i have used this extension for years and prefer it over other ones such as JEvents because of it's flexibility, ability to take registrations, provide detailed info and much more. However, since it is not available to use in 2.5 i am forced to have to move to another component which saddens me.
This extension is simply not as good as many others, including JEvents. I find it very difficult to use, and it has problems in Joomla 2.5. I am honestly surprised to see so many positive reviews as there are several components that offer superior capabilities without the level of care & feeding EventList seems to require.
I would strongly avoid users avoid this extension in favor of others.

I used this component when it was new and being supported. Unfortunately it doesn't work with 2.5. I have been looking for a 2.5. app that does the same thing in the same way this one does. I highly recommend it if you have an older site you want to use it with or can tweak it for 2.5.
It appears as if the project is dead. It would be fantastic if another developer familiar with 2.5 built on his work and brought it up to date for use with 2.5. It loads in 2.5 but nothing seems to work with it right now. Just a bunch of error messages.

This extension listing should be updated to indicate Joomla 1.7 compatibility. I just installed version 1.0.2 from the authors' website and it works fine on Joomla 1.7.
This extension has lots of functionality including a simple event registration function. The included help is very useful to get started too.

This is a great component with pretty descent flexibility. However, I see last update was 2009 hope to see it stay around. I continue to use it for 1.5, but it needs to be updated to 1.7
If updated please allow to change image upload paths easily and venue image should not have to be in stories directory. Over all very good component. Thanks for it.

This extension considering it is free is great, with a lot of extensions and customizability. Everything worked for me! :)
I have been using this for several months now. I like to leave my reviews for a while to make sure that no unexpected things happen to my site! Anyway, this has not let me down, and once I understood all aspects, it has been very easy to use.
I do not use the registration component at all, so I cannot comment on that. But for listing events, supported by the Qivva ajax calendar, this is worth investigating. Be prepared to spend a little time understanding how the extensive set of elements fit together before giving up on it!

I found Eventlist easy to get on with from the start, simple to set up venues and events. I've tweaked mine quite a bit and added a few extra frills to make it even more useful, but out of the box it's a nice package with some useful extensions. Rokminievents even links directly to it for an events timeline.
Was really looking forward to using this application.
However afterinsalling there latest build on a ja-purity site i had no end of problems.
Events dont save in the front end or back end
Veneus dont save in the front end or back end
Reading through their forums this problem has been about since april - its now july.
Extension should either be rolled back or taken down from JED untill it is fixed.
I hope and look forward to them getting the problem sorted soon.

I just registered to add this quick review.
Best non-commercial event component!
Easy to use and includes all the features I needed (categories, front end venue adding, etc.), just as you'd expect it.
Real quick support at "JLV Solutions" (Google it!)
@W-bizz, @AlSc, @all: Download for J1.6: google for "eventlist joomla 1.6 download" and hit the joomlaos link (german) (unfortunately still beta because of some Joomla security issues!)
I'd really like to add some links, but: not allowed. :(
Love it!

Have always installed and used this excellent app. It works as it should and is easy to use. I am waiting for an upgrade for Joomla 1.6 native, as I do not use the "legacy" plugin. Am concerned most posts and news on their site is almost a year old. Are they still in development? Will there be a version for 1.6? Certainly hope so, as this FREE Open-Source extension is superior to all the Commercial ones offered.
