Hello,

RSS Is generated by Joomla!

You could try viewing just one category and coping the RSS Feed produced.

can you explain more on how to do this? i clicked on a category, viewed HTML source and it has the same RSS URL as when viewing the full calendar.

I thought this might be the case.

I would suggest creating a Latest Events Module, configuring it and selecting the category restriction.

Make sure, Show RSS Feed is enabled for you to copy it.

Many thanks
Tony

Joomla 2.5

If i am on main calendar page: /calendar/month.calendar/2013/02/12/-

and view the HTML source, the only RSS feeds link are:
/index.php?option=com_jevents&task=modlatest.rss&format=feed&type=rss&Itemid=1323&modid=124

/index.php?option=com_jevents&task=modlatest.rss&format=feed&type=atom&Itemid=1323&modid=124

If I click on a category to filter the calendar, and view the HTML source, those two URLs are still the only ones that show up.
