Event example
You can change the styles used for the event title and the event area by editing the styles in your AcyMailing template.
You can also modify the way your event is displayed by creating your own template which will be used to render the event. Please follow those instructions, we don't recommend you to modify the eventlist plugin directly otherwise your changes will be overwritten when you update AcyMailing.
Create a file in the the folder media / com_acymailing / plugins (if the folder does not exists, please create it first). The name of the file should be tageventlist.php If this file is available on your server, AcyMailing will use it and won't use the default one.
On this file you can access to the element $event (which is the event object loaded from the eventlist_events table).
You can display:
the name of your event: $event->title
the description of your event: $event->datdescription
your event date: $event->dates
Event Venue: $event->venue
Event City: $event->city
Event Country: $event->country
Localisation description: $event->locdescription
the url of your event: $link
Using all those variables, you can create your own product template.
