The bookmark component is not released for Joomla 1.5, but I like it so much that I did try to instlal it anyway :-)

For the msot part it works just ine, but I did get some warning messages in frontend related to the file bookmark.snapshot.php where a non declared attribute was used. This is because an attribute $params has been used in the following way $params->urlkey without being clearly defined.

The solution that worked for me was to in the complete bookmark.snapshot.php file to replace "$params->" with "$". This means that $params->urlkey is changed to $urlkey instead. This makes the php code legal and it also workes. For the rest I have not experienced any problems with the component and I could easily transfer bookmarks stored in the bookmakrs component of Joomla 1.0.X as well.

Just thought I'd let this be known, but of course, I wouldn't mind if someone actually amde a proper 1.5 version of this too :-)

People,

I see a lot of you have had this problem, so in light of helping out I hereby inform you of how you can add events from the frontend.

(in backend by admin):
Create a new menu-item with link to "component" eventcal.
Name it something like "submit event" or so and connect it to the eventcal component.
Save the menu item.
Now, go and edit the menu item.
At this point you'll see that you now have additional specific choices to your menu item on the right. In the "standard view" scroll menu, please choose "add event view".
At this point your menu button will provide you access directly to the "add event" function through your front end.

NOTE: check the right settings you have assigned in the eventcal configuration as well as toe each category defined in eventcal.

As soon as I figured this issue out, then the eventcal extension is just brilliant for those who don't need all the fancy stuff. However, this solution is tricky to figure out yourself, so a user manual or similar would be nice for future references :-)

Cheers

I love the idea behind the module but when I click for downloading it I end up with a site in Russian laguage (or I presume it is Russian). I figured out how to download the module still (as the accept of the license says "no download" or "download" in English. However, I was already suspicious when the downloaded file is tagged with _rus at the end. Installing it confirmed it as the whole module is in Russian making it pretty much useless for me who doesn't know a word Russian. Even the module interface to the module is in Russian. I guess I can do some "translation" myself in code, but in any way it makes the module very inconvenient to me as a non-Russian user.

Therefore the bad rating and a reason for me to add this comment....sorry.
