Extending Team Portal to have calendar...

Hello,

I'd like to try to extend a team portal to add a Calendar to the portal.  I thought there would be some type of Web part that did this i.e. mycalendar.  To my dismay I have not found that or any other web part that I could use.  My question is: Is there a calendar available for the Team Portals   If so, where can I find this calendar

Thanks a million in advance.

FYI we are using Conchango's Scrum for TFS process template.

    The Event's web part is part of the basic install of SharePoint 2.0 and 3.0. I'd be very surprised if you don't have it. Are you the WSS administrator If not, I would ask him/her about it. You should be able to see it by simply selecting 'Modify shared page/add web part/browse'. That should show the list of available web parts on the right side of the screen, and 'Events' should be one of them.

    Would this have anything to do with us running with Conchango Scrum for TFS process template. On our sandbox server I created a new Team Project running Agile and the Event web Part is there. On the other hand, any scrum based project doesn't have the events web part. I am a WSS admin, is there a place I can upload. I did a search for *.dwp on local drives of the server and nothing came up that you would think was the events web part from the names.

    Thanks again for your quick responses

    Interesting, I haven't heard of that before. Try this:

    On your site, click on 'Documents and Lists' at the top of the page.

    If you do not see a list type of 'Events', click on the 'Create' button and click select 'Events'. Fill out the form to create a new list.

    I think that might make the Events show up as a web part you can add. Please let me know what happens...

    Yes, it sounds like the SCRUM methodology is choosing a Sharepoint site template that doesn't include the Events lists. I'm not sure how to get around this, you may need to post this on the SharePoint forum (get the real experts to help). You may also try calling customer service regarding this issue. Sorry I couldn't be of more help...

    Hi,

    There is a way to do this with the 'out of the box' web parts. You use the 'Events' web part and set its properties to display as a calendar (it's the 'Selected View' property in the web part properties. set it to 'Calendar').

    I do not have the event web part as an option. Where would I find it to upload

  • Korey Atterberry

    Excellent! That's good to know.

    Dennis,

    Thanks again for your quick reply.

    Once again I do not have an Events field under lists. I was hoping I could attached or paste a couple snap shots of what I am seeing but it doesn't look like this forum has that feature. Nonetheless, it is looking more and more like a scrum issue, the agile project I created has the events object under lists. Is there a way I can import or add the events lists/ web part into my team project

    This issue rely is puzzling me, and to boot all my PM's want a calender feature of some sort on their team portal.

    Thanks,

    BJHop

    Okay,

    Here is how I fixed it

    On your application tier server with WSS, you can edit the following file:

    %Program Files%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\60\TEMPLATE\1033\SCRUM\XML\ONET.XML

    The problem is that a number of <ListTemplate> elements have an attribute "HIDDEN" set to True, I removed the attribute completely and recycled the WSSTFS appPool. The Events object appeared when I tried to create a new list, once I create the new list, that list appeared in the web parts list.
