The solution was simple. Thank you!

This "lite" version is what I applied, with slight modifications to reduce the text size, eliminate the images/missing image errors, and eliminate the misbehaving single date field.

I have only had my VB forum license for a week, but have learned so much from these forums that has helped me customize and configure it.

Thanks to all

PHP Code:

ob_start(); 

//  %d 
$show_count = 4; 

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

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

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

    if($event['dateline_to'] == 0 ) 
     { 
         $format = sprintf(" "); 
//         $format = sprintf("On %s",date('jS M Y',$event['dateline_from']));   <-- broken/disabled
     } else { 
         $format = sprintf("From %s to %s",date('jS M Y',$event['dateline_from']),date('jS M Y',$event['dateline_to'])); 
     } 
      
     $output_bits .= sprintf(' 
      <div class = "cms_widget_post_bit"><center><a href="calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=%d"><h4 class="cms_widget_post_header"><font size="2">%s</font></a></h4> 
            <p class="cms_widget_post_content"><font size="1">%s </font></p><p><font size="1">&nbsp;</font></p></center> 
        </div> 
        ',$event['eventid'],$event['title'],$format); 

} 
$output = $output_bits; 

ob_end_clean(); 
return $output;
