How to change event_list attributes with an anchor

did you also try to check the EM templates for events list?

did you also try to check the EM templates for events list?

I’m using custom templates, yes, but I don’t quite understand what you’re trying to tell me…

I tried the following:

if ( empty($_GET['scope'])) {
		if ( empty($_GET['lang'])) {
			echo '<a href="?scope=past">Vergangene Veranstaltungen</a>';
		} else {
			echo '<a href="?lang=en&scope=past">past events</a>';
		}
	}

ensuring compatibility with qtranslate,
and in the events list template:

if( !empty($_GET['scope']) ) {
$args['scope'] = $_GET['scope'];
}

which works! (yay), but only if you put that code *before* the

$events = EM_Events::get( apply_filters('em_content_events_args', $args) );

which is curious, since other variables, such as limit and page get altered *after* $events is populated:

$args['scope'] = $_GET['scope'];
$events = EM_Events::get( apply_filters('em_content_events_args', $args) );
$args['limit'] = get_option('dbem_events_default_limit'); //since we are passing this info to an output function or template, we should get all the events first
$args['page'] = (!empty($_REQUEST['page']) && is_numeric($_REQUEST['page']) )? $_REQUEST['page'] : 1;

you could also use a filter like em_events_get or another hook to change the scope before the search occurs, then you just need a get variable (or extra endpoint if you know what you’re doing and want to be fancy). the tutorials probably can explain both
