JEvents features a monthly calendar layout with 4 built in themes and additional themes are available to club members. This image shows the Alternative, Ext, Geraint and Iconic (club members only) layouts.
You can choose how many events to display on each day, truncate long event titles and a helpful tooltip pops up when the mouse hovers over an event showing some more detail.
The content of the 'cell' and the tooltip can be cusomised using the built in layout editor in JEvents.
You can show your events as a list - with a choice of weekly, daily, annual, category based and also a specified date range. The club member layouts also allow you to display the events in a month as a list.
The layout editor in JEvents allows you to customise what information is displayed for each event in your list.
The screenshots show the Ext and Alternative layouts together with 2 club member layouts (ExtPlus and Iconic).
A mini-calendar module allows your visitors to link directly to specific dates and to navigate month by month or year by year.
The screenshots show the Ext, Defaut, Geraint and Ruthin (club members) layouts.
The calendar module sizing and colours can be customised using CSS.
The latest events module allows you to list upcoming, historic, popular or recently created.
This is a very flexible and powerful module for JEvents and an essential part of most sites that use JEvents. This screenshot shows the free layouts that come with JEvents plus the iconic layout available to silver members.
The layout editor in JEvents allows you to customise what information is displayed for each event in your list and event detail view.
A drop down field selector gives you a comprehensive list of available fields to display which is extended by any JEvents club addons you install. For example by adding the location manager you get the option to plce the event location map and venue details. In this example the layout has been enhanced by the managed locations addon and the standard image addon - both are available to silver members of the JEvents club.
You can manage permissions on a user specific basis (authorised user mode) or using the Joomla 2.5 user groups.
In addition permissions can be set for specific categories so you can have users who can create/edit events in one category but not in another.
You can configure JEvents to block the creation of events that overlap with other events or repeats.
You can set this universally to block any overlapping events or on a category specific basis - this way you can stop the creation of more than one event in the same category at the same time.
Club member addons such as the managed locations addon can be used to block the creation of overlapping events at the same venue. The screenshot here tells the creator of this event that there is already a clashing event occuring at the Ruthin Goal Museum.
You can create sophisticated repeat event patterns. for example its easy to create events that repeat on:
When you want to change a specific repeat - maybe the date or time is different to the normal pattern or the venue or description is changes you can easily change the specific repeat in the frontend or backend of Joomla. If you want to delete a specific repeat or all future repeats that is easy too.
The RSVP Pro addon for JEvents Club Gold members allows you to offer event reminders to event attendees, invitees, registered users or users who provide a validated email address. You configure which group or users can request reminders.
You can also setup the addon so that attendees (or all registered users) are auto reminded before events.
You configure the addon to set the lead time before the event that you want the reminder to be sent and a server crontab job/scheduled task sends the messages at the appropriate time.
You can also customise the reminder message that is sent on an event-by-event basis.
Note that the screenshots above feature a new experimental SMS plugin that allows reminders to be sent via SMS. This is a new feature and needs a special plugin to be written for each SMS gateway - if a new gateway is required we may need to charge for the cost of its development.
A demo video of this functionality is available - click the "More about this product" link below.
The RSVP Pro addon for JEvents Club Gold members allows the event creator/JEvents admin users to send email based invitations to registered users of your site or other people using email addresses.
You see a summary of which invitees have viewed the events and which have accepted or declined the invitation.
You can save lists of invitees to re-use another time. You can invite your JomSocial or Community Builder friends as a group.
You can setup a list of users to autoinvited to each newly created event.
You can make events private to invitees to that non-invitees don't see the event.
The invitation message can be customised on an event by event basis.
A demo video of this functionality is available - click the "More about this product" link below.
The RSVP Pro addon for JEvents Club Gold members allows the event creator to configure an event so that site visitors/registered users can record their intention to attend.

You can setup complex forms to request specific information about your attendees with support for conditional fields, charges/fees dependent on the choices made by the attendee and different charges for different Joomla user groups.
