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

Excellent Component



Posted on 12 May 2009
Very nice component. All the erros on the prev. version was solved an this actual version works fine. I had little trouble changing the php time code but after a little reads I was able to custom the events time on the module. Good work!

Outdated



Posted on 12 May 2009
I installed JEvents because it was the only thing that worked with DTRegister (and some of the neater extensions like RSEvents and RedEvents hadn't come out yet). I think it's very disappointing.



Yes, it's very robust. And more mature than some others. But the UI is antiquated at best. My users all agreed: it's ugly. And none of them could figure out how to use it very well.



And I know the devs have been spending a lot of time just bringing it up to 1.5 Native. But 1.5 is not new. Other calendar/event extensions are moving way beyond such hurdles.

Its ok, but not great



Posted on 30 April 2009
Installed fine, but changing things is a nightmare, from the word 'go' the image handling did not work and support on the forum is very poor. Users cannot upload an image they can only use existing images and it has a very complex front end of which an ordinary PC user would struggle with.



Otherwise works well and its the only extension we could find that still works on 1.0.



Good luck, would be nice to see some big improvements

Great extension!

JEvents is the best calendar component I've found yet. It's not perfect, but the developer is obviously working on it and it continues to improve.

On the down side, customization isn't very straightforward in some cases. Also, the repeating events functionality is a bit quirky.

All in all, however, this is an outstanding extension. Support through the forum is fantastic, and all of my questions have been answered quickly and thoroughly.

The issues I listed above are minor, and I expect they'll be resolved in future releases (development is active at the moment). Congrats to the developer for a great extension!
Great Event calendar works well and easy to install and configure. Had it up and running very quickly and once the user permissions are set multiple administrators can add events from the front end so no need to login to the admin area to create new events.



Well Done!

Exceptional



Posted on 03 April 2009
The module itself is great, but the support was exceptional, i had a couple of teething problems at first but Geraint was there very quick to help and even had time to sort out the problem on my site which was beyond the call of duty. Thank you for this great module and your fantastic support.
I looked for a calendar extension for my private site and found Jevents. Jevents give me all needed functionality to create a private / common calendar for my site.

I thinks that some small enhancement will increase Jevents usability:

- For event edition/add in frontend, define which calendar to use in back-end (no more selection in the front end if used)

- For event edition/add in frontend, get in account the list of category defined in back end when displaying a full calendar



I also tried to translate Jevents in french, but some label seem missing in the english file (for repeating event). When the final version will be released, I could translate the language file in French for you.



Thanks a lot for your extension
I have used the previous versions of JEvent for Joomla 1.0.x on my sites for quite some time after trying other options, some for quite a while (GCalendar, EventList, redEVENT, JCalPro when it was free). I have recently revisited it because of its integration with a registration component that I bought, which requires it. JEvents is still my favorite because it has a clean, straightforward interface, can show events in calendar format (month, week, year) or list events using categories. The new 1.5 version has also added hierarchies of categories, which add another dimension of flexibility that I don't think is matched anywhere else. Its amazing to have all of this and it still remain a free component. I am not sure about other comments about non-support. I made a suggestion to the forum earlier this morning and had a reply back within hours about how to fix the problem, with the code to use and where to put it. Looks like good support to me.
I believe this would be a great addition to anyone's joomla site (I've watched other sites using their component), but the lack of documentation or support for configuration in Joomla is incredible!



Never had so many problems with a component. It's amazing how such a high ranking component can have such a poor support for non developers.

Installed : OK

But configuration is a disaster! No way to show events on front page and I've tried everything. "Not user friendly".

J.Events might be a great software but isn't intuitive at all, this should require some documentation.

Tried the forum but entire help and support forum IS Locked and everyone with the problem I have hadn't had any reply.



Otherwise, goodluck JEVENT!
Owner's reply: The forum is NOT locked - See http://www.jevents.net/forum/

Great Component!



Posted on 22 March 2009
This is one of the best components I'm running on my page!

I need a calendar and this one is simply the best!

I use the latest version for Joomla 1.5 native.

Support is fantastic - a must have if you need a calendar on your page!
