Hello,

You go to:

Joomla Admin
Components
JEvents
Manage Events
Click New top right.

Or in the front end, if you have sufficient rights, under every JEvents view there is an 'Add Event' or in the monthly view there is a + icon when you hover over the item.

Or you can create a Joomla! Create events module item.

Many thanks
Tony

Thanks for that i finally worked it out. It's just that I find the site confusing. What is standard and free and what has to be paid for and what does it do, a simple list with description might add more simplicity! And less tech speak!
Anyway,configuration? In the latest events module, can I switch off the search function when viewing, i simply want to look at the event here, not go to another event from here!

Hello,

The above is standard Joomla! practice.

If you go to the Modules configuration and set 'is link' to no and make sure display calendar link is set to no/none.

Thanks
Tony

Hi Tony, Sorry lost?

Do you mean "configuration" in the "jevents component"? Under this I can find no reference to "is link" or "display calendar link"? Also, in my desperation in looking I have changed something and now whilst the events still display the link to the event note is gone?

Hello,

You specified:

In the latest events module

So if you EDIT the Latest Events Module Configuration from:

Joomla! Admin
Extensions
Module Manager

You can edit it there.

Thanks
Tony

Sorry Tony it must be me?

If I open the "latest events" module I have 3 tabs, basic details, options and menu assignment. I can not find any reference to "is link" or "display calendar link"? Under options there is "display link to calendar component" which is already set to "no link"!

Please look for exactly:

Display Events As Link

Thanks
Tony

yes got that. That's not the problem. If I disable this I can't then view the item! The problem is when you view the item most of the page is taken up with the search boxes to other items! I want to lose the search boxes when viewing the item?

To do that, disable the header navigation from JEvents core and / or the Menu Item you created to JEvents.

Thanks
Tony

Wonderful, success, thank you

You are very welcome.

Many thanks
Tony

Hi, Having solved my initial problems re displaying the latest events module (thank you again). I set about trying to display the calendar on an article page and was having great difficulty displaying it in anything but the mini view? Not sure what I did but it stopped displaying any of my latest events,(My guess is I did something which un sinced it?) I could not get latest events to display at all! Out of desperation I deleted the modules and tried to re install the whole thing. This does not work! The original component remains as it was,(I know this as it still has previously added events in the component)but it does not re install the modules? So I downloaded the individual modules but I just get the message " cannot find joomla XML setup file" Please help?

Hello,

How did you remove the modules?

you would need to do a complete uninstall and reinstall to reinstall them.

You cannot get JEvents to show in an article. JEvents is a Component, so you create a menu item.

Thanks
Tony

Sorry I haven't had time to look at this for a few days. I trashed the modules, I have no idea how to remove the component element please advise?

Hello,

To remove JEvents from your installation it is standard Joomla! Practice to go to the Extension Manager and then Manage. Select what you want to uninstall and click uninstall.

Thanks
Tony

Thanks for that I'm back where I was! OK, can I display the calendar directly in large format so that I can see all the events at a glance or with mouse over? I can only seem to display it in "mini" which shows no detail?

Hello,

Then you have still not created a menu item to link to the calendar and you are just using modules?

So Joomla! -> menus -> select your menu -> Menu Items -> New

Select JEvents Calendar.

Thanks
Tony

Great thanks for that. A little feed back, firstly your support is "brilliant", i will add that comment to your blog. Secondly for future reference when dealing with a pleb like me, I had created a menu item but had selected "article" not jevents!

Hello John,

Not a pleb at all. Just a Joomla! newbie That's great thank you!

Many thanks
Tony

Hi Tony,
