I was wondering if I could get some advice on a particular setup. From what I've read I'm fairly certain that jEvents will be able to handle what I'm planning. However, there looks like there could be several ways to achieve the end result.

A client of mine has a chain of stores with several outlets. Each of those outlets has a user within Joomla on their site, and can update their own outlet page restricted by the Joomla ACL. They have lots of regular events in the individual outlets, but with the same kind of events. I want each outlet to be able to manage their own events in the admin, but have the ability for visitors to the front end to see a calendar/list of all events at a particular location, OR to be able to filter to a particular type of event (category?) across all locations. So…

Admin:
- A calendar for each location (ie user -- assuming the Joomla ACL will suffice)

Front End:
- Show all events from every user/calendar in a single calendar/list [for a given date range]
- Show a user's events in a single calendar displayed on their page (a single location)
- Filter to show only a specific type (category?) of event (quantity surveying, underwater basket weaving… whatever) from all events in the system, or from a single location

What do you think would be the most logical approach to set this up, and which jEvents plugins/modules should I use?

Cheers :)

Hello,

from what i can see your best option would be:

A Single calendar (calendars are more like feeds)

Use Managed Locations for your locations, and then you can use the managed locations filter in the frontend to filter by location too,

Then you can show all events per location etc. Joomla! ALC will only allow users to create and edit their own events. Geraint has just recently added a filter for 'Users' so you can filter on a user basis.

Many thanks
Tony

Sounds logical. Is there any option for something like an iCal feed from a specific location/user feed? I assume that the event types would be shared categories and that these can be filtered within a Managed Location filter frontend.

Hello,

iCalendar feeds at present are generated of a singular menu item, so you could create multiple menu item export feeds which are constrained by the menu item options.

Many thanks

Sorry about the issues with the contact form. Our webhost upgraded PHP at the weekend and it appears to have caused a few problems :( - they are working on a fix now.

It looks as though your membership has been upgraded successfully - can you confirm all is ok?
