Fair enough extension, it could be improved though in the way it adapts to different templates

Owner's reply: Thanks for the review. We have been working on something special for Joomla 3 and bootstrap that we'll be back-porting to Joomla 2.5. It should really help in this area.

Quite Awful

Sorry about the following rant. I guess this is 4 years of built-up frustration...

I've been screwing around with the JCal Pro extension since 2008 and it simply does not get better. Every so-called "upgrade" is a BIG step backwards. My clients are angry and I am exhausted trying to make JCal Pro work. I don't mind paying for it, but it should be free considering what a hassle it is to use.

What really gets me upset is the amount of time I spend troubleshooting, writing in the forums, testing, re-installing, backing up, wiping out database tables specific to the extension per customer support, and then being treated like I have installed the component incorrectly and don't know what I'm doing.

JCal Pro should not even exist. If they can't get it right they should just go away and leave us alone.

Owner's reply: I'm sorry for your experience. We'll happily offer a refund if JCal Pro does not suit your needs.

Excellent

It does all it says and support is awesome! I have no idea why others have issues, but I have been developing with Joomla since v1.0 and with this extension you get all you pay for and so much more. I am using this extension for a Knight's Of Columbus" website and they love it.

Great work guys!

Owner's reply: Thanks for the review. We'll be working on a great new bootstrapped version for Joomla 3.0 that is highly responsive.

Have purchased product works great but lots of problems when using alongside community builder this product is fine for jomsocial but not for community builder their features page for this product is very deceiving as it sugests works with community builder it would be nice if anythingdigital would make updates for cb as it does for jomsocial

for this reason i have given them a very poor review.

Owner's reply: Thanks for the review. We'll get on those CB updates for the latest version.

Please note that we do list the plugin compatibility here: http://anything-digital.com/jcal-pro/add-ons.html

Version 3 needs a LOT of work

Posted on 10 September 2012

I Purchased this extension of the basis of the large number of positive reviews. Indeed earlier versions of this product may well have been good, however this is certainly not been my experience with version 3. We have been persisting with this extension for over 6 months now so this is not a rash review

We have lodged multiple support cases on the support forum and still we are waiting for basic functionality to be fixed.

Dates and times have been problematic for our timezone from day 1. iCal export does not work properly. Dispalying upcoming events shows events from the past, and so on.

Before purchasing this extension you need to make an informed decision, look at the number of currently unsolved issues in the support forum and also look how far back the unsolved issues go. Then make up your mind.

Very Disappointing

JCAL PRO3 v 3.2.0 (Starter) Buggy!

GEOFF (2).
Posted on 01 September 2012

I am extremely disappointed! There is a major problem with the latest update that it reverts to a default Time Zone and not the Time Zone that you configure in new event.

Normally upgrades are supposed to work, in this case it has been nothing but a failure. I have logged a support call and so far nothing. And yes I paid for the Extension.

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!

Owner's reply: I'm sorry you've run into some troubles. I've looked through our open support tickets and can't find a thread similar to the bug you've described. Please drop us a line directly and we'll either send you an immediate refund or (if you prefer) solve the issue you are experiencing.

The latest version works great but the only problem There is no plugin for community builder using joomla 2.6

Very misleading

J cal pro starter, j cal pro standard. You don't now the difference until you pay to get in. All I wanted was a simple MODULE calendar. I paid for one and it turns out to be a component that if full of fatal errors.

Owner's reply: I'm sorry you had some confusion during purchase. Here's the packages and features:

ONE GIANT STEP BACKWARDS

MOST of the time upgrades are better than their predecessors however in the case of Jcal 3, nothing could be further from the truth. Simple things such as days of the week displaying when I select it not to, or THE UGLY DEFAULT THEME that the Devs REFUSE to tell anyone how to customize, and some useful features such as old popup event has now been Taken away.

Long story short, I AM INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTED with the Devs, the help although not rude, is useless when you really want to know something. The forums are moderated to the point that useful information is blocked/closed or removed by the Devs... all in an attempt to make us buy a more expensive upgrade package... one that still will not have nice themes NOR the ability to customize. DONT BUY. DEVS... POST A LINK TO A METHOD TO UPDATE THE THEMES IF I'M WRONG. I will not be paying anymore for your products, thanks. Thought Joomla was all about open source... WRONG HERE!

Owner's reply: Hello and i'm sorry the product was not right for you. Unfortunately, I cannot locate your support threads with the information you have provided.

However, I would say that the new theme system in JCal Pro is superior in nearly every way. Themes can be installed in the Joomla installer as a normal extension. Themes can be modified directly in the following location:

/ROOT/media/jcalpro/themes

If you have a custom theme, you'll want to create a unique theme for yourself otherwise you will lose your changes when u upgrade.

To NOT lose changes, we suggest then that u actually use HTML overrides to edit the views. This is method is not affected by upgrades.

We certainly are not worried about up-selling upgrade packages with premium themes. However, our support is not a custom programming service either. If you don't have the skills to edit PHP for example, you'll want to hire an expert to perform those changes.

Finally, we have a 30-day refund policy. Please contact customer service if you still desire one.

Regards,

Victor Drover
