The frontend documentation explains the JEM views that visitors and registered users can access from the public side of a Joomla site. These pages are usually displayed through Joomla menu items created by the site administrator.
The exact fields, buttons, and actions visible on the frontend depend on the JEM settings, Joomla menu item configuration, access levels, and user permissions.
Frontend Views
JEM provides several frontend views for browsing events, calendars, categories, venues, event types, venue types, search results, and user-specific event information.

Events
Event views are the most common frontend entry point. They let visitors browse published events, open event detail pages, view events on a map, or use simplified event lists.
- Events List: display published events in a list layout.
- Events Map: display events with map-related information.
- Event Detail: show one event with its details, venue, registration options, and related information.
- Submit Event: allow authorized frontend users to create or edit events.
- Simple List: display a compact event list.
Calendars
Calendar views show events in date-based layouts. They are useful when visitors need to browse events by day, week, month, category, or venue.
Categories, Venues, and Types
These views help visitors browse events through the structure used by the site administrator. Categories are usually the main event organization method, while venues and types provide additional ways to group and filter content.
User Area
User-area views are intended for logged-in users. Depending on permissions and settings, users can search events, manage their own submitted events or venues, and review their registrations or attendance history.
Frontend Submission
Frontend event and venue submission is controlled by Joomla permissions and JEM settings. A logged-in user must have the required permissions before submit or edit actions are shown.
For a practical guide aimed at frontend users, see the frontend user help article if it is published on this documentation site.
