Worked straight out of the box and is perfect for displaying our monthly club meetings, allowing members to register their attendance at the meeting. We needed it to work in English & French for our multilingual club and I had a small problem with the french calendar. I left a note on the support forum and was contacted within 30 minutes,the support was superb and the issue was quickly sorted out by the team. Well done guys! Thanks for the hard work.
Not only is this an extremely cool event calendar with many awesome features and a beautiful display, but I also can not speak highly enough of the support team for this product!
They have been amazing and worked with me to diagnose a problem I was having with the calendar - which ended up being something to do with the website I had installed it on rather than an issue with the product itself! They were extremely kind and patient, and I would definitely recommend investing in ANY of their products!!

I purchased a developer membership from JTAG and am very pleased with their responsiveness to my questions and their willingness to improve their products.
I had purchased my membership prior to reading about some support issues that subscribers were having, but all my recent support requests have been responded to fairly quickly - overall I'm happy with the support I've gotten.
I think the JTAG Calendar is fantastic, and with a few updates and adjustments it will be the best calendar extension out there.
My only complaint would be the upgrade process; you must uninstall the extension before upgrading; which deletes any events that you have scheduled.

Hello,
Many thanks for your feedback. We are always looking out for feedback inorder to improve the product to serve the customers better.
You would be pleased to know that we have just rolled out the functionality to be able to upgrade the JTAG Calendar without having to uninstall - so no more hassle of backing up data in order toavoid loss of any events already scheduled.
Hope you will find this useful!
Regards,
JTAG Support
This is just a warning to anyone wishing to add and html (such as links, pictures, fonts and layout within event descriptions).
YOU CANNOT ADD HTML TO EVENT DESCRIPTIONS ON THIS CALENDER.
It doesn't mention it in the description because it doesn't offer it. The calender looks good and works well if you don't need to add html. As im sure most people like me need to be able to add html to the events description I can't give this extension a good rating. After viewing the support forums the developers don't look like they'll be adding this feature anytime soon, even though there are a lot of people requesting it.

Hello,
JTAG Calendar supports plugging in HTML in the Event Notes since Version 2.0.8 - images, links, etc. Please upgrade to the latest version and if you face any issues with enabling it please give us an opportunity to fix it by sharing details via the support forum or support[at]joomlatag[dot]com.
We welcome your feedback and are eager to help resolve your issues.
Regards,
JTAG Team
I've used a number of calendar extensions and this one is by far the prettiest.
Easy to customize and has a number of useful features.
The only lacking function is the ability to insert a full calendar within an article.

This component is one of the best looking calendar components for Joomla. Additionally, I really like the Mac iCal-like design, which plays pretty well on mobile devices as well as different systems.
However, the component is not compatible with 2.5 as specified by the developer. I cannot access any of my calendars having updated to 2.5 following the developer's public blessing of 2.5 compatibility.
Furthermore, the developer seems to have gone otherwise dormant - with major work still being required to get this component to work properly in supported systems or work at all in Joomla 2.5. Forum posts languish for days and weeks without any answer.
I cannot recommend this component at this time. Fix the 2.5 incompatibility at the very least!

This is a nice component but sadly did not fit the requirements of my clients. This was not realised until after purchase due to a number of features being not available and this wasn't apparent until after purchase. I politely requested a refund, which was agreed to but three following requests for this to be actioned on have been ignored. I mention this as a warning to anyone viewing this product, to carefully read through the list of this products attributes and ask questions if you are unsure. Also to have a good relationship with your host server as I found myself in a they said, he said situation with the product not functioning correctly, and both claiming it was due to the other.
I initially had some problems with this tool (I was an early user of it). The support was good and changes and fixes were made.
It's a good calendar tool, though it has some display issues where the available room for it is small (it does not display well in a 600px space - there are overlaps). I had a 1000px wide site with 2 200px sidebars and it couldn't handle it. However, I selected not to display the right side bar and it displays well at 800px.
Support is generally good, though I have experienced a few unanswered emails. But a big kudos to them, when I complained about it Jtag really got onto it and made it right.
For it's purpose, this could become #1 with the addition of a couple of items - the most pressing, IMHO, is emailing a user when they register to confirm details and sending a copy to the admin.

I've purchased and tried several other calendars. This one is the best of all.
It's features reach with excellent design.
I have a very secured hosting with lots of limitations.
Installing any software on my environment is very hard but I contacted Jtag support and received a lot of help. they are really going an extra mile. thank you

JTAG Calendar is simple to use and flexible to customize. The JTAG Support group has been excellent at fixing bugs, responding to issues and also taking feedback to make the product even better. Worth the money!
Very good extension, smooth and trendy layout, lots of features and looking to improve. Their support is outstanding!
Implemented the software on Joomla 1.7 site. Interface is great especially daily view is terrific. Great job well done but need some fixes and improvements. Full screen button misplaced with some reason. Editing event sometimes not updating even you see "updated succesfully" message. 2 different colours available only, silver and dark green, would like to have more.
Customizing interface not allowed, I would like to get rid off full screen button, attend button etc, there is any option for these unfortunately.
Events on the calendar well visible and color options unlimited, that is great.
The worst thing about this software is customer support. Whoever buy this software should not expect any customer support as they seems not exist. Overall, I found that software great and essential but unreliable and scares me. If they can fix and improve this, definetely will be the best one.

We strongly disagree about support, as you can see on our forums , especially the thread that deals with Jtag calendar is very active. We have same day or next day responses to issues and constantly fixing report bugs
Very good calendar. As good as iCal for Mac. Some small bugs, but I'm sure they will become resulted soon. The Support Team is excelent.
Keep improving this Module !

Incredible. The features are amazing, I will be able to keep track of all my activities. The map feature is the best. COOL interface. The support team at JTag was very helpful.
I have contacted them a while ago. No response at all. Product design looks ok and useful but it is not enough reason to buy without support.
