One of the most common problem, people who use WiZiQ Live Class for Moodle face is that the WiZiQ Virtual Classroom defaults to GMT +13 for all classes and all classes are scheduled in that time zone.
One of the simplest fix suggested by one of our teachers, Bryce lists these simple steps:
1) Open up the session.php file from the wiziq module [download] and go to line 33;
2) Look for $tmzone=$USER->timezone;
3) Change it to $timezone=$USER->timezone;
4) Save and upload the updated file
How to set your timezone in Moodle [so that it reflects while scheduling a class]:
Under "Location Settings", the administrator would need to select these specific values in the fields. For In Default timezone you must select the Server's local time option and In Force Default timezones, the administrator must select Users can choose their own timezone. Please note that these settings can only be done by the Moodle Administrator/ System Administrator.
Now individual users can go to Edit Profile link and select their specific time zone [time zone in which they are located or wish to showcase their classes in]. For instance, in the image below UTC-5 has been selected. After selecting this time zone, these settings should be saved.
Once you [teacher] changes as specified above, you would be able to schedule web conferencing classes for your time zone [as selected in your edit profile settings].
