Using template files to override formats

    I’m experimenting with using template files (e.g. /wp-content/themes/mytheme/plugins/events-manager/formats/event_list_item_format.php) to customize various views instead of customizing formats via the admin interface.

    I see that I can use the same syntax, including placeholders, as I do in the admin interface. I assume it’s possible to extend that with PHP directives as well?

    Are there any examples of directly outputting some common data through PHP? I would be particularly interested in being able to say, “if locationname = ‘foo’ { bar; }”

    maybe you can try something like

    global $EM_Event;

if ( $EM_Event->get_location()->location_name ){

}

    Thanks for the suggestion. I’m behind the curve on OOP so maybe I’m just missing something because of that, but here’s what I tried to test things out. I put this at the top of single_event_format.php:

    <?php
    global $EM_Event;
    echo ($EM_Event->get_location()->location_name);
?>

    I got “Fatal error: Call to a member function get_location() on null”

    Try:

    echo $EM_Event->get_location()->location_name;

    Thanks, but I get the same error.

    Which version of Events Manager are you using?

    did you already paste this snippet in your theme functions.php ?

    <?php
function my_em_custom_formats( $array ){
	$my_formats = array('dbem_event_list_item_format'); //the format you want to override, corresponding to file above.
	return $array + $my_formats; //return the default array and your formats.
}
add_filter('em_formats_filter', 'my_em_custom_formats', 1, 1);
?>
