Hey Tim,
Thanks for using The Events Calendar, I’m happy to help you out with this! 🙂
Sounds like you’re trying to make some pretty cool changes! 🙂 I want to make sure I’m understanding exactly what you’re trying to do, could you possibly send me some screenshots denoting the changes you want to make? (You referenced this, but then didn’t attach anything! 😉 ) This will help me give you better guidance in this matter if I understand the application of your request more directly (plus I’m a visual person).
In the meantime, I think you may find our Themer’s Guide and our Functions List helpful for the types of changes you’re trying to make, though I have a feeling you’ve already checked these out. 🙂 Once I hear back from you, hopefully I can give you more specific resources.
Cheers!
Shelby 🙂
