copy and paste an event

Scheduler Javascript
#21

A better less intensive script:
(untested still - Revision 2 – Editted for more appropriate date updating, suits collision limits greater than 1 now)

    // Haven't researched if this is possible too generate an array of events
    // however I can generate the events in the section if required, using my own code.
    var myEvents = connector.getEvents('select *RequiredFields* FROM *TableName* where sectionId=' + event.section_id + ' order by start_date);

    // a variable to let us know if we have slotted in the event to an available timeslot
    var hasInserted = false;

    // a variable too hold the length of an event in seconds
    var eventLength = dateDiff(event.start_date, event.end_date);

    for(i; i<myEvents.length; i++)
    {
       // Editted, I was thinking only of my use case, start_date will work better with
       // more than 1 set for the collision limit
       var myEventStartDate = new Date(myEvents[i].start_date);
       var eventEndDate = new Date(event.end_date)
       while(myEventStartDate < eventEndDate)
       {
         // Hasn't inserted, so increment date to current events start Date.
         if(hasInserted == false)
         {
            event.start_date = new Date(myEventStartDate);
            event.end_date = new Date(myEventStartDate);
            event.end_date.addSeconds(eventLength);
         }

         // Get a variable to hold the current events in the current section
         var currentEvents = scheduler.getEvents(event.start_date, event.end_date, event.section_id);

         // Set the inserted variable to true as this is a valid position for the variable.
         if(currentEvents.length < COLISSION_LIMIT)
         {
            hasInserted = true;
         }
         else
         {
            var lowestCurrentDate = new Date(myEvents[i].end_date);

            // Loop through the events in the current block and get the lowest end_date for the event to slot after.
            for(j; j<currentEvents.length; i++)
            {
               // Get the current loops event's end date.
               var currentEndDate = new Date(currentEvents[j].end_date);

               // Set the end date the lowest end date, unless it is the currently editted event.
               if(currentEndDate<lowestCurrentDate && currentEvents[j].id != event.id)
               {
                  lowestCurrentDate = new Date(currentEndDate);
               }
            }
            // Increment the start date for the next stage of the outer loop.
            myEventStartDate = new Date(lowestCurrentDate);
         }
       }
    }
   if(hasInserted == false)
   {
        var highestCurrentDate = new Date(myEvents[0].end_date);

        // Loop through the events in the current block and get the latest end date for the event to slot after
        for(k; k<myEvents.length; k++)
        {
           var currentEndDate = new Date(myEvents[k].end_date);
           if(currentEndDate>highestCurrentDate)
           {
              highestCurrentDate = new Date(currentEndDate);
           }
        }
        // Editted to cast variables as a date variable
        event.start_date = new Date(highestCurrentDate);
        event.end_date = new Date(highestCurrentDate);
        event.end_date.addSeconds(eventLength);
   }
    scheduler.setCurrentview(new Date(event.start_date));

It isn’t too much code, and would only need too be called when the event is copied/pasted.
Kind regards
