RSJoomla! Blog - tutorials, tips & updates about joomla extensions

The users interaction in the web 2.0 era represents a key factor for your website success.
The social element becomes even more important when you own an event website and you need to allow users to interact with each other through comments.

Therefore, having a comment system for your Joomla! event based website is not something that should be overlooked.

An easy way to achieve this is to use RSEvents!, as a Joomla! event extension together with RSComments!, as a Joomla! comment extension.

How to use RSEvents! with RSComments! ?

We will show you below how to configure RSEvents! in order to use RSComments! as a comment system for events.

Step 1:

In the Joomla! administrator panel, head to Components >> RSEvents! >> Settings >> Events and select RSComments! as the default Joomla! comment extension.

Suppose you have a Joomla! based community website where users can organize local events from concerts to meetings and fundraisings.

One of the project requirements is to be able to sell the priveligies to add events. For example, one would be able to pay in order to add an event.

Users that want to manage their own events (create new events or even sell tickets via PayPal) will periodically be charged.

The Joomla! Project has just announced the availability of Joomla! 1.6.3, which fixes several issues that were affecting the 1.6.2 backend functionality.

RSFirewall! has been updated with Joomla! 1.6.3 hash files as well.

If you're using 1.6 on production environments, we recommend updating both Joomla! and RSFirewall! to the latest revisions (Joomla! 1.6.3, respective RSFirewall! rev. 25).
