Using Jumi to add easyphpcalendar to a Joomla website

If you want to use easy php calendar on a Joomla site then there are two ways to go about it, either use a wrapper, or use the Jumi module. There’s another post here about wrappers, this one is about the Jumi module.

If you only want to show a month view of your calendar then it looks pretty silly as a small view in a wrapper, so you might want to put it into a module position within your Joomla template, that’s really much more convenient.

What I discovered is that it works, but if there is a problem the whole site goes down!

Why?

If the Jumi module fails with a php error such as file not found, it generates a php error and script execution ceases, which stops the whole site immediately. If it had been a script within an iframe, then the main site would have continued running and the iframe alone would have shown an error message. So, keep that in mind when deciding whether or not to use Jumi.
