In researching my new view for events based on selected dates by users I ran across TressleWorks.ca  SGSV module (wonderful btw) and I have a mock up created which displays a list of events from start date to end date.
I have a problem though with the End Date display.

In the SQL Table I see that it stores the EventDateEnd,  BUT the actual calendar displays a sum of EventTimeBegin and Duration.
So I wanted to know what SQL I can use to querry and display the acutual date & time an event ends.  If I querry for just EventDateEnd it is not accurate.

Example:
Events starts on August 8 at 11:00 PM and is 300(minutes?)
EventDateBegin = 8/8/2009 12:00:00 AM
EventDateEnd = 8/8/2009 12:00 AM
If I querry for just EventDateEnd it is not accurate.

Thanks.
If I can get this working I will post my entire SGSV config so that everyone can use it if they want..

I don't know the Events schema very intimately, but assuming that EventDateBegin is a DateTime column, and that Duration is an integer column of minutes, you should be able to use this statement in SQL to get the end date for events:

DATEADD(minute, Duration, EventDateBegin)

 Hope that helps,

That worked - Thank You!

Now I have to figure out how to format the dispaly for embeded HTML in the events description and I am all set.  Any ideas?

I found a function out on the interweb that did html decoding via SQL, you may need to use this. The code for it can be found here - http://www.thedivingclub.co.uk/Information/DNNBlog/tabid/368/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/80/Whats-New-for-the-members.aspx - scroll down the page a bit. The page will show you what I use to feed an RSS feed on my site, and a What's New report, and should give you some ideas.

Cheers
Roger
