Good joomla calendar?

[fpccsvb]

Hi all,

I'm looking for suggestions for a good (free) calendar that either integrates with joomla or is an actual joomla extension.

Any suggestions? This is for a church...

TIA...

I like ExtCal Calendar its easy and simple http://sourceforge.net/projects/extcal/

I used Google Calendar for our church website. It's free and you don't need to give access to the Joomla! admin to whoever maintains the calendar events. The maintenance of the calendar is within a Google admin.

See it in use on the Joomla! - News page http://www.joomla.org/content/blogcategory/0/33/

They have the calendar squished in the left column near the bottom. You can have the calendar in a larger module or in the body though. It looks much nicer as a larger calendar. People can subscribe to your events on their own Google calendar too.

I had a look at this calendar and I must admit it looks good and also the features are as expected.
What my concern is that this a separate package and not to be integrated as a Joomla Component, right?
And therefore it need to be payed for.

Yes, it needs to be paid for. It can be administered as a component within Joomla and/or separately. It is extremely flexible and has a lot of features that others do not have. On the other hand, I was banging my head at first trying to figure it out.

A very good calendar that is quite easy to use is JCal Pro which is a fork of extCal. ExtCal remains a good calendar, but has a few unresolved bugs. I use extCal on our school website, but will probably switch to JCal Pro as it has recently integrated some features that I need.

It does not integrate with joomla (besides with a wrapper) but I really like EasyPhpCalendar:

It is not free, but it is cheap and easy to use, as well as customizable. You can make it do RSS streams and just about whatever else you want.
