I am currently using the default ssi2.html template to call the entries into my other web pages.
I am not worried about the times of these event at the moment.
The dates are now showing up like this:
Sunday, September 4
First Baptist
Boulogne, FL

Sunday, September 5
First Baptist
Boulogne, FL

Sunday, September 6
First Baptist
Boulogne, FL
Each day is showing up

I want the dates that are entered which span several days to show up like this"
September 4-6
First Baptist
Boulogne, FL
or:
September 4 thru 6
First Baptist
Boulogne, FL

Here is my currently ssi2.html
<!--#include file="preferences.pl"-->
<%
&getEvents( {'duration'=>$in{duration}} );
$DAY = $Grid->{'grid'}->

• ->
• ;
  $EVENTS = $DAY->{events};
  $total_events=0;
  %>
  <DL>
  <%FOREACH EVENTLIST%>
     <%IF EVENTS EXIST%>
     <%$total_events++;%>
     <DT><b><small><%=$DAY->{dayname}%>, <%=$DAY->{monthname}%> <%=$DAY->{dd}%></small></b>
     <br><cite>
        <%FOREACH EVENT%>
           <% if ($_SHOW_GRID_EVENT_BULLET) {%>•<%}%>
           <% if ($_SHOW_EVENT_TIMES eq "ALL" | | $_SHOW_EVENT_TIMES eq "START") { %>
           <% if ($EVENT->{'schedule'}->{'start_time'}) { %><%= SCHEDULE FIELD(start_time) %><% } %>
           <% } %>
           <% if ($_SHOW_EVENT_TIMES eq "ALL") { %>
           <% if ($EVENT->{'schedule'}->{'end_time'}) { %>-<%= SCHEDULE FIELD(end_time) %><% } %>
           <% } %>
           <% if (($_SHOW_EVENT_TIMES eq "ALL" | | $_SHOW_EVENT_TIMES eq "START") && ($EVENT->{'schedule'}->{'start_time'})) { %>   <% } %>
           <%= $EVENT->{'details'}->{'title'} %><BR>
                   <%= $EVENT->{'details'}->{'location'} %><BR> </cite>
        <%/FOREACH%> <hr color="blue" width="50%" size="2">

**  am currently using the default ssi2.html **

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.

Ok so I guess I did modify the ssi.html template. I forgot about it, it has been awhile since I have messed with this.

What I have now is this
<!--#include file="preferences.pl"-->
<%
&getEvents( {'duration'=>$in{duration}} );
$DAY = $Grid->{'grid'}->

• ->
• ;
  $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
  First Baptist
  Boulogne, FL

  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?
