Create beautiful, interactive calendars and timelines from virtually any data source – and combine multiple event sources into a single unified view!

EventBlender is a powerful and flexible Joomla extension designed to help you display events, schedules, appointments, project milestones, and historical information in professional, interactive calendars and timelines.

Whether your events are stored in Excel spreadsheets, CSV files, Google Calendar, Google Sheets, databases, or external feeds, EventBlender makes it easy to transform them into attractive calendars and timelines without requiring advanced programming knowledge.

What makes EventBlender particularly powerful is its ability to combine events from multiple independent sources into a single calendar or timeline. You can even mix Google Calendar events with Excel spreadsheets, database records, and CSV files while keeping each source independently managed and updated.

With 12 ready-to-use calendar and timeline designs, intuitive online customization tools, and extensive support for local and remote data sources, EventBlender offers a complete solution for presenting event-related information on your Joomla website.

Compatible with Joomla 6, Joomla 5, Joomla 4, and Joomla 3.

12 Calendar & Timeline Layouts – Ready to Use

EventBlender includes 12 professionally designed rulesets covering different calendar and timeline presentations.

Calendar Layouts:

• Monthly Calendar: A traditional month-based calendar for displaying events and appointments.
• Monthly Calendar – Minimal: A clean, lightweight monthly calendar with a simplified appearance.
• Weekly Calendar: Present events organized by week for schedules, classes, and appointments.
• Weekly Calendar – Compact: A space-efficient weekly layout suitable for smaller content areas.
• Daily Calendar: Display detailed events and activities for a specific day.
• Agenda List: Present upcoming events in a chronological, easy-to-read list.
• Year Overview: Display events across an entire year for long-term planning and scheduling.
• Combined Calendar: Give visitors the flexibility to explore events through multiple calendar views.

• Vertical Timeline – Modern: An alternative vertical timeline with contemporary styling.
• Horizontal Timeline: Visualize events and milestones along a horizontal chronological axis.
• Horizontal Timeline – Classic: A traditional horizontal timeline presentation.

Each layout can be used immediately with the pre-installed rulesets or customized to match your website's design.

Connect to Almost Any Event Data Source

One of EventBlender's greatest strengths is its flexibility when it comes to reading event information.

Instead of manually entering events into your Joomla website, you can connect EventBlender directly to the sources where your information is already maintained.

Supported data sources include:

• CSV and Text Files: Import events from simple text files or CSV exports.
• Excel Spreadsheets: Read event information directly from Excel workbooks and worksheets.
• Google Calendar: Display events from Google Calendar using iCalendar (ICS) feeds.
• Google Sheets: Use shared Google spreadsheets as dynamic event sources.
• iCalendar (ICS): Import calendar information from Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, and other compatible calendar services.
• Joomla Databases: Retrieve events from Joomla database tables or custom SQL queries.
• External Databases: Connect to external database tables and queries.
• JSON Files and APIs: Display events provided by external applications and web services.
• XML Files: Read structured event information from XML documents.
• RSS Feeds: Transform supported RSS feed information into calendar or timeline entries.
• HTML Files and Webpages: Extract event data from HTML-based sources.
• Joomla Articles: Use Joomla article content as a source of information.
• Form Entries: Display events or information collected through supported website forms.
• Data Source Merger: Combine several existing data sources into a single unified event collection.

EventBlender can also map fields from your original data source to the expected event properties, such as event title, date, start time, end time, description, location, category, and URL.

This means you can often use your existing data without restructuring it.

Merge Multiple Event Sources into One Calendar

The Data Source Merger is one of EventBlender's most distinctive features.

Many organizations maintain their event information in different places. For example:

• A sports club manages matches and training sessions in Google Calendar.
• The club secretary maintains meetings and announcements in an Excel spreadsheet.
• Event organizers publish upcoming activities in CSV files.
• A booking application stores appointments in a database.

With EventBlender, all these events can appear together in one unified calendar or timeline.

Simply create a data source for each event collection and use the Data Source Merger to combine them.

Each original source remains independent, allowing different teams or departments to manage their own information without changing how they work.

The merged calendar brings everything together for website visitors, with options for category-based filtering and presentation.

You can even combine multiple Google Calendars into a single view.

Create Your Own Design with the Online Calendar & Timeline Wizard

EventBlender includes 12 pre-installed rulesets, but you are not limited to their default appearance.

Using the online Calendar & Timeline Wizard, you can create custom designs without writing code.

The wizard allows you to:

• Select from the available calendar and timeline layouts.
• Choose predefined color themes or configure your own colors.
• Customize headings, background colors, text colors, and visual accents.
• Configure the first day of the week and time formatting.
• Enable category filters to help visitors find relevant events.
• Enable search functionality for easier event discovery.
• Configure calendar export options.
• Preview your design using sample events before publishing.
• Save your configuration as a reusable ruleset.

Once your design is ready, download the generated ruleset and import it into EventBlender.

Design once, reuse everywhere!

A single ruleset can be applied to multiple calendars and timelines, ensuring consistent styling across your website.

Dynamic Calendars That Stay Up to Date

EventBlender supports both static and dynamic event content.

For dynamic data sources, event information is read from its original location, so your calendar can reflect updates without requiring you to manually edit Joomla articles.

For example:

• Add or update an event in Google Calendar, and the change can appear on your Joomla website.
• Modify an Excel or CSV file, and EventBlender can display the updated events.
• Insert new records into a connected database table, and they can appear in the calendar automatically.
• Update an external event feed, and EventBlender can retrieve the latest available information.

For remote sources or larger datasets, caching options can help reduce unnecessary requests and improve performance.

Interactive Features for Website Visitors

EventBlender does more than simply display a list of dates.

Depending on the selected calendar layout and configuration, visitors can interact with your events through features such as:

• Calendar navigation between days, weeks, months, or years.
• Event detail views with descriptions, times, locations, and links.
• Category-based event filtering.
• Event search functionality.
• Multiple calendar viewing modes.
• Options to copy or export events to personal calendars.
• Responsive layouts suitable for desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.

These features help visitors find relevant events quickly and make your calendar a useful part of your website.

Easy Integration into Joomla Articles and Modules

Adding an EventBlender calendar or timeline to your Joomla website is straightforward.

After creating a data source and selecting a ruleset, EventBlender generates a unique content tag that identifies your calendar or timeline.

You can insert this tag into a Joomla article or supported content area, and EventBlender automatically replaces it with the corresponding interactive presentation.

The Joomla editor integration makes inserting these tags even easier, so you don't need to memorize or manually type special commands.

A single event collection can also be presented in different ways. For example, you could display upcoming events as a monthly calendar on one page and as a vertical timeline on another.

Ideal for Many Different Types of Websites

EventBlender is suitable for a wide variety of websites and organizations, including:

• Sports Clubs: Match schedules, training sessions, tournaments, and club events.
• Schools and Universities: Academic calendars, examinations, activities, and important dates.
• Businesses: Company events, meetings, deadlines, and project milestones.
• Event Organizers: Conferences, exhibitions, festivals, and event programmes.
• Nonprofit Organizations: Community activities, fundraising events, and volunteer schedules.
• Tourism Websites: Local events, cultural activities, and seasonal attractions.
• Project Management: Project phases, milestones, and development roadmaps.
• Historical and Educational Websites: Chronological presentations of historical events and important milestones.

Whether you need a simple event calendar or a sophisticated presentation combining several independent data sources, EventBlender gives you the tools to build it.
