Calendar Synchronize between website and ingame
As far as I'm aware, not at the moment, unfortunately.
There was a suggestion some time ago for it, but it didn't get very far: https://guildlaunch.uservoice.com/forums/106449-gamer-launch-feature-requests/suggestions/4537099-wow-in-game-calendar-syncing
Personally, even just a one way sync (where it showed on the website what was showing in-game, without enabling any ability to sign up in the website that would show in-game) would be beneficial, perhaps via an addon, but I don't think it's possible currently.
Is there a way to synchronize the website calendar and the WoW in-game calendar?
This is something we took a long hard look into. The Blizzard API lets us take in a lot of game data, but it does not give any data on in-game Calendar. Our suspicion is this was done on purpose, not sure why though. If anything changes and we can get that data from the API, we'll revisit building a tool to sync your in-game cal with your site cal.

Is there not a way of creating an addon, or incorporating it into one of your current addons, so that instead of trying to get it from the Armories/API, you're actually just taking it from one person in-game? Even if it then requires a copy/paste of a data string like the Raid Tracker?
The reason you wouldn't be able to access the data from the API is that, in order to access it, you need to be logged in as a guild member to see guild events.

Judging by this forum thread the Blizz development team is aware of the WoW communities desire to export Cal info from in game. Shortly after I started at Gamer Launch I remember Rothalak playing with the idea of creating an add-on. I'll find why it was shelved.

Thank you :-)
I seem to remember this coming up before, but I can't remember why it didn't get any further. I vaguely remember the calendar addon I use (which is unfortunately no longer supported by the original author, but is still just about limping along) mentioning the ability to export the Blizzard calendar in-game in an iCal format .. which then should be easily imported elsewhere. I'll check when I get online next. It might be one of those things that just isn't currently possible, since the changes Blizzard made a while back to the calendar.
