I have been using the GCalendar Google sync and Upcoming Event calendars for years for a non-profit I volunteer for with no issues. When I tried updating with the free version of DPCalendar found that a)the Google calendar sync is only available with the paid version and b) that when I tried creating a new calendar from scratch with DPCalendar and adding an event, the event wouldn't save. I got a message from the app that it *did* save the event but it doesn't show up on the calendar or the Event manager. I tried posting to their Calendar View page about my problem but have been ignored. I can't recommend to the board of the non-profit to purchase an extension if I can't even get the free version to work. I will be using a different calendar program that offers the functionality we need and is eager to provide support.

I have been a user of GCalendar for years and never experienced any particular issue. I have recently discovered that Google will showdown the old APIs on nov 2014 so an update is needed and discovered the new one if the DPCalendar.

I downloaded and tried this new free version. It works great, so I want to thank the authors for their efforts and I understand their point of view about support and the need to get paid to develop good software.

My only observation is that this free version has lost the Google calendar synch, which can only be achieved purchasing the Professional version (together with other plugins).

This simply means there is no more a free version capable to show the Google calendars in a Joomla website.

So I'd ask the authors to include in the free version at least one of the plugins that allow the synch with Google.



About the GCalendar plugin, that's ok, but it relies on the old GCalendar code which is no more maintained as the security best practices strongly suggest to remove aa code like this (my site has been recently attacked with a pattern that leveraged a possibile gcalendar vulnerability).



And, about the commercial version annual fee, it's nut much for the small amount of money, but non-profit websites like the one I manage (for free...) cannot simply allow to pay "multiple small fees" for all the commercial components.

So, a special price for non-profit organisations would be an option to add to license schema.



Thanks and keep up the good work

Lite version worked flawlessly for me however I really wanted some of the extras so bought the premium version and have not been disappointed. I'm now pulling calendars from Google, Exchange, iCal and a few internal calendars all at once. I don't think I could be more pleased with how everything is working. Even had a plugin created to pull data from a scheduling app we utilize. I would give this a higher rating if possible. Best calendar extension yet.

I have been using GCalendar for years and on the rare occasion I had an issue, I have always received great support from the developer. I have been using DPCalendar Lite and it works as well as its predecessor. Will upgrade to the Pro version to get the Google Calendar Plugin!

A product /company is judged by iits support and documentation. Essentialy how easy and user friendly their product is. This is a nice extension, well designed and graphivcally nice too.



However my problem was there is no clear documentation. That too is okay as I understand developers get busy. By my biggest disappointment was, there is no place to contact them or open a support ticket. The support button is useless as it just shows a list of bugs/support number. The event module does not display events from google calendar and there is nothing anywhere for me to get help or ask for help. Calendar module is fine and does show google calendar event.



I hope that the support area will improve or at least have a forum where we can get help from others.

Brilliant extension that is shipped with a load of features and options making is very customizable. 5/5

I had to integrate three private (!)Google-Calendars on my Website. Since 4 years the GCalendar works fine.

The Google-API for the GCalendar but work only to November 2014!

With GCalendar and the free (!) Version of DPCalendar working the Google-Calendar after November! This is great and very accomodating!

- easy to install

- easy to use

- easy to modify

- good support

Been happily using gcalendar for years (at least since they fixed a major vulnerability) but I'm very disappointed with this new version. I specifically wanted to use the Google Calendar import and had significant issues to the point where I won't be using this and going elsewhere.

I was using the old Gcalendar which I absolutely loved. Now we are told we have to migrate to DPcalendar which I did. DPcalendar seems to work good except for the event popup. It opens below the full calendar. I tried all sorts of things to debug what's going on but I just can't figure it out. I registered on the DP website but can find no way to receive support for this product. Because there is a problem with DPcalendar and I cant find a way to get help with it, I just can no longer recommend it and I'm going to have to uninstall it.
