# Event Offset?

 * I am using Bootstrap in a WordPress build and I would like to have three columns,
   each showing 1 event and details to be offset for future events:
 * After browsing 60+ pages of this support forum, I can not find anything on offsetting
   events, although, some Google results state that there is an offset command built
   into the code.
 * That being said, I’m looking for the shortcode parameter to use for offsetting
   events by next upcoming event — after current upcoming event — in the future.
 * My example:
    `<div class=”col-md-4″> <?php echo do_shortcode( ‘[eme_events limit
   =1 order=DESC]’); ?> </div> <div class=”col-md-4″> <?php echo do_shortcode( ‘[
   eme_events limit=1 order=DESC]’); ?> </div> <div class=”col-md-4″> <?php echo
   do_shortcode( ‘[eme_events limit=1 order=DESC]’); ?> </div>`
 * Is there an offset command that can be used in the shortcode or via the API offered
   by the plugin?
 * Thanks

 * Why don’t you configure the eme_events shortcode (using templates for events 
   header/footer and list entry) to return your 3 columns? That way you don’t need
   to bother with offset.

 * Well, quite frankly (pun intended) a offset is pretty standard in WP and PHP 
   in general. I mean “Offset=”-1″ — not a lot of code there.
 * I looked at your documentation on templates, I’ll revisit when I get back to 
   work on the project.
 * Surprised even your API does not offer the offset feature. I’ll keep you informed
   of the results of the templates. Personally, I believe an offset would be much
   easier. That’s just like, my opinion man…

 * An offset is already used (for paging), and can be overridden on the url, but
   that wouldn’t help you (you want to have 3 different offsets).
    EME can create
   your layout in 2 minutes: – create a empty header and footer template – create
   a “list” template with as content one of the div’s mentioned above Then use limit
   =3 in [eme_events] and you’re done …

 * Franky,
    Mark as resolved. Using the templates took longer than 2 minutes, but
   in the end it worked. Not quite sure what the blank header and footer are doing
   but using your method above did — in fact — work as I was looking for.
 * Thanks for answering my questions and providing me with a path forward.
 * End Result:
    ⌊End Result EME separation⌉
 * Thanks again Franky.

 * If you don’t tell explicitly that you want an empty header/footer, the default
   will be taken (from your general EME settings), and those are most of the times
   ol or li-tags (and that would threw away your layout).
