Feature request: Timezone parameter for Google Calendar

Permalink Browser Info Environment
We're using this addon to display a Google calendar that was added via the "Add By URL" feature. For whatever reason, the timezone is UTC, despite the source ICS having timezones explicitly defined.

Having a feature to specify a timezone (even if it's a free-form field where I can type "Country/City" timezone identifiers, or getting the Tz from the C5 installation) would be amazing.

Thoughts on this?

To add some more information to this:

The "add by URL" calendar appearing as UTC is an issue I've raised with Google directly (https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/calendar/3HLMGPtyGGU/KJm0i-4sAgAJ), so I'm aware that ultimately it's their issue, but I'd still like to request a way to set the timezone manually from the Event Calendar addon.

I can't change date from Google API. It is not depend on me.

So if Google Calendar doesn't have this option, my calendar doesn't have option too.

So after some research, it looks like this add-on is built on top ofhttp://fullcalendar.io/ which has an option for timezones. I was able to change view.php so that the timezone is passed just before the googleCalendarApiKey parameter

// ... other code from view.php above here ..
$("#dsEventCalendar<?php echo $blockIdentifier; ?>").fullCalendar({timezone:"Australia/Melbourne",googleCalendarApiKey:"<?php echo $api; ?>"
// ... remaining code from view..php below here ..


Doing this passes the timezone to Google Calendar API, which displays our calendar correctly. So it can be done, but just not by changing the calendar API call.

Hope this helps you out.
