Setting default setting for all jQuery-UI datepicker instances

I am using jQuery-UI Datepicker (via ZendX view helper) to select dates. Now I would like to set default settings (setDefaults) which sets default setting for all Datepicker instances.

This is how my form looks like:

<form method="post" action="/hello/world">
  <?php

                                        'defaultDate' =>date('Y m d',time()),
                                        'showWeek' => 'true',
                                        'firstDay' => 1,
                                        'dateFormat' => 'dd.mm.yy',
                                        'changeYear' => 'true',
                                        'changeMonth' => 'true'
                                        ));

    echo $this->datePicker("dp2",'',array());
  ?>
    <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

Does someone know how to set this when using Zend Framework?

Thanks, Udo

You could extend the DataPicker View Helper class (or what ever it is called) and create your own constructor. Then use that custom class...
