Test the future of iCagenda!
iCagenda PRO 4.0.0-alpha1 is available for testing for users with a pro subscription!
4.0.0-alpha1, what's included?
This first alpha test version is compatible with Joomla 4 and 5. It includes a reworking of numerous files, a cleanup of all obsolete files used by Joomla 3, a completely redesigned participants list, a PayPal plug-in integrating API v2 and a revised display of the payment page, more fluid and pleasant to use...
In addition, I reworked the design on the admin side, for better integration with Joomla 5's Light/Dark Mode, as well as a new interface for the Dashboard and the Themes and Info pages.
On the site side, improvements are underway to enhance light/dark integration and accessibility.
New Admin Interface
PayPal API v2 and new payment page
The PayPal payment system is available in the Professional version of iCagenda.

Install or update to alpha 1
Test versions (alpha, beta, rc) are available to users with an active professional subscription.
This alpha version of iCagenda 4.0 is not suitable for production sites. It is for testing only.
You can download 4.0.0-alpha1 to install on your test site, whether for a new installation or an upgrade from a previous version.

Go to System > Update Extensions > Options (button)
Then, select Alpha for the option Minimum extension Stability.
