JEvents 2.1.6 Available To Club Members

JEvents 2.1.7 (for Joomla 1.5, 1.7 and 2.5) is now available to all club members (it includes a fix for a theoretical XSS vulnerability identified in versions of JEvents since 1.5.0) and incorporates a number of new features.:
  • Joomla 2.5 compatability - JEvents 2.1.7 is stable for Joomla 1.5/1.7, support for Joomla 2.5 is at beta level
  • New SEF system (backwards compatible) - fewer duplicate pages and translatable URLs
    • Typical URLs now look like:
      • monthcalendar/2011/11/-
      • eventsbyweek/2011/11/12/- (day is always first day of the week)
      • eventsbyday/2011/11/06/-
      • eventdetail/1646/-/event-title
      • eventdetail/1646/-/weely-attendance-test
      • Task part of the URL can be translated
  • Add new option to redirect spiders/crawlers to crawler menu item - will dramatically reduce search engine traffic.
  • Special module positions to allow you to display instructions to site visitors/event creators or to place the other  related modules like the filter module in more helpful positions.  The positions include:
    • jevpretoolbar, jevpretoolbar_year.listevents, jevpretoolbar_week.listevents, jevpretoolbar_cat.listevents, jevpretoolbar_day.listevents, jevpretoolbar_month.calendar
    • jevposttoolbar, jevposttoolbar_year.listevents, jevposttoolbar_week.listevents, jevposttoolbar_cat.listevents, jevposttoolbar_day.listevents, jevposttoolbar_month.calendar
    • jevpostjevents, jevpostjevents_year.listevents, jevpostjevents_week.listevents, jevpostjevents_cat.listevents, jevpostjevents_day.listevents, jevpostjevents_month.calendar
    • jevpreeditevent, jevposteditevent, jevpreeditrepeat, jevposteditrepeat
    • jevprejevents, jevprejevents_year.listevents, jevprejevents_week.listevents, jevprejevents_cat.listevents, jevprejevents_day.listevents, jevprejevents_month.calendar
  • New way of specifying category restrictions for menus/modules - a single multi-select field instead of 5-10 separate dropdowns.  This is only available in Joomla 1.7
  • Set display limit in lists to max of 100 items - to avoid server overload
  • Config option to select which icons to show in toolbar
  • Ability to sort backend lists or authorised users
  • Minor bug fixes including
    • calendar module navigation works even if alternative theme selected.
    • Don't clear out existing events if bad iCal import is encountered
    • CSS enhancements to avoid icons being not visible with some template club css
    • iCal menu items can now be constrained to specific categories etc.
If you are not using an english version of JEvents you will need to add these lines (translated of course) to your language file (e.g. language/it-IT/it-IT.com_jevents.ini ) if you want to use the new SEF system (use no spaces and no special characters in your tranlsations)

JEV_SEF_ICALREPEAT_DETAIL="eventdetail"
JEV_SEF_DAY_LISTEVENTS="eventsbyday"
JEV_SEF_MONTH_CALENDAR="monthcalendar"
JEV_SEF_WEEK_LISTEVENTS="eventsbyweek"

JEV_SEF_CAT_LISTEVENTS="eventsbycategory"

A cookie is a piece of information. It is a very small text file that is placed on your hard drive while you browse jevents.net. A cookie file is completely safe and does not store personal or confidential information.

What is the Purpose of Cookies?

Cookies allow jevents.net to remember actions that you have performed on the site, your preferences and the pages you have visited. It also tells the site that you have returned. The benefits of this are:

  • You can browse the site faster and more easily. For example, without cookies the site would not allow you to log in to the forum, download from the club members area or purchase a subscription.
  • We can understand how you use our website, e.g. the pages you visit and the links you click. This tells us what you’re interested in and helps us improve the site.

Why Should I Keep Cookies Switched On?

Parts of jevents.net rely on cookies to work properly. You may choose to set your web browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However if you do so, parts of jevents.net may not function properly.

What Cookies Do You Use?

Internal Cookies

  • Internal cookies only last for the duration of your visit (your 'session').
  • They allow us to identify that you are moving from page to page. This means we can, for example, keep you logged in as you browse the site.

External and Third Party Cookies

  • External and third party cookies allow you to connect with third party websites, such as Facebook and Twitter while you browse the site, so you can share content that you find interesting via your social networks.
  • They also enable us to use Google Analytics to track which pages you visit and ensure we produce content you’re interested in.
A full breakdown of the cookies we set can be found on our cookie details page.

Comparison Chart

JEvents is a open source project that doesn't charge you to download and use the application unlike other components like JCal Pro, or Ohanah (which actually charges a subscription fee). Development and support of JEvents takes a huge amount of time. If you choose to join the club you will be helping to keep the project going and also get access to lots of extra features and goodies.

Membership is reasonably priced and you will get access to exclusive club benefits. Check which subscription package fits better to your needs in the chart below.
