 This project brings the well known and loved Events Calendar to Joomla. JEvents consists of a Joomfish compatible Joomla component and a number of modules and mambots.
Component
* One-off Events and complex repeating patterns of events can be created and viewed in an attractive calendar and a variety of list formats.
* Events can be categorised and calendar views can be customised to show all or some of these categories
Modules
* Mini-calendar module (events_cal) which gives a quick overview of events which can be placed on any page
* Latest events modue (events_latest) which gives a highly configurable summary of upcoming events
* Events legend (events_legend) - displayed alongside the component gives you a summary of event categories and an easy way to limit the events shown to specific categories
Mambots/Plugin
* A search mambot/plugin that enables the global Joomla search to return results from the events calendar
* Post event report feedback that allows event reports or photo gallery links to be shown in the event detail after a set date
We are very excited to announce that JEvents 1.4.2 has now been released. Read the description of this release carefully to ensure that your existing data is preserved when you upgrade.
At the project site you can also download JEvents 1.4.3 Release Candidate which should be compatible with Joomla 1.5.1 (with legacy mode plugin enabled). Let us know how you get on.
JEvents 1.5 Alpha is now available for testing - this is a Joomla 1.5 native component that takes JEvents to the next level. Ical imports and exports, exception handling in event repetitions and alternative layouts.

| Big improvement by maranate, September 28, 2006 |
|
This is a big improvement over 1.2 (eek, didn't even realize 1.3 was out before seeing this version). One thing I would like to see is that the Author be handled the same way that Joomla Content is handled. I don't want to see the username, and I don't want it to be linked to the mailto: email address of the user, (at the very least, give us the option). Would also like to have email cloaking in the Contact field. Saving the venue, and linking the venue to a map would be icing on the cake! |
| Pretty Good Calendar by mbistro, September 15, 2006 |
|
This calendar is really coming along. There are some features I didn't notice, and pardon me if I overlooked any of the following, but I would like to see:
- Option to turn off WYSIWYG and have a plain text version.
- Ability to save venues for future selection.
- A specific entry for venue websites under extra.
- Option to turn off images.
- Ability to end an event at Midnight, without carrying the event over to the next day. An override that plugs in the word 'Midnight' perhaps?
- An available list view of the events from the current day forward. With the option of hiding events that repeat.
- Ability to copy an existing event, and then edit it as a completely separate event. A real time saver.
- An option to flag an event as featured, so that featured events get preferential listing under latest events.
- Thanks |

An awesome contribution to the community!
good calendars are hard to find - this one is great
Great work with the search bot - makes it easier 4 sure.
1 gripe - doesn't work well with standard SEF enabled - Nor with open-SEF - redirects crash. Unable to run both Events and SEF + be able to edit from the front end successfully.
I will be looking out for your updates - Keep up the grand work! Owner's reply: There are no known problems with the Joomla builtin SEF - try out the demo site.
If you are having other problems please report them using the tracker (link above) and we'll see if we can help.. |

Theres a new version comming soon? |
| Excellent with a few annoyances by kittymcooper, August 10, 2006 |
|
A really fine event calendar but I really prefer my dates to be right aligned in the little calendar display (so that the 7 lines up with the 4 in 14, not the 1) - to do this I added "text-align: right;" to many of the styles in modules/mod_events_cal.css - here is my version:
http://www.openskywebdesign.com/joomla/modules/mod_events_cal.css
Also my client was annoyed that the events in the admin area were not sorted by date, so I fixed that as well.
But generally this is a high quality product. Nice displays. Esay to use.

| Best for few good calenders by oleg, July 25, 2006 |
|
Calenders are hard to find for Joomla - good ones espacially. This is my favorite, but it has many limitations. To mee, its mostly lacking ways of displaying events. I can chose a monthly view - but not choose to see items from one category in that monthly view. Actually all views are boring lists, except the monthly one - that shows all items, disregarding categories. And thats just one example.
But still. I haven't found any better component, so I live with the limts.

| Just perfect by Lethann, July 21, 2006 |

I'm helping build a mmo WoW guild website and this calendar was the best that suited our needs. Aside from the afore mentioned problems of the backend resetting the dates, I'd like to see a feature of 'no end date' for continuous reoccurring events. As is, the only way to do so is to simply skip forwards a handful of years.
One other thing I'd like to see is the ability to make the frontpage calendar module have it's own ministylesheet. I'm using the NightMoves template by PixelBunniP and the background for the modules is by default transparent, resulting in an unreadable calendar module. Looking at the Events Style, I see no option to edit this, and doing a flat "all modules have this background" looks odd.
All in all, I highly suggest this module to anyone looking for a simple and easy to use calendar for their group. |
| Clarify: Usability issues, not bugs by sethp, July 19, 2006 |
|
I want to correct and clarify my previous review. The "bugs" I mentioned actually have workarounds, so they are really usability issues. Once I learned the specific way (not very intuitive) to correctly make repeating events, they worked like a charm. (The end date has to be set properly, or else they won't work.)
I love the easy style sheet editing too.
This is my new calendar of choice!! |
| Nice, almost there, but has bugs by sethp, July 19, 2006 |
|
This one is almost there. I find it very easy to use. The calendar is nice, as are the modules. It could use a better default look and feel (feels dated).
But, two bugs keep me from choosing it right now for production:
1. Repeated events don't display on calendar, only the first instance.
2. In the backend, when editing an event, all events revert to "daily" repeating, with no other option selectable, so you have to use front end to edit events.
Fix these bugs and I'm on this calendar!! |
| This is one to keep an eye on! by Sage, July 14, 2006 |
|
I'm very impressed with the way this component has worked for something that is still in beta. The only problems I've found so far relate to setting events to "yearly". They don't seem to carry over after being completed. I'm using it to set up dates like anniversaries and birthdays on my family website and recurring dates will be common. I'm sure it's an easy fix, I just haven't figured it out yet.
I also notice that when opening an event in the backend, the dates get switched to "daily" and the option to select anything but "daily" is greyed out. |
| Simply the best thus far by MetalHellsAngel, July 13, 2006 |

I have been looking and looking for a a calendar that does what this one does. It install's smoothly, and run's beautifuly. Thanks so much for this product and keep up the great work! Do yourself a favor and download this today! |
| Issues with OpenSEF by amurthy2000, June 2, 2006 |
|
The 'Selection by' options do not work in a Joomla site configured to run with 'OpenSEF' URLs.
When I change the option to 'Select by Month' or to 'Select by day' or any other item in all the selection boxes, the home page displays. If I disable 'Open SEF' URLs, then it works fine. |
| It worth a try! by THE_AI, May 31, 2006 |
|
It really worth a try! Installation was a breeze, it seems working nicely with out making problems on the datebase. Just try it and you will love it! |
| Upgrade from 1.2 to 1.3 by killerfrog, May 6, 2006 |

Hi,
This new version seems nice. Except that I don't know how to upgrade my version 1.2 to this one. This is needed to install Joomfish 1.7 after...
Found no doc about my particular case |
