Events Component

  • 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

I like it



Posted on 04 October 2006
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?

Big improvement



Posted on 28 September 2006
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!

Pretty Good Calendar



Posted on 15 September 2006
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

steady pace

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!
Owner's reply: 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..

Cool

For me looks great. Excellent piece of art.



Theres a new version comming soon?
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:



http://www.openskywebdesign.com/joomla/modules/mod_events_cal.css



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.

Just perfect



Posted on 21 July 2006
I'm helping build a mmo WoW guild website and this calendar was the best that suited our needs. Aside from the afore mentioned problems of the backend resetting the dates, I'd like to see a feature of 'no end date' for continuous reoccurring events. As is, the only way to do so is to simply skip forwards a handful of years.



One other thing I'd like to see is the ability to make the frontpage calendar module have it's own ministylesheet. I'm using the NightMoves template by PixelBunniP and the background for the modules is by default transparent, resulting in an unreadable calendar module. Looking at the Events Style, I see no option to edit this, and doing a flat "all modules have this background" looks odd.



All in all, I highly suggest this module to anyone looking for a simple and easy to use calendar for their group.
I want to correct and clarify my previous review. The "bugs" I mentioned actually have workarounds, so they are really usability issues. Once I learned the specific way (not very intuitive) to correctly make repeating events, they worked like a charm. (The end date has to be set properly, or else they won't work.)



I love the easy style sheet editing too.



This is my new calendar of choice!!
