This component was exactly what I was looking for because it integrates with Community Builder so well. It works for me, but needs some small editions.

Even though you can make default fields in the Configuration, I couldn't get them to work within the sessions

The frontend output needs to be a little more customizable

If you use the firstname/lastname fields from community builder, you cannot remove the default Full Name input from a registration, so you have to put in your name twice.. that's rather strange I thought.

But overall, this is a very solid component, I would def. recommmend it.

First off I like the component and I am currently using it. But I think it needs to have the option to copy "sessions" in the backend so I do not have to keep recreating the same session. Also it would be nice if the sessions could have multiple times throughout the day instead of just one time frame. In the manual it states the component that it integrates with is "Events" it is really "JEvents." Other than that not a bad component

I am surprised by the some of the negative comments. This is after all a open license product and the developer is doing the work without any payment. I found this product to be excellent in terms of doing what the features said it would do. Some of the features I was looking for, including a much tighter integration with Jevents, has been accomplished in the 0.9 version that I am using. Installation was very simple and the extensive documentation is great. I had a minor error along with some customization that I wanted to do. I posted the same on their forum, and recieved a very prompt response. I was able to fix the error and customize my template based on the proposed solution very easily.

I would recommend other folks posting here that have errors etc to really use the forums. Between the developer and other users, you can generally find your solutions quickly.

Wish some of the commercial products offered here would have the excellent support and feedback as I got from this developer. All in all, a excellent product. Will wotk great on its own, but with Jevents, really takes the entire event management to a very professional level. My end users have been very happy.

An excellent extension allowing a straight forward and easy to implement event registration tool.

I prefer it without JEvents, and am grateful it works standalone, as I prefer gigCalendar. Perhaps there could be integration with this or other calendar systems in future?

To answer two points put earlier, by jackbremer and DanielDPU, I've had the 2 requirements they mention and resolved them as follows:

1. UK Google Maps
To do this edit attend_events.php, search for google and change maps.google.com with maps.google.co.uk

2. Open Google Maps in new page
To do this edit attend_events.php search for google. At the end of this line of code insert TARGET='_blank' just before >maps

Thanks to Peter for a great component.

I tested this component on my site yesterday, I regret that why I meet this one so late. It was designed by someone with great ideas. The internal relation between settings was designed so scientific that I can't believe it is released as a free soft !

Of course some minor bugs exists, such as not work well with Chinese languages. When I try to add a customised field with title and description and options in Chinese, it returned that they all became unreadable symbols. I think it may not support utf-8 encoding.

However, I still love this one. Please keep going, it will be the best one.

Interesting bit of work. Thank You Peter!

I am using 0.8 version and the integration with the Community Builder and Events components is exactly as advertised. You just have to do things in the proper sequence, and it all works perfectly.

I think it would be good for the use to have easy access to the list of events for which they are registered, and I'm a bit surprised it doesn't seem to be here. I'm hoping I just missed something in the documentation. Ideally, I would love to be able to see this as a new tab in user's Community Builder Profile. But even as a standalone listing, it would be valuable.

Thanks again for a very useful product.

I have tested the current version and 0.9.0 build 15 ALPHA and am impressed and optimistic about this development.

You can tell that Peter is precise, organised and a clear communicator. There's even documentation in progress for the ALPHA version.

I need the features of the new (alpha) version, so have looked mainly at that. There are of course bugs.

I like the logical way things are organised in configuring sessions.

My wish list in order of decreasing importance for future versions includes:

Ability for session organisers to add sessions through the front end.

Allow different types of attendees with limits per type - eg In an online class, 3 talkers (pay)& 15 listeners (free).

Ability to see/use your local time (Useful for online events, where location and hence time, is not constant.)


Another idea: Option to send an email to attendees, with field substitution. Useful for sending a link to a parameterized feedback form AFTER event finishes, so that feedback can be monitored or published. Or could link to rating system on website.



I'm not sure of how this relates to / overlaps with a component like AKReservations. Perhaps this is because I have not tested it using JEvent and/or JCron.

I'll have a look at the new build (16).

Keep up the great work.

Attend Events can be integrated with Community Builder, and will draw information from CB fields if you set it up right. This is fantastic as far as my end users are concerned.

However, the field configuration on the backend is a little cumbersome sometimes, and I was surprised to find that if you add a standard field, it is not added to existing events. (I had to go back and add these universal fields manually.)

The integration with Google Maps is interesting, but I wish I could have the component generate the link in a new browser window ("_blank"). Likewise, the venue link should have this option.

It would be nice if there was more flexibility in how the event's description/registration page was configured. The authors might take as an example the way Community Builder allows you to customize user profiles.

I wish that I could change the appearance of the list of events on the front end. It would be nice if I could specify I want events ordered by date, by registration deadline, by alphabet, by... category? (Oohh.. there's an idea.)

Also, the system calls each event a "session." This sounds to me like there are several repeating instances of the same event. ("Would you like the afternoon session or the morning session?") Please allow us to change "session" to "event" or something else. A simple variable will suffice.

Finally, the documentation says that it will also interface with a component called "Events." But it doesn't tell me where or how to find this component. "Events" is a calendar component... and if that would save me time from having to enter duplicate events, that'd be fantastic. The documentation should include links to both Community Builder and Events. (What good is integration if you can't find the components to integrate with?)

I think it is a very good starting point for a future component for managing small events and booking at these, but there are more that 250 million americans in the world. Using Google maps is to limited!

It would as well be nice if the module showed the dates and the number of free spaces at events.

Keepup the good work

the google maps link is USA .com by default so you have to play around to get it going to UK or other sites (perhaps putting just the post code will work, or "UK" in the postcode as well?

Exports CSV of registrations, and shows them if you want on your joomla site, but I can't find out how to keep some information submitted from showing - you don't want their phone number or other info showing for example, I only wanted Name and Company to show.

Very customisable confirmation and notification emails. WYSIWG standard session details means I can put pictures etc in the description which is great.

As soon as the payment system goes stable (please god let it be PayPal) I think we've got a winner here. In the meantime I'll experiment with manual PayPal carts etc in the items...

Attend Events did what I what.
It is too complicated for me to build application forms by using mosForms and FacileForms etc. Until I found Attend Events, it is well intergrated with Events and Community Builder. My users now can apply for the events in my Dog Club so easy.
Just 1 things I hope Attend Events can add, if there is no events available, a message "Currently no events available" should be displayed instead of nothing.

I think this is very nice component. simple and neat interface and customizable field is very nice. However, if this can provide some report to event host (i.e. attendees list report), that would be very nice.

I have been using this event registration component very successfully for our club. The documentation is skimpy, but the features are definately there, except for a payment system, which is currently under development in the 0.9.0 build (currently at prototype stage, but downloadable).
