after reading Rick''s blog about tztime plugin: http://activereload.net/2007/4/13/dealing-with-timezones It seems that you should be able to set TzTime object to a datetime field, which will automatically converts it to UTC before saving, right? However it doesn''t seem to work for me. setting TzTime to a datetime field doesn''t even save it to the database. @something.posted_at = TzTime.parse(''2006-1-1 9pm'') @something.save @something.reload @something.posted_at # => nil the actual value of posted_at in database is 0000-00-00 00:00:00 (mysql default value for nil datetime) Also, tz_time_attributes throws exception that acts_like? is not defined. BTW, I''m using rails 1.2.3. Does this feature need rails edge?
