This used to be a great FREE component, but now that it's gone to a subscription version it's a real pain, especially the Zend encoded subscription.

1. If you don't have Zend on your site - it doesn't work - which means that any of my sites on IIS - I can't get it to work whereas the previous non-Zend version worked just fine on IIS. It leaves me totally stuck as I now can't upgrade my IIS sites to Joomla 1.0.15.

2. The auto generate the code for your website that you need to insert into your configuration before you can get this to go - just doesn't work for any of my Linux based sites. I have to ASK by email for a code to be generated which gives me a 24 hour turnaround time. Not good enough when you are trying to get things going quickly - and it totally scares me for upgrading from Joomla 1.0.13 to 1.0.15 as potentially my live sites will be down while I get the correct code.

A great little mambot which adds whatever you need into the head section.
I was having great difficulty trying to add style for a module without having to get people to directly add lines to their template index.php. I did start to try and write a mambot to do exactly this, and then I discovered that this was was available.

Thanks - makes it so easy for styling my calendar module

I really love this component. Once you've fixed the couple of bugs (you can find the fixes on the forum), this component is really terrific. I have hacked it so that it's now an Events calendar on my sites(Events, Groups, Venues instead of Gigs, Bands, Venues) but that was relatively easy.
