I had spent a long time and $$$s on finding the correct calendar component for my site. Other components had either too many features (and an inability to remove unwanted features) or didn't have enough features. I wish I had tried JEvents first! It would have saved me days of frustration. I'm certainly not a Joomla! expert but I found the config highly flexible and intuitive and the support I needed was fast and friendly.
Well done guys :)

JEvents is a powerful component for Joomla to easily make announcements on your website as well as sophisticated scheduling in various ways including rights-management for a specified circle of users.
Moreover I appreciate the outstanding support by the developer in helping me to implement the brand new version of JEvents for Joomla 3.0. Quick, friendly and VERY competent. Commendable!
Many thanks to Geraint & Team for this great work!

This component is well written and seems to be able to do all tasks asked of it. The forums have been a pleasure. I usually get a reply in less then a 12hrs. I will continue to use it on all my sites.
I tried various event date extensions and this one is in my oppion the BEST work done for Joomla 2.5! You have a very wide range of addons for it by the use of the provided subscription plan! So you be able to fit almost every need. Thanks guys for your excellent support work and for this really nice extension!
Guys, what a fantastic job on this one! This extension has all you can think of related to calendar management and it is unbelieveable simple to install and use.
This extension has a LOT of options to help you do what you need, or it can be used out of the box for simpler needs.
I've used it in several ways on a few different sites and am impressed as I learn more of its features each time.
Support has been great as well, the community forum is active and responsive to suggestions and issues, with frequent updates to their downloads.

Used this component on some recent projects and I must say it is great. Lots of features, best among all free alternatives.
I gave it 4 stars because little more work could be done on back-end UX but do not be mistaken this is a great calendar component and I highly recommend it!

This is a great events calendar and is very intuitive to use. Had a small permissions bug, but the developer without any complaint took the time to investigate the issue and released a fix.
The backend configuration could use a little clean up and organization, but for something that is free it is really superb and a great pice of work.
It is built properly allowing language & template overrides to be easily done!

Just what I was looking for, nearly.
I need the front page summary public but the detailed body page secure.

Hi Bob - there is a JEvents Club member addon that allows you to have the title/time of an event public but the details hidden from unlogged in users.
There're several layouts to present your calendar of events depending on your needs. I really like its flexibility
If I am looking for a Calendar for a site then this is the one I prefer to use. Jevents is simple to install, configure and use.
It can be updated from front and back and is easy to use for website visitors and registered users.
The modules for displaying events on other pages are very simple and easy to configure and fit nicely into the theme of my sites.

Using JEvents calendar for a football site I'm building. It's great EXCEPT, in order to re-size the mini-calendar portion, you have to dig around in the CSS file, (unless I'm missing something, in which case, feel free to correct me here), This is kinda tough for some people.
Suggestion would be to add an option to automatically re-size the mini calendar without actually having to modify the CSS file. Otherwise, it's a great addition to my site. Thanks to the developersdevelopers

Auto resizing the mini-calendar is not that easy given the huge variety of style settings from template providers. But it would be possible to set a config option where you enter the size you want in the module parameters.
We'll look into it - thanks for the suggestion.
I run a number event styles across several sites. The support from the team to guide me where I went wrong has been outstanding.
Where I have requested additional little features, they have been forthcoming and worked first time!
Whilst I have used another events extension, which was also good, my future is with JEvents.
Well done Geraint!

Being still new to Joomla I need extentions that are easy to understand and use. JEvents fits the bill wonderfully. Two linked calendars on one site with only a couple of minor compatibility problems that were resolved by Geraint and Tony P with minimal delay. Excellent support, thank you!! I recommend this as a flexible and fun extension to use.
I initially tried 2 other highly rated calendars and neither worked with Joomla 2.5.1. After much frustration, I purchased a 6 month silver subscription to JEvents 2.1. The calendar worked very well, and support was excellent. I needed images on the calendar, both on the monthly calendar view and event descriptions, so I installed the JEvents File & Image Upload plug-in. That plug-in was great, and I'm using several other plug-ins too. My client loves her calendar. Jevents is a solid and a great product with excellent support. If you need a calendar for Joomla 2.5, use this one.
