[EventCalendar] Re: EventCalendar Digest, Vol 13, Issue 42

[Joern Kretzschmar]

Sorry but this loop does not work for me.
i edited it a lot but 
"$start=mysql2date($date_format,$post->ec3_schedule->start)" and "$end  
=mysql2date($date_format,$post->ec3_schedule->end);" gives no value.
the result is a list without starting and end-dates.
