Introduction

EventList is just that what the name would lead you to expect. It's not a calendar but an easy way to manage and present your Events for your group, company or community. EventList offers a lot features and possibilities which makes your work easier, like the Venue database, Frontend editing with more than the three Joomla! access levels, Picture resizing and much more. But also for your site visitors EventList has some additional features to offer, like a simple registration system, map service links, or the submission of new events and venues.

Quickstart guide

After the successful installation of EventList you need to do at least 3 Steps.
The first one is to configure the settings you need in the EventList configuration. Set the format of the date and time, enable image thumbnail creation, set the name of the table columns or integrate the community builder enhanced user profile component. Most of the settings are self explanatory. If not, move your mouse pointer over the text to get more detailed information or click on the help icon in the toolbar.

The second step is to create the categories. Every event you create must be assigned to a category. For example, if you have a music site you could use Rock, Ska, Electronic, etc. For each category you can set access permission levels. All events assigned to this category will only be visible for the group you have given access to.

The third step is to create the menu item in the Joomla! menu manager. EventList offers 11 different menu views:

A simple List of events
A category listing
A category listing with limited number of events as preview
A listing of the current day
A detailed Venue listing
To a specified Event
To a category with all events assigned to it
To a Venue with all events assigned to it
To the event submission form
To the venue submission form
A simple List events and registrations the user submitted

If you have done these steps you are ready to type in your events. If you want to assign your events to venues you have first to create the venue information. If you like EventList and find it useful, please consider a donation.
