There is no "ssi2.html" template supplied with CalendarScript. Maybe it's one you made or renamed from some other??

** I want the dates that are entered which span several days to show up like this: September 4-6 **

That is a pretty complex problem, I'm afraid i don't know how you'd modify an existing template to accomplish it.

You can try using the "Chronological List" template described at the Unofficial CalendarScript - Mods and Plugins site which has a similar display although it is not supported by the author so don't expect too much help with it if you can't get it running.

What I have now is this
<!--#include file="preferences.pl"-->
<%
&getEvents( {'duration'=>$in{duration}} );
$DAY = $Grid->{'grid'}->[0]->[0];
$EVENTS = $DAY->{events};
$total_events=0;
%>
<DL>
<%FOREACH EVENTLIST%>
<%IF EVENTS EXIST%>
<%$total_events++;%>
<DT>
<br><cite>
<%FOREACH EVENT%>
<small><% if ($EVENT->{'schedule'}->{'start'}) { print &SimpleDateFormat::formatDate($EVENT->{'schedule'}->{'start'}, $Config->get(date_format)) } %>
<% if ($EVENT->{'schedule'}->{'end'} ne $EVENT->{'schedule'}->{'start'}) { print " - ", &SimpleDateFormat::formatDate($EVENT->{'schedule'}->{'end'}, $Config->get(date_format)) } %></small><br>

<% if ($_SHOW_EVENT_TIMES eq "ALL" | | $_SHOW_EVENT_TIMES eq "START") { %>
<% if ($EVENT->{'schedule'}->{'start_time'}) { %><%= SCHEDULE FIELD(start_time) %><% } %>
<% } %>
<%= $EVENT->{'details'}->{'title'} %><BR>
<%= $EVENT->{'details'}->{'location'} %>
<BR> </cite>
<%/FOREACH%> <hr color="blue" width="50%" size="2">
<%/IF%>
<%/FOREACH%>
</DL>
<%unless($total_events){%>
<CENTER><I><%= $_NO_EVENTS_LABEL %></I></CENTER>
<% } %>
<A HREF="<%=$AdminConfig->get("calendar_url")%>?calendar=default" target="_blank"><font color="#990000">View
Calendar</font></A>

It now shows up like this

09/04/2005 - 09/07/2005
First Baptist
Boulogne, FL

----

09/04/2005 - 09/07/2005

09/04/2005 - 09/07/2005

09/04/2005 - 09/07/2005
First Baptist

----

09/11/2005 - 09/14/2005
Clingan Ridge Baptist
Cleveland, TN

But it still is listing (repeating)the event for each day.
I only need one listing for the events that span a few days.

Somehow you're going to have to keep track of which events are printed and then negate printing them again on the later dates. Maybe put the printed event's IDs into a hash and check that hash each time before printing?

BTW. How does your template work with recurring events rather than date-span events?
