Cavorting With Calendars

First things first: someone wants a calendar from you, and you go to "More Options" on your subsite of choice, but despite it being a Team Work Site for Working In Teams, there are no calendars available.

Whoops.

1. Go to your Site Settings.
2. Go to SITE ACTIONS > Manage Site Features.
3. Hammer any button with the  icon until it breaks.
4. You now have access to Calendars and other Fucking Default Shit People Will Want for Working Together
1. Drink, because your left navigation now has a phone memo list in it for no fucking reason, yet A Motherfucking Calendar has not been activated by default
2. And your left nav also says "Lists."
3. Go to Site Settings, Look and Feel > navigation
4. Delete that shit and re-link it.
5. Notice that the left nav has decided all your links are headings.
6. Drink. You have calendars to update and your phone just started going because the left nav says "lists" and someone upstairs is bored enough to have noticed.
7. Check your broken analytics and decide it doesn't matter because you already memorized the four people who look at this site ever.
8. Go back to correcting your calendars.

There are several types of Calendar in Sharepoint 2010, and this does not matter a whit because nothing but your basic Calendar will work properly for you out of the box.

This is a logical place to split out Calendars, Basic from Calendars, Colouring and Resource Calendars. It is also a short post, because I have a lot of rum to neck.

What, still bored? Required to be in the office over break? We already know you have an open, largely unmonitored internet connection, so why not go to Tom and Lorenzo and check out the 2012 Miss Universe competition. Kill your afternoon. It's Friday.  My analytics say y'all are all Canadian. Go home. Get gone.

Come back in January with your hangover and a desperate need to fix calendars, since that is all we're doing next month.
