Hi Guys
http://www.javeaguide.com
Joomla v3.8.5
JEvents v3.4.46 Stable
Concerned user, please bring this to the attention of the owner and developer
I would like to know if you are designing a new modern club theme for JEvents
Currently you give the component for free and charge for the club themes
I use the last one the Iconic theme, yet even that one is now looking very old fashioned and out of date, how old is it?
I believe charging for old fashioned themes must be negatively affecting your revenue – I would not pay for them again myself, they are worthless
I have paid two subscriptions for the club themes so far
The club themes are now all VERY old fashioned and not worth paying for
If, not enough people pay for the club themes you won’t be able to develop the component
I would seriously recommend you design a new “flat” theme based on bootstrap that could optionally use the css from the site’s main template
I hate to compare products with producers, but the design of JCal is very up to date, and I am probably going to change my event calendar to theirs
I would recommend shipping JEvents with a really nice modern design and charging for support and access to documents and forums or something, people will pay for something that looks really good
Rather than shipping the component with an old looking theme and forcing people to buy “better” club themes, especially as those “better” themes are no longer better
I hope my comments are taken in good faith as they are offered
Please let me know your future development plans as I need to move forward with my website
Best regards
Ashley

Hello Ashley,
Great to have some awesome feedback thank you! and we are totally with you on that.
The last few months have involed a lot of our time on EasyLayouts a new awesome tool for creating template overrides using the frameworks CSS/JS that your template uses.
But as an events calendar this is much tricker. Because we have a lot of things to take into consideration, for example. You say bootstrap? great, there are 3 version of bootstrap now which all clash/conflict with each other? So create 3 themes? Bootstrap 2, Bootstrap 3 and bootstrap 4.
We are also looking at a UiKit theme and finally a JS / Ajax based theme flying on effect and all of this has been carefully considered.
We are at a crossing point with Joomla! 4 coming out, since they are using BS4 in the backend and also we have a lot of legacy options / code we cannot just drop as this will break existing sites.
If you have see any examples of calendar views you like we would love to hear them.
many thanks
Tony

Hi Tony
I am trying to achieve these designs / layouts
List or flat view - http://jmp.sh/teGZlcN
and
Module view - http://jmp.sh/JJXaueu
Is this going to be possible using a combination of the image upload plugin and the custom layouts
Or will I have to override the theme files
I would really like to make this work
If I can get this I can then spend some time on the css improving the “look”
Best regards

P.S. There is a CSS error in
File - components/com_jevents/views/iconic/assets/css/scalable.css?3.4.46
Line - 365
There is:
#jevents_body .eventstyle {box-sizing: padding-box;} – invalid property value
Should be:
#jevents_body .eventstyle {box-sizing: border-box;}
The error results in the div being pushed to the right

Hello,
From your screenshots these are already achieve able using the iconic layout and adjusting the gradient settings for the flat color. Then just using the JEvents Custom Layouts to place where you want the standard image and files image to be included.
Also, padding-box is valid. See:

Many thanks

Hi Tony
OK, I will have a go at creating that layout
And
According to css-tricks padding-box is only supported by Firefox - See
https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/b/box-sizing/#browser-support
near the end of the page you linked to
But in reality it is not - See screen capture http://jmp.sh/AOAgL8a
I think you are trying to achieve this - see screen capture with box-sizing set as border-box - http://jmp.sh/VHlo5v0
border-box is a better option as it renders the element the same and in all browsers
Best regards
Ashley

Hi Tony
Firefox dropped support for padding-box in version 57 - https://caniuse.com/#feat=css3-boxsizing
It was never adopted as part of the standard css3 - https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/PR-css-ui-3-20171214/#box-model
