Hi JEvent gurus,
I am looking for a Joomla extension to power a website for cinema/theatre showtimes. Does anyone know of any JEvents examples of this type of website?
To get it to work, I think the only features needed are having parent/child events, to have the parent hold the *****/Production details, and the child to hold the Session date and time, and external booking URLs.
Front-end wise, the main thing would being able to develop some module that showed Sessions grouped by Day, and then *****/Production, then by Session, with external booking links.
Any advice, or suggestions of other JEvent implementations to check out would be super.

Hello,
So you can create a repeating event with the repeat count, say it was mainly daily. with 20 in total. You can then remove/edit each repeat individually. You can also create monthly on X days.
Many thanks
Tony

Hello,
All this is completely possible with JEvents. You can use custom fields to set the remote booking url. You can use the JEvents Timelimit plugin to constrain the events shown in a module to a specific date range too.
Many thanks

Hi Tony, thank you for the info, but I've been testing with JEvents, and I don't think it's the right solution.
The main thing missing is the child events. It appears to me that JEvents have to have one date/time, or be a simple recurring event. The interesting/annoying thing about a cinema calendar is that the events repeat, but not on a predictable schedule, with multiple instances on some days, skipping a day, etcetera.
JEvents is a stunning extension, but unfortunately not right for this use case.

That is super helpful, thank you Tony. In my testing, it appears at first that the recurring events duplicate the content for the "Master" event, but then it looks like editing the master event, also updates the recurring, "Child" events. Is that accurate?
It also looks like you can edit a recurring "child" event, that will persist, just for that event. That could be very useful is a particular event had a special feature, such as a Director Q&A. Is that also accurate?

Hi Tony, I just picked up a Silver sub to properly test drive JEvents, and it's pretty great.
I've got another question that I couldn't find answers for in the forums if that's ok. Is it possible to create a new page that is the Master event, with a list of instances/recurrences of that event?
Could you also make a new page that listed upcoming events, but used the Master event, and worked out the start/end dates based on the first and last recurrence?
I might be misusing the terms Master and Recurrence, so feel free to correct me.

I'm going to move my follow up question to a different forum, as Tony already excellently answered the original question.
Thanks!

For future reference for anyone working on a similar situation, I was able to get what I needed by linking the Event to an Article by using the Agenda plugin. I then turned on 'redirect to article' in the Agenda plugin settings.
That let me use the Latest Events module to show the upcoming events, but let people click on the event name, and see the full article, not just the specific recurrence of the event.
I next plan to embed a module in the article showing upcoming events, limited to that Event.
