The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

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!

As always, the RSJoomla team comes shining through.

After trying several Event components, I've settled on this one mostly due to its great features, but also mainly for their fantastic support.

Support is always very quick and they always go the extra mile to help you out.

Worth every penny. And then some.

I must say these guys rock! They are awsome and really help me a lot. You won'T regret doing business with them! By the way the component is excellent and they work hard to make it even better. They frequently come up with new releases serving their customers. A big thumbs up for the RSJoomla team!

I looked at all the calendars and RSEvents seemed to be the best for what I needed. I have severeal issues trying to get it looking just right with my template.
However, all I had to do was submit a ticket with their support and the question was answered within 1 day. If the problem was within the RSEvents, they would respin the code and post on their website for download. If the problem was uniquie to what I wanted to change, they told me how to change either the php files or style sheets.
Their tech support is very knowledgable. They know their product inside and out.
I highly recommend.

I wanted a Calender Module for our new site. I tried some the non-commercial versions but this module gave us everything we required.
Took a bit to get the head around the many functions and features it offered.
Worth the payment
Thank You to the developers

By far the best calendaring and events module I have used - there was a slight bug with modules setting the time to UTC (Joomla 1.6 bug) but a quick call to support had the problem solved within a couple of hours in a very friendly, courteous and businesslike manner.

The component itself is superb to work with, very customisable and handles recurring event without any problems whatsoever.

1A Component - easy to use and nice layout.
I had some troubles with the Upcoming Event module with Joomla 1.6 and the support solved it within one day. Superb service.

I have worked with many calendars and I have to say this is my favorite to date. (:D) It's extremely flexible, with many views and ways to customize views. Styling was a breeze- important to a designer!

To make an event recurring the system creates multiple instances of the event- rather than simply repeating itself- which then can be selectively deleted which is great if you have performances that run Mon-Sat for three weeks.

Lastly, a rave to the developers who were enormously prompt and helpful when I wanted to customize a couple of things.

Works like a charm!
Had a problem with installing the language, but the support was fast, good and solved the issue.
Wish all support was like this.

The latest upgrade on this product has added some really nice features. It is much easier to select the fields you want to display and a much better template designs.
