JEM for your Event Management

JEM is an Event Management component for the Joomla CMS. It's fully based on the popular Eventlist component, originally developed by Schlu. The aim is to keep the component forward compatible with Eventlist, so current users can upgrade easily. JEM is developed and supported by a community of volunteers. The best news: It's free!

If you feel like you can contribute to the development, feel free to visit the forum and see how you can participate.

August 2022 - About JEM for Joomla! 4....your support is needed
We want to inform you about JEM for Joomla! 4. JEM is still the best Event Manager and Calendar extension for Joomla!, and it is free and open source!

We now want to make JEM ready for Joomla 4 – with your help! We created a crowdfunding project on the Startnext platform:


The current situation


Until now volunteer programmers have invested a lot of time free of charge to create JEM and keep it free and alive. Most of them went on to new projects.

That means for the next step we came up with a new strategy, and that is where you come in:
To get JEM ready for Joomla! 4, we need your support1

We want to raise the money to get a freelance programmer to do the coding,
The JEM team will do the project setup, management and supervision.
If everybody who uses JEM donates a small (or bigger) amount, it will work!

So, why should you donate:
- JEM will run on Joomla! 4 – no need to switch to an equivalent extension (which all are commercial)
- You save money – other similar event manager extensions cost up to € 80 per year
- JEM will stay free of charge.

Please support JEM and help to make it run on Joomla 4

And if you are a coder and want to support JEM with your coding skills – read on and let us know!

Thank you!

October 2017
Version 2.2.2 is out, now using the Joomla! Update System, so you will never miss a new version again! We also improved the code, thus making our rock stable extension even faster than before. We introduce custom fields in modules and there is a brand new plugin to list your events in any article.

And apart from this, many, many smaller enhancements and bug fixes.

November 2015
A new version of JEM was released. Along with a lot of smaller improvements (see the changelog for them) we are taking a huge step forward, bringing JEM in line with the standard Joomla ACL rules.

Before you upgrade a current installation please consider:
If you use template overrides please note that all views have been changed and there is a good chance that your overrides won't work as expected. So please check the changes and adapt your files.

September 2014
Today the JEM community proudly announces the immediate release of our first production-stable version: JEM 2.0!

With this version we will apply for an official listing on the Joomla Extensions Directory. Hopefully that will bring this component under the attention of a bigger public and will attract some more folks to relief our development team.
Along the way we updated this site, so we are ready for a bulk of visitors ;-)

 

Eventlist forum support is also here

While the original forum on Schlu.net is down we will keep hosting the forum for Eventlist here. There are still thousands of websites running this component, and community support is essential for most users. It would be a pity if all the knowledge about Evenlilist would be lost for future reference.

What's next?

There's loads to do from here. The list is almost end-less, but we think of the following at least:

  • provide community support for the new extension
  • constitute an association that will have only one simple goal: to safe-keep this domain name and facilitate the community in developing new versions and promoting the software on various channels
  • redevelop this website into something slick ;-)
