Changing the time zone in Arshaw FullCalendar

Question

In my opinion, Arshaw FullCalendar displays events according to the time zone of the local computer operating system. I assume this is done by the javascript Date () object, which is also based on the local computer operating system. I have an application that has group calendars and a group’s time zone, I want each local Arshaw calendar to be displayed in accordance with this group’s time zone, no matter what time zone this computer is. How do you do this?

Note. I looked through the documentation carefully enough and did not find such an option. I hope javascript has something that matches php date_default_timezone_set (), which I think can be resolved.

* Edit 1/31/2013 12:23 PM CST: I send everything to the calendar as unix timestamps, so I assume that the ignoreTimezone option is not applicable here, as described in this stackoverflow: jQuery FullCalendar time zone synchronization

You should probably try to set the parameter "ignoreTimezone" to "false" and specify the FullSalendar Arshaw date in ISO8601.

You can get more information about this here: http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/docs/event_data/ignoreTimezone/

To convert unix timestamps to ISO8601, you can use this in javascript:

var d = new Date(1360412434000).toISOString(); 

This is ECMAScript 5. See here for compatibility and backup code: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/toISOString
