ll see that a whole lot of EME “format” settings exist that define the layout+content when you look at an event or location list, single event or location, calendar, etc …
You need to experiment as well to get a hang of it.
Every EME “format” setting can also contain placeholders (as said above): just basic strings that are being replaced by event (or location or whatever) data. For events you have all possible placeholders listed here: https://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=25 with an explanation what they do (also date placeholders are mentioned there ). So if you want to change the layout of the date, go into the event format settings and change it the way you like it.
