This is the addition of an article "EventList and Joomla 1.5" I wrote 3 months ago. In the meantime we mainly worked to switch EventList to the MVC pattern and to solve a lot of minor problems under the hood. So the most changes aren't visible but you will notice it in your daily work. The following presents some screenshots in the hope this incomplete selection gives you some insight what you can expect.

We collected in the past a lot of feature request from the users of EventList. The most of them are really interesting. We have tried to sort them and bring them in order to implement them in the best way. One example for this is the implementation of a css driven layout. Axel Wehner has done a lot work on this (Currently the details are mostly finished, all the rest will follow :)).

Also many people named the uncomfortable way to asign venues to an event, so we thought it is time to work at this issue. See what we have done.

Another good example (and visible) is the improved image handling in EventList 0.9. First I have to say that the whole method was reworked. You will get better results of the thumbnails and you are not longer in need to use EventList for uploading images. Now you can use ftp or the JoomlaMedia manager because the images are resized now at the first call of the image at the frontpage.

But now what is visible? You can see that you have to options now directly in the edit form. The toolbar icon for the image upload was removed because there was no longer need for it. You click the button upload and you are able to upoad your image in a popup. After this process the imageinformation is updated in the edit form.
