similar to: Introduction & time_zone_select with mapped TimeZone question

I sent this earlier but I don''t think it ever came through. Sorry if this is a reposting. When using :priority_zones for time_zone_select in a manner described by the API docs for ActionView::Helpers::FormOptionsHelper I''m getting errors. Here is an API docs example: time_zone_select( "user", ''time_zone'', TimeZone.us_zones, :default =>

Friends, So there I was, minding my own business, trying to make my rails app timezone aware (DST, as well), since it''s all about the timing with this one. There are a number of excellent articles that I''ve been working off of, in particular this one internet archived version of Scott Barron''s very useful article on the subject that is no longer available at the

Hi, I am using the tzinfo gem and plugins to manage time zone support in my app. In one of the views I have the following select <%= time_zone_select ''user'', ''time_zone'', TZInfo::Timezone.all.sort, :model => TZInfo::Timezone %> This produces a list of all possible countries, does anyone know of a way to only display the UTC + / - options and not the

When using :priority_zones for time_zone_select in a manner described by the API docs for ActionView::Helpers::FormOptionsHelper I''m getting errors.

Hi. Using this: <%= time_zone_select("account", "time_zone" %> I get a list of time zones options, like eg.: <option value="Athens">(GMT+02:00) Athens</option> But as I''m using TZInfo::Timezone, I need to map ''Athens'' to ''Europe/Athens'' I can see that the mapping I''m looking for is

My environment.rb contains config.time_zone = ''UTC'' If my understanding is correct, rails should assume time values coming from the database are UTC, and since config.time_zone is set to ''UTC'', it should not try to convert the times. Instead, rails is assuming that the db values are Eastern (my local zone) and is incorrectly adding four hours to convert to

Hello, Using rails 2.3.9 and ruby 1.8.7 I am trying add time zone in the site according to user''s time zone (selected by the user from the drop down of time zones)Code is done as follows, but time zone is not getting saved in the database. IN Application Controller before_filter :set_time_zone def set_time_zone Time.zone = current_user.time_zone if current_user end IN View

Here is the following from my console: >> Time.now => Mon Sep 22 11:33:34 +0200 2008 >> Time.now.utc_offset => 7200 >> TimeZone[Time.now.utc_offset] => #<TimeZone:0x11aea90 @tzinfo=nil, @utc_offset=7200, @name="Athens"> >> Time.now.in_time_zone(TimeZone[Time.now.utc_offset]) => Mon, 22 Sep 2008 12:34:22 EEST +03:00 (I am in Spain - CET - and

There''s got to be an easier way... I am building an event manager and as part of it, the user selects the time zone of the event from a drop-down list using the time_zone_select helper. This is stored in the events table as a string. Because of legacy data which is stored in UTC, I want to keep the dates and times in the table as UTC but when I display it, I want to show the abbreviated

As we all know it, Time Zones are a pain in the neck. Rails make things easier by providing some nice helpers. However, I recently faced a challenge when trying to pre select a time zone for a user. Using the time_zone_select helper, there''s simply no way you can pre select a timezone for a user unless you already saved the time zone in his/her record. Creating a new user or editing a

Hi , Is there anyway I can display time in “US-Central” or “US-Eastern” format instead of “ America-New york” or “ Europe-Athens” format at the top of drop down list using Tzinfo . I am presently using “time_zone_select” which displays US zones on top of drop down in “ America-New york” format . <%= time_zone_select (''profile'',

I am using time_zone_select for the first time: <%= time_zone_select(''user'', ''default_timezone'') %> I have an instance variable called user and that model has an attribute called ''default_timezone''. The list displays and when I submit the form, I see it sends the data: Parameters:

I am using time_zone_select for the first time: <%= form.time_zone_select(''default_timezone'') %> I have an instance variable called user and that model has an attribute called ''default_timezone''. This is all inside a nice form_form construct. The list of time zones displays and when I submit the form, I see it sends the data: Parameters:

Greetings, Sounds like a simple thing to do, but I was not able to do it on these particular phones. Snom wiki was not helpful. My client wants to keep his phones pointed to UTC time, no DST, no change in timezone, i.e. to stay at 0 hours difference. The phones are provisioned from a tftp server. If I remove 'dst' value from the provisioning file, on bootup phones force users to pickup

Does anyone know the best way to track time zone information. There doesn''t seem to be much documentation on this. So far it seems like a simple db field like create table accounts ( id int unsigned not null auto_increment, name varchar(50) not null, time_zone varchar(50) not null, ... primary key (id) ) and a class like class Account < AR ...

In my thought utc_offset function in src/lib/utc-offset.c returns wrong offset value when the year in localtime and GMT different. /* max offset of 24 hours */ if (ltm.tm_yday < gtm.tm_yday) offset = -24 * 60; else if (ltm.tm_yday > gtm.tm_yday) offset = 24 * 60; else offset = 0; I think this code should be modified as followings. /* max offset of 24 hours */ if ((ltm.tm_year ==

Quick question I have can easily create a nice time zone select with <%= time_zone_select("account", "time_zone", TimeZone.us_zones ) %> How can I select the default time zone that I want? Thanks, Zack

I''m not sure I''m understanding this correctly. I have a user model that is for all of my user accounts. Each user account has a time zone. I added this line to automatically create a TimeZone object for that user using their timezone: composed_of :tz, :class_name => ''TimeZone'', :mapping => %w(time_zone name) I also changed my environment.rb to
