Decent Calendar, Crappy Support

Jonathan Roseland (5).
Posted on 08 December 2010

I needed the very best Joomla calendar extension available for a project. There's about 3-4 full calendar components out there, some are free, I went with the most expensive available, JcalPro which starts at about $70. Since it was the nicest looking & had the Flex module.

For the most part it is a nice looking & functioning extension. However I ran into a very serious bug with the flex module that makes JCalPro just about useless to me. I've done a lot of trouble shooting to try to figure this out. I also put in a ticket on the developers forum for help, the developers took a long time to respond & I believe are just ignoring my problem at this point. At this point I don't see much choice other than to dispute the the charges for the extension with paypal & find another calendar extension.

I'm rating it two stars for the nice looking & functioning calendar. In my opinion, Joomla extension developers should charge whatever they need to for they extensions to cover the costs of providing excellent support to their customers.

A Great Tool, With One Limitation

Posted on 17 November 2010

I was yet another casualty of the disappearance of the Thyme calendar product. After downloading and testing, I settled on JCal & purchased a matching subscription. Installation and set-up was easy, adding repeating events, exceptions, and maintaining the calendar was very straight-forward, and overall the tool worked flawlessly. Support was good, almost all of the needed answers could be found on the free forum.

The one limitation I hit was RSS support. I need to be able to syndicate upcoming events (i.e., have a feed where subscribers would see a summary of all upcoming events for the next X number of days.) Sadly, there's no way to accomplish this with JCal without hacking some of your own code.

Apart from the one caveat above, I recommend the product.

Thank you

Great Calendar

I have used this calendar on 2 commercial websites. One of which has a calendar for each department. There are 9 different departments that have their own calendar. Very handy with the drop-down sort by calendar option. If only the category color could be applied to the font for the event. Also an email event option would be a nice enhancement. Overall this is the most professional calendar extension out there. Thanks!

Great calendar except for editing possibilities

Posted on 15 July 2010

JCal Pro is probably one of the best calendars out there except for the fact that they forgot something that is extremely important, in fact so important that it might make this worthless to a lot of businesses. While they have provided a nice interface to add repeating events and now the ability to repeat them on specific days of the month like 2nd Saturday, there is no way to edit just one of those events in the string. For a dance studio client of mine, periodically their Monday classes might be canceled because of a holiday for example. To get around the problem, you have to delete the event and then reenter it.

Owner's reply: Thanks for the review katandmouse. However, JCal Pro definitely supports recurring event exceptions. Its very simple. Once your recurring event is created, just delete/unpublish the date that is the exception. All the other occurrences remain intact. You can do this from either the admin interface or the frontend. The documentation on this is found here (login required): http://dev.anything-digital.com/Documentation/JCal-Pro/Recurring-Events-and-Exceptions.html

JCalPro - Best Calendar Extension

I used a lot of calendars, and a few paid ones. By far, JCAL Pro is the best. I run a professional business site and JCAL Pro look and usability are perfect for a great design and user interaction.

Great extension with great options.

JCal Pro has been very stable for us over the years. The only real drawback for us is the lack of an online registration system that handles payments.

I Like it but...

Michael Gora (1).
Posted on 16 April 2010

Great product, but not quite complete yet. What I really want is the functionality of the old calendar at eventkeeper.com. See the demos of how this is used at many libraries to list events with lengthy descriptions. Ideally, I would like to support about 6 venues with an easy ability to see each of them individually with events that have lengthy descriptions.

Good component, nice presentation, but themes do not install, and support is insufficient

Adelheid Paternoster (1).
Posted on 13 March 2010

Was happy with the installation of the component, and working on adding events. Missing the possibility to create venues, and link the event to those, though. However, I am most disappointed in not being able to install the themes. Support responded that it is a permissions issue, but the service provider assured me it is not. So asked for additional support on installing the themes, but none is forthcoming. So basically I choose a subscription with 3 themes, but can only use the default. This is important for other potential customers to know.

Owner's reply: Thanks for the note. Unfortunately we cannot troubleshoot issues with hosts. I will say that on 99% of sites, this works fine.

If you PM 'vdrover' on our forum I can give you a tip on how to over-write the default theme with the premium theme of your choosing.

In JCal Pro 3, themes will become joomla plugins, and will be even more reliable.
