Add “New Event” link/button to Calendar view

Question

I am new to SharePoint, so please hang in there with me as I try to muddle through this.

I have a calendar that I would like to add a link to click on to add a new event to in the calendar view so that the users do not have to click on Events> New Event.

What is the best way to accomplish this task?

Thanks!

Answer 1

I figured this out. Here is how I did it.

1. Click on Calendar
2. Change view to All Events
3. Click on "New Event"
4. Grab the url from the "New Event" form to use for url link.

Answer 2

When you are looking at a calendar styled view and mouse over any given day there should be a little link that says "add" that appears on that day. Clicking it will open the form for you to add an item to the calendar with related day you selected.

Answer 3

The url for Adding a new event inside a calendar should be as follow:-

/Lists/<<calender name>>/NewForm.aspx

you can edit the page and then add a link which have the above url. so when users click on the link a new event form will be opened...
