...Netherlands... I have started using rails a few weeks ago, I did read the Agile Webdevelopment with Rails book, and I generally started to love Rails for it''s sheer beauty and intelligent structure... However I came across something that puzzles me quite a bit. It''s how to add a time_zone_select form field using a composed_of class with mapped utc_offset and name fields... In my form I have: <%= time_zone_select(''user'',''time_zone'') %> In my user-class I have: composed_of :time_zone, :class_name => ''TimeZone'', :mapping =>...

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 => "Pacific Time (US & Canada)") When usi...

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 user with an optional timezone, becomes quite a challenge. That''s why I created this patch: http://dev.rubyonrails.or...

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...

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 whe...

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 named places? thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-f...

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...

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'', ''time_zone'',TZInfo::Timezone.us_zones, :model => TZInfo::Timezone, :default => "America/Chicago" )%> I can display US zones in “...

...what I mean: We want to be able to access the user''s timezone attribute as a TZInfo::Timezone object instance so that we can say things like: @current_user.tz.utc_to_local(some_date_time_object) But whenever I used the standard aggregation shown in examples on this topic, the drop down time_zone_select for TZInfo doesn''t recognize the user''s previous selection! So I got around that like thus: i. created a string field on the user model called time_zone ii. added an accessor tz that will give us the object support def tz TZInfo::Timezone.get(self.time_zone) end iii. a...

How to use ''time_zone_select'' and get the returned value as offset, not a string. 0 instead of ''London'', 1 instead of Brussels, and -1 instead of azores. I have tried using my own hash with ''select''. But hashes are not sorted so the output is a mess. If it''s not possib...

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 version of the time zone value as selected. For example, if the user created an event...

Hello everyone I wonder if anyone can point me to the library for timezone management with DST support, which has timezones, like flickr has. I know that there is TZInfo, but it''s a bit different for it has huge list of available timezones in ''Continent/City'' format. I would like my application to have timezones list more like on flickr (or windows regional settings) -

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
