This seems a good extension to me. Great import from ExtCalendar.
Having an event title in the mini-calendar tooltip (instead of saying 1 event etc) would be nice.
Thanks for the extension.

This is a great calendar and very easy to install. We had the ExtCalendar and were able to move hundreds of events over to JCal Pro with the click of a button. All of the categories were also imported, so that made things even easier.
The one feature that I wish the calendar had was a drop down menu in the front end so that you could jump right to a month. We have so many events and it's kind of annoying to have to go month by month.
Other than that, this is an excellent calendar. Thank you for making it so easy to install!

We have this feature on our list, hopefully for the next release.
I have tried out a few calendars lately, but this one is the best. Easy install, good documentation, rich features and lot of extensions.
Hi,
I tested JCal Pro. It was a waste of my time. It looks good, but the most important thing, access right control, does not work! You cannot avoid normal users to add new events to your calendar or even to delete one from the calendar.
My advice: Read the forum postings in the homepage of JCal Pro first to see if this bug has been resolved before you give it a try.
I am looking for another extension now ...

It seems that a very small percentage of non-english language users have reported this issue. This was solved by one user (http://dev.anything-digital.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=71&topic=673.msg3309#msg3309) by modifying his server settings. We could not detect any issue in JCal Pro, and the extermely low frequency of this problem suggests an issue unrelated to JCal Pro.
Like all software, JCal Pro is not going to work for EVERY user due to vast variation in server settings. We worked on the this users particular issue for many hours, but were not successful. It's unfortunate that the effort, despite the failure, was not appreciated by this user.
I've tried different kinds of calendar components, and so far nothing beats JCal Pro.
Installations are a breeze, and if you have any problems the administrators at the Forum is always on hand to help.
Bottom line: wonderful component, wonderful support

As a Joomla noob I downloaded this to add to a website where I wanted to feature events held by different clubs.
Installation was a fast and easy.
It seemed to allow easy editing from the front or back end.
It looks good - it has yet to be trialed "in the wild" but so far there is nothing negative to say about this product it installed first time and "did what it said on the tin".
Would be nice to have some extra integration features but these might come in future releases I guess.
To the developers THANK YOU for this product :)

version 1.5.2 seems to have done the trick.
Front-end and back-end event management. Well thought out recurring event management (simpler than Jevents but did the trick for me). And of course we have the lovely looking calendar. Mods work well too- latest events is of course a necessity and easy to setup. I like the way the view categories is setup (my default view).
Clean and efficient.. 5 stars from me.
Looking forward to:
An event registration functionality (integrated to CB of course :-))

Very nice module. Setup was a breeze. Really like the look of it compared to other calendars. Easy to update for me; we'll see how it goes with the users who will be updating it.
Improvements? A way to indicate how many events should show up on one page in the Category View (the view that lists all the events). Everything shows only on one page.
thank you for good work!

Its a very nice looking and good working calendar. Today i installed the version 1.5.1.2 and in about some minutes it was ready to go. Had a small Problem with the mod_latest and asked in the forum for it. Van, one of the developers answered quick and after about some hours i had a fix in my mailbox and now it works like a charme. Thanks for jcal, thanks for support.
I just installed this item on a development site. There is one tiny bug, but the developers are quickly on it and are trying to find a fix. (A JCE issue..not sure if it is JCE or JCal at this point)
I've use Event List, GigCal and now this one and prefer JCal above the others. If you like to make quick event additions and still have the option for lots of configuration, this is the one!
Installs in a snap and the additional Spartan theme mixes with pretty much any professionally made Joomla theme around.

Thanks for the note. I just wanted to point out that for the vast majority of JCal Pro users, JCE, WYSIWYG Pro, TinyMCE and FCKEditor all work great.
I hope we also find a solution to your particular problem with editors and JCal on your site.
Was using a calendar script which opened outside of my site -- different colors, format, setup, everything different, but the program was a cinch to download and install into Joomla and looks really great, all within my present site.
It also has the possiblity of users adding events and even the admin can add events from the first page as well as approve events others have uploaded.
Boy am i a happy camper! :)
