I created a list template from calender type. When I deploy the solution, and view that list I cannot see the add link when I put the mouse pointer over any date box.

But when I created the same list from SharePoint 2013 calendar list, I am able to see this link.

The following picture is of the list which is created from SharePoint:

enter image description here

The same thing is not visible from Calendar template list.

What should I do?

  • The Calendar from your custom solution is inside a Site Definition, is a template? Is there any code involved?

I have been reviewing my site definition and I have a Calendar that is deployed in a Publishing site. The Elements.xml of that list is as follows

<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
    <ListInstance Title="Calendar" OnQuickLaunch="FALSE" TemplateType="106" FeatureId="00bfea71-ec85-4903-972d-ebe475780106" Url="Lists/Calendar" Description="Community Calendar"></ListInstance>
</Elements>

Notice the TemplateType. Must be = 106

  • This is set in Visual Studio when you add an object of type List Definition

Yes, Really TemplateType = 106 is important to get the proper functionality of the SharePoint.

<ListInstance Title="TestCalendar" OnQuickLaunch="FALSE" TemplateType="106" FeatureId="00bfea61-ec65-4803-972d-ebe775780746" Url="Lists/Calendar" Description="Test Calendar"><
/ListInstance>

Please look this element.xml file in the VS Solution.
