Maintain, Track and List Your Events Calendar with JEvents - Joomla Event Management Extension

   JEvents is an event management extension for Joomla. It allows you to keep track as well as list your events along with full descriptions of each event. Images can also be inserted in the descriptions if required. Events can be listed and viewed in an attractive Events Calendar and a variety of list formats. A Search option is also provided.

   Basically there are three components that help you in your event management in Joomla. The main component is Events. There are optional components i.e Events Calendar, Latest Events and Events Legend.
   The Events Calendar as its name implies allows us to list the events in the form of a calendar. By default the current day has an orange background while the days for which there are events listed have a blue background. By clicking on the respective day on the calendar we can obtain a list of events scheduled for that particular day.
   The component Latest Events lists the latest events, whereas the "Events Legend" displays the list of the Categories of events. We can view the list of a particular category of events by clicking on it.
   We can categorise the events and customise the calendar views as per our liking.
   I provide full support for Installation and Configuration of the Joomla extension Jevents along with integration with Joomla content management system.
