<h1>JEM 2.x Help</h1>
|
|
|
|
<h2><strong>Welcome</strong></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Welcome to the stable version of JEM 2.1 for Joomla 2.5 and 3.3.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This software is a fork of Eventlist, one of the most popular non-commercial Event Management components for Joomla. <br/>
|
|
This first public release of JEM combines the functionality of Eventlist 1.0.1, 1.0.2 and 1.1,
|
|
together with many code improvements and tweaks and hacks that have been contributed by the community over the last years.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
With JEM 2.1 you get a version supporting both Joomla 2.5 (2.5.24 or newer) and Joomla 3.3 (3.3.3 or newer).
|
|
Also Joomla 3.2.7 or newer is supported for sites where Joomla 3.3 can't be used caused by an old PHP version.
|
|
The main difference between JEM 2.0 and 2.1 series is additional support for Joomla 3.
|
|
So you can simply update from JEM 2.0.x to 2.1.x. We suggest to do so before upgrading to Joomla 3.3.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Together with the JEM component, the following modules and plugins have been installed:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>JEM Module, (upcoming events basic module)</li>
|
|
<li>JEM Wide Module, (upcoming events Wide module)</li>
|
|
<li>Calendar Module, for date navigation</li>
|
|
<li>Teaser Module, to display upcoming events</li>
|
|
<li>Search Plugin</li>
|
|
<li>Finder Plugin (smart search)</li>
|
|
<li>Mailer Plugin, to make the settings on which events JEM should send emails</li>
|
|
<li>Comments Plugin, integration with JomComments, JComments, JXtended Comments</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you want to use any of these modules and plugins,
|
|
please do not forget to publish them in the module manager and the plugin manager.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>We hope you like this new version of JEM for Joomla 2.5 and 3.3!</p>

<h2><strong>Introduction</strong></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
JEM is an Event Management Component for Joomla.
|
|
It's not a calendar but an easy way to manage and present your events for your group, company or community.
|
|
JEM offers a lot of features and possibilities which make your work easier, like the Venue database, Event recurrence,
|
|
Venue geotagging and much more.
|
|
But also for your site visitors JEM has some additional features to offer,
|
|
like a simple registration system, map service links, or the submission/edit of events and venues from the site Frontend.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2><strong>Quickstart guide</strong></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>After the successful installation of JEM you need to take at least 3 steps.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>The first step</strong> is to configure the settings you need in the JEM configuration. Set the format of the date and
|
|
time, enable image thumbnail creation and set the layout of the table columns. <br/>
|
|
Optionally you can integrate the <a href="http://www.joomlapolis.com" target="_blank">community builder</a> enhanced
|
|
user profile component in the settings. Most of the settings are self explanatory. If not, move your mouse pointer
|
|
over the text to get more detailed information or click on the help icon in the toolbar.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>The second step</strong> is to create the categories. Every event you create must be assigned to a category. For example,
|
|
if you have a music site you could use Rock, Rap, Dance, Electronic, etc.
|
|
For each category you can set access permission levels. All events assigned to this category will only be visible
|
|
for the group you have given access to.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>The third step</strong> is to create the menu item(s) in the Joomla! menu manager. JEM offers many different menu views:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>A Calendar View</li>
|
|
<li>A Category Listing</li>
|
|
<li>A Category Listing (detailed)</li>
|
|
<li>A Category Calendar</li>
|
|
<li>A Single Category Listing</li>
|
|
<li>A Listing of the Current Day</li>
|
|
<li>An Event Submission Form</li>
|
|
<li>A Venue Submission Form</li>
|
|
<li>A Single Event View</li>
|
|
<li>A Simple List of Events</li>
|
|
<li>My Attendances</li>
|
|
<li>My Events</li>
|
|
<li>My Venues</li>
|
|
<li>A Search Form</li>
|
|
<li>A Venue Calendar</li>
|
|
<li>A Single Venue</li>
|
|
<li>A Venues Listing</li>
|
|
<li>A Week Calendar</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you have taken these steps you are ready to input your events.
|
|
If you want to assign your events to venues you first have to create the venue information.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2><strong>ACL - Access Control List</strong></h2>
|
|
<p> Some special attention is required for ACL. If you want to use it, you need to know that Joomla ACL is partially integrated in version 2.x of JEM.
|
|
At this moment ACL works on Categories and Events, not yet on Venues.
|
|
|
|
<p> Viewing rights are set in Joomla under:
|
|
<strong>Users</strong> → <strong>Access Levels</strong> → <strong>Viewing Access Levels</strong></p>
|
|
|
|
<p> Edit rights are set in JEM under:
|
|
<strong>Control Panel</strong> → <strong>Options (icon)</strong> → <strong>Permissions</strong></p>
|
|
Here you can set global permissions per user group.
|
|
So for example if you only want publisher to create/edit stuff you can:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>create user</li>
|
|
<li>assign that user only to the group "publisher"</li>
|
|
<li>create access-view level in the back called "publisher"</li>
|
|
<li>click the config button (jem main view), set rights for publisher</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p> Now you can create a menu-link to submit-event and set access to publisher. But when viewing the eventslist the
|
|
user will see the submitbutton and when viewing an event he can edit it. <br/>
|
|
Be aware that someone with the access/edit rights will see all the categories!
|
|
|
|
Further restricted access is organised via JEM Groups. Here you can specify an unlimited number of groups that contain users.
|
|
If a group is assigned to a Category only the specified users in the group have write access to that category.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> In Events there are 2 ACL settings: The first one is an indirect one. Via the category (or categories) to which an event belongs,
|
|
edit access can be restricted to the users in the group that is linked to the Category. Also the read access level of cateories is respected.
|
|
The second ACL setting is the read access. This is derived from the category/ies access level but can also be set using Access field of the event.
|
|
|
|
Please note that user needs correct view access level to see and edit events. Edit permission is not enough.
