The JEvents package includes the main component, several modules and plugins to provide a feature rich solution to cover all of your event / calendar needs. Here is a quick rundown of what is included:

Events Component

  • One-off Events and complex repeat patterns of events that can be created and viewed in an attractive calendar and a variety of list formats
  • Multiple design layouts possible and customisable as we follow the Joomla! template override standards.
  • Fully compatible with Joomla MVC framework
  • iCal imports and exports of events and calendars - import a calendar from Google and from your phone and present the merged list of events in a singular calendar or event list view
  • Repeat event exception handling - remove one event repeat or change the event repeat date, the repeat time or the event description etc.
    • Support all day events or events with no end times
  • Events can be placed in multiple categories and calendar views that can be customised to show events from all or some of these categories
  • Optional checking for overlapping events on a global or category specific basis - so you can block event creation when the new event overlaps with an existing event

Custom layouts editor

If you're not happy with the default output - we offer a unique Layout editing tool to perfect the presentation of your single event pages, event lists and calendar views of your events. With just some basic HTML and CSS you can really customise the whole page to create the perfect event calendar for your needs

  • Edit how to display your events in: Events Detail page, Event List views or in the Monthly Calendar cells.
  • You can even customise the event editing page to make it easier for your users to submit events or edit an existing event
  • Custom layouts can be category specific, so your sports events can be laid out differently to your music events etc.
  • Running a multilingual site? Your layouts can also be language specific!! You can create translations of your events too so your visitors will see the details of each event in their own language.

Modules

  • Event Calendar module provides you with a basic monthly calendar view. Coloured to highlight when events are occurring and links to day lists of events or directly to single events.
  • Latest events module (List of events) which gives a highly configurable summary of upcoming events, recently created events or popular events
  • Events legend (Category List) - displayed alongside the component gives you a summary of event categories and an easy way to limit the events shown to specific categories
  • Filter module allows you to filter/search the events being displayed using a variety of search filters which are selectable within the module.

Events Search Plugin

  • A search plugin that enables the global Joomla search to search from the events in your event calendar

Availability

JEvents has been powering event and calendar functionality on Joomla websites since 2006 and we have helped countless users to get their website running with a fully functional events / calendar system and will keep on providing JEvents for the foreseeable future. We are passionate about Joomla! and have been from the beginning so we are not going anywhere soon.

JEvents 3.4 is available for general download - this is a Joomla 3.x native component that takes JEvents to the next level using jQuery and Bootstrap.

Addons Available

Free and paid extensions are available to further extend the functionality of JEvents from our site and from 3rd party developers. You can therefore further and enhance your events management and presentation capabilities.

I have a client who wanted a cosmetically attractive display, complex options for recurring events, and SIMPLE front-end event entry so his customers could enter their own events. A very tough combination. I looked at every possible component/module/package. I even bought a couple. In the end, the flexibility of JEvents (custom fields, custom event entry, and custom display)coupled with their excellent and timely support (and patience with me) won the day.
It is a complex extension for events. Calendars, customizable layouts, filters...

And perfect, fast support!

I can only recommend!
i decide to use this extension because my old one was not good for joomla 3.0



This extension is easy to use.



i ask for support for a problem of setup and i get anwser in less than 24hours and i get the solution. Very good relation from the support. I recommend this extension
When I am trying to upgrade one of the component, there is a problem that prevents the process. I wrote a post regarding this problem and the team replied in hours. The problem is now solved and I am very satisfied. I asked for support a couple days ago and the issue was addressed quickly, too. Good job and please keep it good!
JEvents is one of my favourite extensions for a reason. I've been using it for years now and have seen it grow. Support is great, Geraint and Tony are very fast to react to any question and help as long as you need to solve your problem.

The past few years I've been using the paid version, so I can offer my clients events subscription and all the other good stuff. It's well worth it!



The backend gives you endless options to configure and I am very happy with that because I'll avoid coding at any cost ;-)



The one thing that could be improved I guess are the themes, but with a bit of styling that's easy to fix.



I was ashamed to see I hadn't reviewed it yet; it deserves better, so I'll remedie that now :-)



Thanks guys and keep up the good work!
I've been using this component for many years now, from the free version to Gold membership. That really says it all: Great addons, excellent support.
It does the job well and when you need support, you are not alone in the free forum.
Pros of this extension is, that it’s free and they seem to offer good support. Probably, it’s still the best calendar-extension, which you get for free.



The software-developement, however, is a bit, let’s say: maverick. I mean, don’t look a gift horse in the mouth, but the following aspects are huge drawbacks, when you want to customize the component:

* Heavy use of inline-CSS instead of offering a decent class system. It’s a pain to customize the standard-themes

* Not-native admin interface (in the backend.)

* Poor rights management: Support for the native usergroups is lacking at all. This approach is very confusing – in the end you have a completely separated and thus redundant rights structure.

* It’s a huge effort to unravel their file structure and naming conventions (e.g. for creating an override).



Like I said: for a free extension all this is fairly okay! – But I would not be willing to pay anything for this.
Owner's reply: * We are constantly reducing our inline CSS and try only to use it for things like event specific colours. We are always open to suggestions in the support forums to add helpful CSS class and id selectors.
* We use the standard Joomla backend interface
* We offer full Joomla ACL support with an optional ability to manage permissions on a user by user basis if you prefer
* We use the Joomla MVC system for our presentation but with the ability to switch themes - so standard Joomla template overrides work. Because of the ability to switch themes there is one extra folder name in the template override path - we have free documentation articles that explain this and are always happy to answer questions in the support forum.
I can only say EXCELLENT in capital letters. The JEventes not only covers all my needs for publishing and managing events, their directories from locations and categories make it the best tool I know of to publish directories without having to resort nor envy any other tool of the market.



Thanks to the developers for their great work and support,always with a very rapid and effective response to each question or suggestion that sent to them.
This ext is very helpful and well developed. I set it up for our company's internal website and have no regret! Great choice for those who looking for event management extension.
