Just as the title says.. this event calendar is excellent! There is one problem that I have and it is with IE 7. For some reason when you click on a latest event in the latest events module and you have seo friendly url's on. IE 7 doesnt seem to realize there are catids in the URL. Once I did a urldecode on the catids $_REQUEST then it worked in all browsers. I would report this on the sourceforge page, but it seldom seems to be working these days :( So hopefully the developer will see this comment! :)
the software is really good. it has got rich functionalities. definitely if someone can put a good documentation, will help others. I am working on it. if I am done with one, I will provide it in the community. but the software is Excellent..!.. -Muthukumar
I installed this on a new website and use it in conjunction with Attend Events (another nice tool). I had a few hicups with Open SEF, but those has since been resolved. I'm sure that a bot will be developed so that links can goto the CB Profile instead of the email. Really, an excellent calendar system.
Links to add and edit content are in a strange place... it would be better placed in a menu using standard menu classes used from the main style sheet.
Lots of customization options, including its own CSS! That's impressive. A disappointing selection of attribute values though... odd non-neutral colors and a calendar that doesn't stretch to width.
Category management is sort of confusing, since it uses its own categories a user can get confused with jooma categories.
This would be a great component if it allowed frontend content manipulation.
Overall this calendar extension is better than all the others I've seen.

This is a great project that shows lots of promise. It appears to have an active team and in short order i would expect to give this project a 5 star rating.
The look out of the box is terrible. The color scheme needs improvement.
The calendar is also missing many useful features. one feature it is missing is the ability to repeat events based on "x' number of days. ie. Repeat an event evey 3 days, 10, days or what ever variable you select. This would give the repeat events more flexibility.
Also some features like ical would be nice. Great work.

Seems to work just fine but this calendar looks awful. If it looked as good as extCalendar I would prefer it because it's less busy visually and has the nice javascript pop-up's for each event.
I got the colors looking better by editing the css file but had trouble positioning the main month calendar and getting it to expand 100% across the page.
If it looked at least decent I would have given it 5 stars.
If you're good at messing with css and other files that affect positioning, you should try it out.
Good luck,

With JEvents + Attend Event, it is almost perfect.
I held a website of a dog club and frequently organize functions for our club members. JEvents allows members to see all our events and Attend Event make it possible for members to join our activities by submitting all customised information I need. This combination is much better than Akoreservation. Highly recommended.

I've tried various calendars for my small, non-profit organization's website. We have lots of events (usually 5 or more per day), so a very functional calendar was a must. This version of JEvents has added significant functionality and raises this project well above other non-comercial calendars for Joomla. Just as important, active development and support are ongoing.
With a little work, you can customize the color schemes of the modules and components to match your website, and you'll have a great calendar!

I have use these component module for a long time. Before I use it with Mambo now change to Joomla. This is the function I need. Simple for Install and easy to use.
I will always watch this canlendar work.
Wishlist:
1. When add an event which happenes weekly or monthly, I can not define the end time. What is available is the end date.
2. Is it possible to add a new feature that the registered user can join the event which has upper limit number of attendees?

This is a big improvement over 1.2 (eek, didn't even realize 1.3 was out before seeing this version). One thing I would like to see is that the Author be handled the same way that Joomla Content is handled. I don't want to see the username, and I don't want it to be linked to the mailto: email address of the user, (at the very least, give us the option). Would also like to have email cloaking in the Contact field. Saving the venue, and linking the venue to a map would be icing on the cake!
This calendar is really coming along. There are some features I didn't notice, and pardon me if I overlooked any of the following, but I would like to see:
- Option to turn off WYSIWYG and have a plain text version.
- Ability to save venues for future selection.
- A specific entry for venue websites under extra.
- Option to turn off images.
- Ability to end an event at Midnight, without carrying the event over to the next day. An override that plugs in the word 'Midnight' perhaps?
- An available list view of the events from the current day forward. With the option of hiding events that repeat.
- Ability to copy an existing event, and then edit it as a completely separate event. A real time saver.
- An option to flag an event as featured, so that featured events get preferential listing under latest events.
- Thanks

An awesome contribution to the community!
good calendars are hard to find - this one is great
Great work with the search bot - makes it easier 4 sure.
1 gripe - doesn't work well with standard SEF enabled - Nor with open-SEF - redirects crash. Unable to run both Events and SEF + be able to edit from the front end successfully.
I will be looking out for your updates - Keep up the grand work!

There are no known problems with the Joomla builtin SEF - try out the demo site.
If you are having other problems please report them using the tracker (link above) and we'll see if we can help..
A really fine event calendar but I really prefer my dates to be right aligned in the little calendar display (so that the 7 lines up with the 4 in 14, not the 1) - to do this I added "text-align: right;" to many of the styles in modules/mod_events_cal.css - here is my version:

Also my client was annoyed that the events in the admin area were not sorted by date, so I fixed that as well.
But generally this is a high quality product. Nice displays. Esay to use.

Calenders are hard to find for Joomla - good ones espacially. This is my favorite, but it has many limitations. To mee, its mostly lacking ways of displaying events. I can chose a monthly view - but not choose to see items from one category in that monthly view. Actually all views are boring lists, except the monthly one - that shows all items, disregarding categories. And thats just one example.
But still. I haven't found any better component, so I live with the limts.
