Event Calendar: [MAJOR UPDATE] Easier event editing, chronological order + 2 more features!🚀

[Max]

Hey everyone

We are so happy to announce a big release for the Event Calendar! The new features are all about making event management simpler, and we hope they’ll make your life a little easier

What’s inside the update?

---

Edit events right from event popup

We’ve added a new feature that lets you edit events directly from the event card. Just click the event, and you’ll see the Edit button in the popup:

This makes editing quicker and easier, especially with a lot of events in your widget!

Display of event date and image in the event list

Event dates and images now appear in the event list, making it easier to view all your events at a glance:

Repeated events now have a distinct icon, so you can easily spot them:

Chronological order in the event list

Events in the list are now automatically sorted in chronological order:

Note: The manual drag-and-drop sorting option has been removed.

Past Events section

Past events are now displayed in a separate folder:

Guys, have you tested the new featured? What’s your take on it? Share your feedback in the comments – we’d love to hear from you

Hi @Max, hi @Helga, hi everyone,

Thanks for this update

Keep it up

I am looking forward to a major update of the appointment booking widget so that I can use it to offer room booking. I can’t do that right now.

I really hope the devs will add features to the module this year.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your support, @romano97002!

The good news is that we’ve just started working on this feature for Appointment Booking. As Helga said, we’ll keep you informed about any progress here

[Max]

Awesome, thanks a ton for your feedback

I’ve been waiting for this - thank you
I have about 60 entries per year with similar headings and now I can see which event I’m looking for by the date in the preview. The fact that they are in chronological order also makes it easier, great!!!

[Max]

@Alexander_Ratkovic That’s truly fantastic to know that new features hit the mark for you!

Thanks a ton for your feedback

Display of event date and image in the event list - yes, I’ve been waiting for this

[Max]

Glad to know that you like the fresh design! Many thanks for the feedback, @Tender_S

Love the updates, thank you!

Suggestion - Add options to the image feature where we can crop, edit, select the right section to display before clicking into the event where you can see the entire image. Often times I upload photos and I have to edit them over and over again outside of Elfsight so the display image fits correctly. Hopefully that makes sense.

Hey there, @user16269

A huge thank you for the feedback!

As for your suggestion, it sounds great, and I’ve added this idea to the Wishlist on your behalf - Option to adjust the image size right in the widget

If it gets more votes, it might be considered in the future

Thank you!

It’s really awesome this platform is so open to suggestions and evolving with the needs of your clients.

This is one of the best updates so far! So much easier to read information. I just need to be able to export this list now into .ccsv or excel format.

Hi @Maureen

We are so happy that you love the new feature! Thank you so much for your kind feedback

Regarding the Export to CSV option, we already have this idea on the Wishlist. Feel free to upvote it here - Export events to a JSON or CSV file
