Migrating Calendar Plus from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2010

Migrating Calendar Plus from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2010

Be sure you have at least the Minimum SharePoint 2007 Product Release (shown in the table below) installed before migrating. If not, upgrade your Bamboo product release before migrating. For more information, see Upgrading your Bamboo Web Part. Also, the target SharePoint 2010 farm requires at least the Minimum SharePoint 2010 product release shown.

Icon-Warning IMPORTANT: When migrating from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2010, you MUST select the option to change existing SharePoint sites to use the new user experience. Your Bamboo products will not perform as expected with the old look and feel.

Minimum SharePoint 2007 Product Release 4.0.96 Minimum SharePoint 2010 Product Release 40.0.36
In-Place Upgrade
Issues The Calendar Plus Web Part migrates with a minor user interface issue with the Action Bar.

The interface in WSSv3/MOSS before the migration:

The interface after migrating to SharePoint 2010:
UI on migrated 2010a.png

Resolution The user interface issue with the Navigation and Current Date occurs on all SharePoint sites converted from SharePoint 2007. The issue does not occur on newly-created sites in SharePoint 2010. Unfortunately, there is no resolution to this issue at this time.
Database Attach Upgrade Method
Issues The successful migration of the Calendar Plus Web Part is based on the configuration of the data source:

  1. If the data source is a SharePoint List or Library or a Bamboo List Rollup, and a relative URL was used to define the location, users will experience the same minor user interface issue with the Action Bar as seen after an In-Place Upgrade above. See screen shots above.
  2. If the Calendar Plus Web Part is connecting to a SharePoint List or Library or a Bamboo List Rollup and absolute paths are used, the Web Part will display an error.
Resolution For Case 2 above, the Data Source for the Calendar Plus web part must be reconfigured. Bamboo Solutions recommends using a relative URL whenever configuring any web part to minimize this type of issue in the future.
