Question

Someone know how to change the filename of the liferay calendar event before export?
The default one is "liferay.ics".
Thanks

You can alter the name by writting an hook.
Override the export_import.jspf file located at %liferay_folder%\%your_server%\webapps\ROOT\html\portlet\calendar
<aui:fieldset label="export">
<aui:input cssClass="lfr-input-text-container" label="" name="exportFileName" type="text" value="liferay.ics" />
</aui:fieldset>
Changing the value attribute should do the trick.
Owk after looking a bit closer to the calendar portlet it appears that my above solution is only visible on the export/import tab and not when you export an event from the summary tab.
The endpoint who is responsible for creating the file: http://www.jarvana.com/jarvana/view/com/liferay/portal/portal-impl/6.1.0/portal-impl-6.1.0-sources.jar!/com/liferay/portlet/calendar/action/ExportEventsAction.java?format=ok
It appears that when no portlet parameter with the name exportFileName is set the action will automaticly name it liferay.ics:
Short And Easy fix:
Add (in event_action.jsp):
<portlet:param name="exportFileName" value="<%= event.getTitle() %>" />
to :
<c:if test="<%= CalEventPermission.contains(permissionChecker, event, ActionKeys.VIEW) %>">
<portlet:actionURL windowState="<%= LiferayWindowState.EXCLUSIVE.toString() %>" var="exportURL">
<portlet:param name="struts_action" value="/calendar/export_events" />
<portlet:param name="redirect" value="<%= currentURL %>" />
<portlet:param name="eventId" value="<%= String.valueOf(event.getEventId()) %>" />
</portlet:actionURL>
<liferay-ui:icon
image="export"
url='<%= exportURL %>'
/>
</c:if>
Write an wrapper arround the ExportEventsAction. (For more Advance senarios)
Use this method when more advance operations are required in the future.

Wrapper basic concepts:
In your hook xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE hook PUBLIC "-//Liferay//DTD Hook 6.1.0//EN" "http://www.liferay.com/dtd/liferay-hook_6_1_0.dtd">
<hook>
<custom-jsp-dir>/WEB-INF/jsps/</custom-jsp-dir>
<struts-action>
<struts-action-path>/calendar/export_events</struts-action-path>
<struts-action-impl>aiao.liferay.strutsactions.ExportEventActionWrapper</struts-action-impl>
</struts-action>
</hook>
Your wrapper looks like this:
public class ExportEventActionWrapper extends BaseStrutsPortletAction {
#Override
public void processAction(StrutsPortletAction originalStrutsPortletAction, PortletConfig portletConfig, ActionRequest actionRequest, ActionResponse actionResponse) throws Exception {
_logger.info("Call To Wrapper");
//do your magic here...
originalStrutsPortletAction.processAction(portletConfig, actionRequest, actionResponse);
}
private Log _logger = LogFactoryUtil.getLog(ExportEventActionWrapper.class);
}
