[TYPO3] simple calendar time zone confusion

[Katja Lampela]

Okay I try to live with the fact that these two things I can't reach 
simultaneously:
1. right time of the event record in FE (though all the time data in BE 
looks alright)
2. the proper current date of the calendar.

The main thing is ofcourse that the events show right time. Well, the 
calendar then thinks it is tomorrow already. And this results in a very 
much unwanted situation that today's events don't show at all (not nice!)

So what I try to do now is at least the following: I want to show in the 
list view also "yesterday's" events which are in fact today's events but 
the calendar thinks it is now tomorrow so they are yesterday's events in 
calendar's twisted reason.

But because of the lack of documentation I don't find where I could (if 
I could) define what is displayed in list view; like "from yesterday to 
the future".

I found the options for the code for example: 
list/c:1/l:3/o:1/r:1-1-2004,31-12-2004/d:5
(category,location,organizer,month,year,range,daysahead)
And d:-1 doesn't help of course.

In the main class file there is at least this one place where the 
date/time is handled:
------------------------------------------------------------------
         // DATE MANIPULATIONS
         $GDate = t3lib_div::GPvar('date');

         if( isset( $GDate ) )   {
             list($month,$year) = explode("-",$GDate);
         }     else      {
             $month = 
($this->selectParams['month'])?$this->selectParams['month']:date("m");
             $year  = 
($this->selectParams['year'])?$this->selectParams['year']:date("Y");
         }

         $date_string = mktime(0,0,0,$month,1,$year);
         $day_start = date("w",$date_string);  //The number of the 1st 
day of the month
------------------------------------------------------------------

but unfortunately I'm just starting my php learning and I don't 
understand what i should do..

So - any kind soul out there, please write me a hint, even if it was 
just a vague idea..
