Hello I am trying to set the timezone on event level when writing out in icalendar format. I saw that there was some discussion in january 2006 about this issue, but I could not figure out what the correct syntax is. Does it go on the Calendar event entry level or does each calendar event have to be of the same timezone I would be gratefull if a piece of code that works would be sent to show how the passing of timezones is realized. a) @cal=icalendar::new :timezone =>"Europe/Copenhagen b) event.start = Date.Now :timezone =>"Europe/Copenhagen I would prefer a solution with option b) Thanx Roland -- "Feel free" - 10 GB Mailbox, 100 FreeSMS/Monat ...

Well, I think you just about got it. The calendar_test.rb unit test has
an example of this, which goes like so inside an event definition:
event.dtend "19970903T190000Z", {:TZID =>
"Europe/Copenhagen"}
That will set the timezone property parameter for that single property.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Jeff

Hello Jeff,
I integrated as shown with 2 differentt trials
#event.end = ende.strftime("%Y%m%dT%H%M%SZ"), {:TZID =>
"Europe/Copenhagen"}
event.dtend = "20060917T19300Z", {:TZID =>
"Europe/Copenhagen"}
.. and got this error response :
"undefined method `to_ical'' for
{:TZID=>"Europe/Copenhagen"}:Hash"
Here is some Version Information:
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/icalendar-0.97/
Any clues?
I tried to debug with breakpoint. There I managed to passe the parameters but
once I tried to render the calendar with to_ical I got the
same error.
Thanx Roland

I have the exact same problem - I really don''t get how to set the timezone for my calendar or the events. Greetings, Gitte Wange
Hello Gitte
Your Syntax
event.end = ende.strftime("%Y%m%dT%H%M%SZ"), {:TZID =>
"Europe/
Copenhagen"}
looks ok.
Did you ensure that
require ''icalendar''
require ''date''
is in your controller?

I can easily create Date objects without the require Greetings, Gitte
I am not sure. My controller has these require lines ( I assume I read it in some blog).. In anycase, it works for me. roland Am 06.12.2006 um 09:34 schrieb Gitte Wange:> > On 06/12/2006, at 7.49, roland wrote: > >> Hello Gitte >> Your Syntax >> event.end = ende.strftime("%Y%m%dT%H%M%SZ"), {:TZID => "Europe/ >> Copenhagen"} >> looks ok. >> >> Did you ensure that >> require ''icalendar'' >> require ''date'' >> >> is in your controller? > > Do I need to require the date module? > I can easily create Date objects without the require > > Greetings, > Gitte > > _______________________________________________ > icalendar-devel mailing list > icalendar-devel at rubyforge.org > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/icalendar-devel
