The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

Let me start by saying RSEvents will be a great extension for some people, but only if 1) your events have only one admission fee (ticket in RSJoomla speak); or 2) if you have more than one event fee, you have unlimited capacity at your facility. Otherwise, you won't like this extension because overbooking is likely.

For example, our Club hosts several events that are open to both club members and non-members and the fee is higher for non-members. This means we have to set up two different "ticket" prices but setting limits per "ticket" type (member v. non-member) are useless, because we never know how many members and non-members will register. We have to continually monitor the total registrations and hope we just happen to check at the time we reach our facility's capacity. We have already over-sold our capacity at events because of the lack of a combined limit. While we enjoy many features of RSEvents integrating RSForms Pro, the lack of an overall combined "ticket" limit means we have to abandon it and use something else, if RSJoomla doesn't respond to requests to add this mission-critical feature.

Llevo algún tiempo trabajando con este componente y estoy satisfecho tanto con sus posibilidades como por el servicio técnico. Rápidos y eficaces en la respuesta.
I have some time working with this component and I am satisfied with both their possibilities and by the service. Quick and effective response.

There is so much potential available to this extension, but it just doesn't get it done and when you combine that with the outrageously high price they charge, it is just highway robbery.

As others have stated, the template designs are really poor. That being said, they are better then most - because the others are horrendous. That is probably why the RSJoomla team hasn't improved them, which is sad.

No ability to create tags to sort events, they allow multiple categories, but won't let you sort of them once you do. They calendar won't display the color codes correctly if you use multiple categories.

No ability to use smarty code to fix the horrible php coding they use.

No integration with sh404SEF or any other SEF. End up with terrible URL's

The potential here is tantalizing, but at the end of the day, I wouldn't recommend it.

This extension is not that bad but there is no support for cross posting to facebook/twitter. Styles look very poorly designed compared to templates provided from other clubs, making your site look not so nice.

The only module I could find being able to list events in the manner I want, also very easy to use.

I would like to echo several of the reviews here and say that the support for RSEVents is superb.

I submitted a minor bug report at 10pm and received a polite note that the component was fixed and updated in the morning.

The only reason I'm not giving a 5 star review, is that the component is a bit confusing to learn. Its not quite as polished as RSForms, their marquee product.

Part of the reason it is hard to learn is simply that there are too many options... fine grain control over an app, always comes at the expense of simplicity.

Nonetheless, I would strongly recommend this product. The support alone is worth the asking price.

Very good product and service assistance is fast and accurate.
Thank you

RS Joomla extensions are easy to configure and support is fabulous

Easily adding, editing and deleting events from the frontend is what I wanted and this extension certainly delivers. Very easy for your website owner to put up events on their website!
Added to that, an easy to customise template that can carry a lot of info when required.
Haven't tried the event management features, but nice to know they are their when required.
Brilliant support as well. Very prompt and knowledgeable.
All up, very professional and well worth it. Needless to say, recommended!!

After using another events component for many years, I was always on the watch for something better. I have tried out several non-commercial and commercial components.

When I found the latest version of RSEvents, I decided to give it a try and it turns out it is one of the best decisions I could have made. There are far more features than I have need for at present, but it gives me more options and choices to add in the future. It is also very adaptable and flexible.

Best of all has been the great support I have been getting from RSJoomla. By far, the best support with prompt and helpful responses. A couple of times they went above the call in helping me make a couple of customizations I wanted. this alone has been worth the cost.

Overall, I am very happy it RSEvents!

This extension is ok but the not providing any ical format, so it is not possible to connect the calendar with google or iCal.

I highly recommend RSEvents. I've been using it for event registration, and the new PDF ticket feature is ideal; once a payment has been processed, the customer receives a PDF file via email that can be completely customized. I ran into a few small problems, and the support was excellent... My only complaint is that the registration form can't be customized with additional fields without also buying RSForms Pro. However, that doesn't add much to the cost so I still consider RSEvents a "5 star" extension.

Functionality wise I find it hard to fault it. There's a few simple things I think it's missing (such as the ability to link to an external icon, adding a photo gallery to an event without using Flickr, for example), but on the whole it pretty much does what you'd expect.

Where I found it disappointing was in the front end layout. It uses layout-breaking tables for front end submission, with a huge number of poorly organised fields that to a non-technical end user looks very daunting.

Thankfully, it supports template overrides, so I was able to customise both the front end display and front end submission forms to use CSS based layouts and generally look a lot more user-friendly, without core hacks, in no time at all. It makes me wonder why this wasn't included in the first place?

For me this wasn't a huge issue, however without any technical knowledge I would have found the component useless because of these simple layout issues.

On a free component, this would be fine. On one that costs ~£40, I don't think it quite cuts it when there are other components in this price bracket that offer a much better experience on the whole.

Overall, still a good component, but let down by the simple stuff.

I would like to thank RS JOOMLA for making great Modules and Components. Their customer support is Excellent! Thank you Alexandru for you patience and guidance!

I would recommend their products to anyone. They exceeded my expectations in both products and service.

Very simple to set up, customize and user friendly!

Keep them coming!

Hi, i start using RSEvents and other software from RSJoomla. Works very nice and support is quick. They realy do their best to help out.

Thanks Guys.

It´s great. I like so much. I needed change the module and the support time help me in time.

Sorry my english, people.

Good Event and Calendar management with a number of modules for displaying your events in different forms. Integrates with RSForm Pro. A bit tricky to get working and customize to your own templates. Having said that support desk is quick to respond to your queries.
Well worth the money.

I tried several commercial and non-commercial events calendars/managers before settling on RS!Events. I have a complex set of categories - type of event - host of event - location of event.

Setup was quite simple, and any issues I had were easily solved with some research.

Support has been fantastic. I had one problem, I still don't know what I did wrong, but support logged in to my back-end (I created a login just for them), and fixed it.

Then, I had a need to customize a page - that required core changes. Rather than charge me (which they easily could have done) for a small, simple change, they gave me some code, and the page to put it in, and even fixed it when there was a typo. Fast, courteous, friendly - everything I could want from support.

I still have some research to do (on allowing my users to search for things), but this component has been super!

Thanks, RS!Joomla, for a great product!

I spent some time researching calendars for the site before selecting RSEvents. I have not been disappointed.

After using it for 3-4 months, I am extremely pleased with the extension. Not only does it display multiple events nicely, but it has excellent search capabilities allowing users to locate what they need quickly.

Entering new items is a little clumsy, but after a little while it becomes easier.

There have been a couple times where I contacted RSJoomla for support. Every time I received a satisfactory reply quickly (usually in less than 24 hours).

I have not used more advanced features like registration or ticketing but I intend to in the future. It's nice to know that they are they when I need them and I won't have to find a different extension to do what I want.

I highly recommend this product to everyone with moderately complex event needs.

Easy to use, well developed, follows Joomla upgrades (1.5, 1.6, 1.7 compatible), but our reason for giving these props is that we needed to extend RSEvent for a custom development project and we received concise well communicated support to develop/extend the component to our needs.

Thank you guys keep up the great work!
