{{Moodle 1.8}}Moodle allows administrators, teachers and students to easily export calendars for backing up or inserting in calendar software.
 
There are two methods for exporting a calendar in Moodle.
 
 
== To back up a calendar == [[Image:MoodleCalendarExport.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Moodle Calendar "Export calendar" and "iCal" buttons]]
 
* Click the "Export calendar" button located on the bottom of the calendar page
* Select the items you wish to back up (select "All events" to back up the entire calendar)
* Click "Export" when you are ready to export
 
Note: you can only export calendar events up to the next 60 days.
== To copy a calendar == 
 
For use on a device such as a PDA, or to import a Moodle calendar into software such as Apple iCal, Microsoft Outlook, or Mozilla Thunderbird:
* Click on the orange "iCal" button located on the bottom of the calendar page
* Alternatively, when using "Export calendar" clicking on "Get calendar URL" will provide you with a URL which can be used with other calendar software to sync with a Moodle calendar
 
Note: you cannot select individual items to include in the exported file with iCal, all events will be included.
 
You can then import the exported calendar into your desired software.
 
== Importing a Moodle calendar into Mozilla Thunderbird/Lightning ==
 
* Enter into calendar mode by clicking the Calendar icon at the bottom-right of the client
* Click Calendar -> Import... then locate the exported iCal file
 
Note: changing an event in Thunderbird/Lightning will not change the event in a Moodle calendar as well, you must do that yourself.
 
==Subscribing to a calendar in Outlook 2007==
If you use an Outlook 2007 calendar, you can have your Moodle calendar events overlaid on top (or placed side by side) by following these steps:
 
#Go to the calendar view in your Moodle install and find the orange ical icon at the bottom and right click it, choosing "copy link location".
#Open Outlook 2007 and go to Tools->account settings->internet calendars->new.
#Paste in the address you copied from Moodle.
#Click OK and close.
#You should now see another calendar available on the left hand calendar bar, underneath 'My Calendars'. Enable this and Outlook will update the calendar every time it opens.
#Right-click on the tabs to choose between 'side by side mode' and 'overlay mode'.
