Is it possible to list ALL the active EVENTS in a summary format on the website frontend for users to easily access?

If you go here, http://secure2.vqcdesigns.com/~attorney/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=77&Itemid=67, you will see on the right hand side I have a listing (currently just HTML for display purposes) under Upcoming Events which displays mock events right now.  I would like to be able to display something similar to each of the Events I have created in CiviEvents.  I know I could hard-code the links, but I was looking for something more streamlined since our client will not want to have to manually add event listings each time they create an event.  Is there a module out there for CiviCRM that would allow for this functionality?

I am running Joomla 1.5.2 and CiviCRM 2.0.2.

Is there anything special I need to do to have the events show up in the RSS feed?  I am getting the following error in IE7 when I click on the icon:  This feed contains code errors.

When I click on it in Firefox, it doesn't display any of my event listings.

The link works fine in both IE7 and Firefox for me.  Any suggestions why mine doesn't work?

Your best bet is to compare the RSS generated on the demo site vs the RSS generated from your site and see if you can spot places where an error is thrown

I am now able to get the feed to appear: http://secure2.vqcdesigns.com/~attorney/administrator/index2.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/event/ical&reset=1&page=1&rss=1 ; however, I cannot get it to work with any RSS readers that are available through the Joomla Extensions area at http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,listcats/cat_id,1801/Itemid,35/.  Is this in a format that can be read by an RSS reader?  I desperately need to get this feed working so that it displays a list of the events created within CiviCRM on the website frontend.

I saw the post in the WIKI for the PHP code to integrate the API with Drupal; however, I am using Joomla so that will not work for me.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think this is an issue with the Joomla RSS feed readers.  If I try to run the RSS feed that you posted at http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/event/ical?reset=1&page=1&rss=1 , nothing is appearing either.   If I try to run that link through a feed validator at http://feedvalidator.org/, it says the feed does not validate.

I was able to get this working by troubleshooting it based off the output of the Feed Validator.  Thanks for the help.

The first thing that was causing the error with the Feed Validator was the fact that I had the wrong URL.  I was trying to use the following URL: http://secure2.vqcdesigns.com/~attorney/administrator/index2.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/event/ical&reset=1&page=1&rss=1 when it should have been using http://secure2.vqcdesigns.com/~attorney/index2.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/event/ical&reset=1&page=1&rss=1 . Notice in the 2nd URL, I removed 'administrator' from the URL string.  That was an oversight on my part.

After running the correct url through the Feed Validator, I corrected the errors that it was pointing to.  It was mainly some errors with some unsupported characters.  Once I corrected that, it worked fine through the RSS Reader I am using with Joomla.
