JEvents 1.5.2 is now available for download - this is a Joomla 1.5 native component that takes JEvents to the next level.
JEvents 1.4.3 is still available for Joomla 1.0.x.
Can you raise a topic in the forums highlighting where you feel w3c standards are not met and we'll seek to address this.
There's no other extension quite as functional - nor one that's as easy to re-style. It's well worth visiting the forums for help and tips ;-)
1) It would be good if there would be tool tip on the calendar module
2) the calendar module should show difeerent colors for defferent event categories. At the moment it defaults to the default color
The calendar module is designed to show if there is an event on a specific day. If there is more than one then it would not be possible to decide which tooltip to show or which category colour to choose.
However, I noticed that there are very limited date format options in the settings. And no one matches our Chinese people's tradition. For example, we want a date format as: %Y 年 %b 月 %d 日。I tried to define such a format in the language file but failed.
Hope the author will add full customization option to date format in next release. Thanks.
Can you raise this point (with a little more detail) in the Jevents 1.5 forum and we'll see what can be done.
Good job folks!
Very Feature rich - much more than I could have hoped for.
Thanks Very much for this
Andy
Thank you!
One improvement, I reckon, would be to allow the option to choose a different editor to the default (don't know if that's possible) because a complex editor can take up a lot of real estate in the popup window and a lot of people won't really need the full editor functionality for events.
Has some issues on design (at least on version made for Joomla 1.0), but easily improvable through CSS.
Also It´s not hard to change the code for specific needs.
Recommended!
Congrats,

Google maps and geocoding is built into an addon that is available for JEvents. You can see this in action in the JEvents demo (see http://www.jevents.net/en/demo/all-events-150/icalrepeat.detail/2009/07/15/36306/-/MGJlZThhODBmMjA4NDY2MWE4NDdlNzI2YzJlN2M1NmY= for an example)
Congrats for the developers great Work.

If you manage to be to allow integration with clients such as thunderbird (ical/caldav) it would make it almos perfect.
Not to thrilled about the templates and the categories, but all in all is great work.
Thanks!
I'm not sure I understand what your problem is about the iCal import functionality. Did you ask about this in the JEvents Forum?
Make sure User login module has been created and working.
create a new module, about user login, and place on every menu.
Then jevents is great. Love it.
The extension was easy to install and use, navigation excellent and overall performance fantastic! Thanks for making it free guys!
