Alfresco calendar in Hijri format

I want to customize Alfresco calendar in Hijri format. for example 23/January/2013 should be 4/10/1391. As I know, Alfresco uses YUI as general calendar ,fullcalendar+jquery and dojo.
I want to add a javascript file to html header and some changes in js codes (maybe change the new Date() object and then render calendars) but i find Alfresco structure a bit confusing.
Any help is appreciated.

Hello,

I'm afraid that the library that Alfresco's calendar functionality is built on top of (FullCalendar) does not support non-Gregorian calendars and nor does the YUI Date picker we use - which will make it tricky to customise Alfresco to support them. Alfresco's support is limited to localising the display names of the months & days and the date/time formats.

If you were to embark on this project, you would need to start off by finding alternative widgets, with Hijri support, to replace the date picker & calendar with. Then you'll need to perform some fairly in depth customisations to swap out those widgets so you'll need to be familiar with the customisation techniques that Dave Draper details on his blog: blogs.alfresco.com/wp/ddraper/

I hope that helps a little.
David.
