Extensive iCal Support – iCal is the standard format for transferring calendar events between applications, and Zap Calendar was written to fully support this standard. Zap Calendar provides import, export and synchronization of calendar events from external sources. Downloading or subscribing of events to calendar programs such as Outlook, Thunderbird and Google Calendar is supported. iCal repeating events are supported. Using Zap Calendar’s iCal subscribe plugin, you can create an aggregate iCal feed by combining both external and local events and publish them as an iCal URL for downloading or subscribing.
Plugin Support – Zap Calendar can be extended using Zap Calendar plugins. These plugins provide additional functionality to the calendar, including plugins for searching, weather, mapping, and social networking features.
Third Party Application Support – Zap Calendar provides support for several popular Joomla extensions, including Community Builder, JomSocial, JomComment , sh404SEF and Z Weather. Zap Calendar also includes a Google Maps plugin, allowing you to show the location of your events on a map.

AJAX support is extended to Zap Calender modules, allowing independent browsing of calendars when multiple calendars are present on a page. AJAX support can also be found in the Comment, RSVP and Google Maps plugins.

This is hands down the best calendar component and module combination for Joomla. I have tried them all, hacked them all and in the end came back to this one because it is simply the best. The code is well written. The support is quick and superb. The developer really cares about his products and even made the effort to add a feature that I was looking for to the latest version.
The additional features like the google maps integration and jom social integration make this extension a must have for any site requiring a calendar.
The feature that was most important to me was to have a small calendar module that I can set to open on a specific date in the future WITH the events highlighted on it. No other module could provide this except for Zap Calendar. The rest is icing on the cake.
THANK YOU!!

Get it. It works. Easy to navigate and admin. iCal feature is what sold me. Pro version: I'm giving this 5 because it does everything it promises and the developer is very open-minded about enhancements, not to mention prompt and clear in his support responses. I think a more developed user manual would help, that is, more step-by-step instructions and clearer demos. What's there is very helpful, however. My wish list includes being able to add members to events from user profiles (e.g., integrated with Jomsocial) and have group notified, with iCal attachments. The developer takes you seriously — another plus. It's a real, grown-up extension.

I have enjoyed using and configuring Zap Calendar and would agree that this is one to watch for the future. It's easy to set up and any problems are quickly resolved either in the forum or directly. Keep up the great work!!

Excellent Application!
The ZapCalendar Pro was just the solution we needed to provide our visitors with categorized events in either a 2D calendar view, or straightforward listing format. We were really surprised and pleased with the extra features as well (e.g. geocoded maps, subscription/download capability and the direct tie-in with Joomla native search engine.
Nice features, great price!

I can not say anything bad about this app. Fast service on problems in the forums. I suggested a plugin for jomcomment and in the next release there it was awesome. this calendar is destined to be the number one choice in joomla.

We also purchased the PRO version and could not be happier. Very extensible and their support is very fast and friendly.
Two features that I need to mention are the ability to link your events to articles (instead of just an event view --- BIG IMPROVEMENT from other calendar managers) and the ability to download or subscribe to the calendar. This gives your users better usability for your site.
An all around great product. I can't wait for more updates!

We purchased the Pro version and we are delighted with it. The toggle feature is an excellent feature and we found it very easy to use the css file to produce the color and theme for our site.
We contacted the company for some support and the developer responded immediately.Not only that , they went on to develop a free plugin after they studied our request.
This calendar had great potential.Its definitely going to be very popular in the future!
