Events Calendar
WARNING: This is not yet fully functional. Make a BACKUP of your Joomla installation before installing!
Eric Lamette and Dave McDonnell have created the original Events Mambo component some time ago. There were some issues regarding the compatibility of Events with the MambelFish (which are solved in the files you can download here) and there were some bugs in the code for recurring events (which are fixed in the files you can download here), and finally one big problem of Events is also solved: you are now able to suspend recurring events for just one day and let the whole rest untouched. So you don't have to mess around if your regular event pauses one month/week, just enter the date and the event ID into the database and be happy.
Technical information:
This version of Events has an extra table in the database, named jos_events_suspended (if you have set the table prefix to "jos_"). It has four columns: id, year, month and day. Simply enter the ID of the event you want to suspend (found as parameter "agid" in the link to the event) and the date you want the event not to show up, and you're done.
There is no back-end interface for the suspending functionality yet, I plan to do this later (which may also mean never, so don't count on this). You have to use phpMyAdmin or something like it to edit the database comfortably, or go the hard-core way and use mysql on the command line.
Limitations:
I have removed the navigation, so you have to use the mod_events_cal to allow your users to navigate through your calendar, and it was reported that my version breaks something if one attempts to go back to the original component (in connection with PHP5 compatibility).
This is a rough version (for Joomla 1.0) of JEvents which is developed here for Joomla 1.5. Download an interim release of JEvents for Joomla 1.0 here. If you absolutely want a stable solution, you'll have to wait...
Download:
I use com_events, mod_events_cal and mod_events_latest, so these three are here for download. Please use the sourceforge.net File Release System to get them!
