Try setting the Type, Scope, and RecurrenceRowset properties as follows:

<View 
    List="Lists/HR Transactions" 
    BaseViewID="2" 
    WebPartZoneID="Main" 
    WebPartOrder="1"
    Type="CALENDAR" 
    Scope="Recursive" 
    RecurrenceRowset="TRUE">

  • Hey Rich, I have that in the schema.xml as follows <View BaseViewID="2" DisplayName="Holiday Calendar" Type="CALENDAR" WebPartZoneID="Main" MobileView="TRUE" MobileDefaultView="TRUE" SetupPath="pages\viewpage.aspx" ImageUrl="/_layouts/15/images/events.png" Url="calendar.aspx" RecurrenceRowset="TRUE" DefaultView="TRUE" ShowHeaderUI="TRUE" MobileUrl="_layouts/15/mobile/viewdaily.aspx"> you think i should try putting it in the element.xml?

  • I would start with the properties I've listed. Not all of the attributes of the schema's View element are supported for a module's View element. See View Element (Module) for a full list (note that CALENDAR isn't listed as an option for type, but I've seen examples where it works).

  • Thanks for that Rich, tried it with no luck...i'm running out of ideas!

  • I can tell this definitely works for Modules sections within an onet.xml file for SP 2010. Maybe it doesn't work in a feature separate from a site definition or maybe it is different in SP 2013. But I would think it should work.
