sharepoint 2013 events calendar social feature follow event.

can we use sharepoint 2013 social features to let use follow event in the cal

Hi Amit,

From your description, you want to follow an event from a calendar in SharePoint 2013.

By default, there are four things that you can follow: People, Documents, Sites, and #Tags.

So, it is impossible to follow an event in SharePoint 2013.

More information about following in SharePoint 2013, you can refer to:

Ok got it, but alternate way can we upload a document(naming eventname.txt) for each event added by default in document library and let user follow that document? I think this workaround will work right?

Hi Amit,

I am afraid it is not.

I created an event and added an attachment using a document in a document library, then went to the document library and followed the document. After that, I went to Newsfeed, and saw the followings only contained the doucment, not the event.

Thanks Wendy!

What I am planning to do is add another content-type to document called hyperlink of actual event and then show that in the default metadata of document in followings. I will add event hyperlink to document while adding document to lib when event is added.

Will that work?

Hi Amit,

Can you add the link content type into a document library?

Per my knowledge, list content types only can be added into Lists, not library.

Hi Amit,

Do you have any update for this issue?

I have not worked on POC yet but will keep you posted.

Hi,

Per my knowledge, there is no way to follow a calendar event.
