Hello, i have many articles about past events in my site on Joomla. I can't copy all of this to iCagenda, and i want just display events from standard Joomla category.

Hello,

There's no link between iCagenda and Articles categories (com_content). There are 2 separated components.

But this is maybe an idea to have an article import inside iCagenda... maybe... B)

Latest version : iCagenda 4.0.17 Joomla! 4 > Joomla! 6
We recommend every user to keep iCagenda updated.
Support for iCagenda version 3.9 (the final version compatible with Joomla 3) ended on October 13, 2026
Extended security support for the iCagenda PRO 3.9 version until October 13, 2027 (to benefit from this extended support, you must have a Pro subscription: www.joomlic.com/extensions/icagenda)
Don't forget to have your Joomla!® up-to-date!

Do you like iCagenda?
I would appreciate if you could take 5 minutes to post a review on JED (Joomla Extensions Directory) .

Ok. I understand you. Thank you!

But If you want do it in future - the best way is something like "online-link" between iCagenda category and Joomla category, and it should work like this:
If you, for example, choose "link category" (or something like that) option in iCagenda config, and then you post some event into joomla category "events", that event also appears into iCagenda category;

And one more question:

What I need do to add additional fields are required when a user regs in to the event? I wish, for example, to make obligatory for filling, for example, ZIP-code and address?

Hi!

About categories, don't think it could be as simpler than that, but maybe i can see in the future a import Joomla categories function... Will check this when i will improve categories management.

For your second question about custom fields, the 3.4.0 version is tested since 4 months by pro users, with this functionnality (and much more!) integrated ;-)

This Sunday, i will release for Pro Users the 3.4.0-rc

And if everything is ok, i will release just before Christmas the 3.4.0 release for all! ;-)

Regards,
Cyril

Yep, being able to automatically make events from a normal article category will be a great addition to this software.

I just set aside Icagenda in a big project because that function is not possible….

Just want to add that it seem possible in other Agenda/Calendar/Events component.

Also you can probably use the Joomla articles setting “Start Publishing Date” — “Finish publishing Date” & “Created Date” for the Time of the events.

This will be a great addition to your system as Joomla article are always the most flexible way to present any type of content (Events or not) and use a familiar interface for the authors.
