How to set default value or timezone? #808

Open rexsalescatalysts opened 9 years ago

rexsalescatalysts commented 9 years ago

hi, I am trying to display the time text in datetimepicker as timezone related. First method that I have tried is to set timezone in datetimepicker({timezone: +60}), but it seems not working. Then I tried to set the default value directly by datetimepicker({defaultValue: '2015-05-06 01:00:00'}), it is not working as well. I would like to ask about the correct steps or syntax to set timezone or default value. Thank you.

Hi @rexsalescatalysts !

I've struggled with this issue for a few days digging into the docs without success. As a workaround, we used the dumbiest solution as you can imagine: just simply set the default value as jQuery('#textInputId').val('2015-05-06 01:00:00 +0600') (or your desired timezone) after datetimepicker initialization.

Hope this works for someone else. Cheers.

Pretty old issue but I'll include the solution to help future readers.

You can use "timezone" key while initializing the datetimepicker as follows 

$('#blah').datetimepicker({
    timezone: -240
});
