Sorry to come back on this again.

We are managing a website with 3.000 events every year. So you can understand the workload is pretty heavy. The amount of event organisers uploading the events by themselves is increasing, but still not enough. Our volunteers are squeezed searching and uploading events. The critical point is, we find events today and we can upload them only in 2 week-time... so this is not much efficient at all!

Other platforms are allowing to simply upload events via an excel sheet or other sort of tables. Events are then normally featured on their websites. And we seem to understand from other Joomla users that they would appreciate this, too. We are surely not the only ones processing such an amount of events and that this simplified version might bring a lot of added value to ICAgenda.

In fact, we would be happy if we could simply skip the event description part (e.g. the event page itself) and directly link to the external website of the organisers. In other words, the table should simply contain date, category, image url, external link.

Not sure the idea is clear. If it is not, please make a sign and will try to clarify it further.

On the latter, e.g. redirecting directly to the external link, we would be extremely grateful. When 3.8 is foreseen to be launched?

With regard to the uploading modality, this will not spare us the strife of uploading all these thousand events one by one. A source table or some sort of database would do better.

Sorry if I am not clear!

Do you suggest to ask someone here on the forum? If so, how to best reach out to them?

And thanks for the roadmap! If in the end you really intend to, I would suggest to list the possibility of external links from the homepage, as discussed above.

Will keep you posted to see how it goes!
