The JCal Pro, renamed to JCal Client, is a GREAT calendar and events plugin for Joomla. There are many reasons that this plugin is great.

First of all, JCal is very easy to use. Non-technical users can easily create, edit, or remove calendar events. Plus, users who have JCal permiisons can access JCal from the Joomla front end. This is a very nice feature, especially if you don’t want your calendar managers to access Joomla’s backend.

Second, JCal has beautiful styling right out of the box. But if you want to modify the look and feel of Jcal calendar, you can easily do so by modifying the css style sheet.

JCal is not a free plugin, but it’s well worth the $5 for a 24-hour access to the download, or, for developers, a yearly fee of $20. I’ve heard complaints on forums about charging for plugins, but I think it is only fair to pay for the tools you use.
