Okay this works for me and should fix anyone's problem whether it is ranged events or single day events or the 1 day early problem.


ob_start();


// %d
$show_count = 5;

$query = sprintf("SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."event WHERE visible = 1 AND (dateline_from > '%d' || ( dateline_from > '%d' AND dateline_to < '%d' )) ORDER BY dateline_from ASC LIMIT %d",TIMENOW,TIMENOW,TIMENOW,$show_count);

$event_get = vB::$db->query_read($query);

$output_bits = '';
while($event = vB::$db->fetch_array($event_get)) {

$tz_offset = 86400;
if($event['dateline_to'] == 0 )
{
$format = sprintf("On %s",date('M jS Y',($event['dateline_from']+$tz_offset)));
} else {
$format = sprintf("From %s to %s",date('h:i A M jS Y',($event['dateline_from'])),date('h:i A M jS Y',($event['dateline_to'])));
}

$output_bits .= sprintf('
<div class = "cms_widget_post_bit"><h4 class="cms_widget_post_header"><a href="calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=%d">%s</a></h4>
<p class="cms_widget_post_content">%s</p>
</div>
',$event['eventid'],$event['title'],$format);

}
$output = $output_bits;

ob_end_clean();

It is set to cut off at 5 events, you can adjust that via $show_count = 5.

It has a timezone offset of 1 day via seconds for the 1 day early issue here $tz_offset = 86400

Its format for date is set to Time, Date, Month, and Year via here $format = sprintf("From %s to %s",date('h:i A M jS Y',($event['dateline_from']+$tz_offset)),date('h:i A M jS Y',($event['dateline_to'])));.

And here for the all day events that do not include time of day ; $format = sprintf("On %s",date('M jS Y',($event['dateline_from']+$tz_offset)));
} else {


I am still debating on dropping the Year form the widget since 99% of the time the next 5 events are in the same year anyway. To do that simply drop the Y from the M jS Y or h:i A M jS Y
