I downloaded version 0.3.12 of TZInfo from [1], and observed that it has a very robust set of timezones including, for example, ''America/ Anchorage'': irb(main):001:0> require ''rubygems'' => false irb(main):002:0> require ''tzinfo'' => true irb(main):003:0> TZInfo::Timez...

...en restart the server, I get the following error unless I restart my web browser (or delete session files): Session contains objects whose class definition isn''t available. Remember to require the classes for all objects kept in the session. (Original exception: uninitialized constant TZInfo [NameError]) I know what the problem is. Rails hasn''t loaded "TZInfo::Timezone" class definition yet so it doesn''t know how to handle "TZInfo::Timezone" object stored in the session. If an ActiveRecord model is saved in the session, using "model&q...

Maybe someone here can help me out. I''ve unpacked tzinfo in to my vendor/ directory using "gem unpack tzinfo" and got a vendor/tzinfo-0.1.1 directory as a result. How can I require this gem in my app? I''m trying to use a require line in my environment.rb but no matter what I do Rails seems to look for a locally installed copy in /...

hey, i have a record in the database gtm_zone with value ''Europe/London'' i want to have a select box with all the zones and the corrected selected @firm.gmt_zone = Europe/London TimeZone from ruby (trying to expand with TZinfo) dont want to select Europe/London, and not sorted <select id="firm_gmt_zone" name="firm[gmt_zone]"> <%= time_zone_options_for_select(selected = @firm.gmt_zone, priority_time_zones = nil, model = TZInfo::Timezone) %><br /> </select> the selectlist 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 can see that the mapping I''m looking for is present in the tzinfo_timezone plugin, but I cannot see how to access it. Anyone? Thanks. Morten PS: I''m aware that I could use <%=time_z...

...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 ... composed_of :time_zone, :class_name => TimeZone, :mapping => %w(time_zone name) end There also seems to be a TZInfo library that supports daylight savings. It seems strange that the TimeZone class in rails doesn''t support daylight savings as Basecamp from 37Signals uses timezones and I''m sure they would have to support it... interesting. Can anyone shed some light on this. :) Thanks, Zack --...

Hey everyone - I googled till my face was blue and finally managed to update my setup at dreamhost to run "local" gems. Installed the tzinfo gem from a mirror and updated my app to Rails edge. I fired up the console in my app to check if my subsequent install of tzinfo worked out and here''s the output. $ ruby script/console Loading development environment. >> gem ''tzinfo'' => true >> include TZ...

Hi, I''ve been trying to do timezone conversion, and have some trouble getting it to work on my Windows machine. Searching the web, I found http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoSetDefaultTimeZone ...which explains how to set the default timezone. I''m using an environment.rb that include the lines: ActiveRecord::Base.default_timezone = :utc ENV[''TZ''] =

I''ve just upgraded rails to 1.2 and now everything breaks when accessing pages that use tzinfo. I get the following errors: uninitialized constant FriendController::Timezone c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:477:in `const_missing'' #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/controllers/friend_controller.rb:22:in `index'' Can someone please tell m...

...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 original URL that is linked to from the TZInfo page: http://web.archive.org/web/20060425190845/http://lunchroom.lunchboxsoftware.com/pages/tzinfo_rails I''m not looking to pull of anything fancy here, but I''ve ended up a bit of a stumper in which utc_to_local appears to be adjusting the UTC- stored time twice. This is what I...

My interest in icalendar is more on the ical generation side instead of the ical parsing side. As such, I did a bit of work on a tzinfo mixin that will generate the timezone rules based on the tzinfo gem. This lets you do the following: estart = DateTime.new(2008, 12, 29, 8, 0, 0) eend = DateTime.new(2008, 12, 29, 11, 0, 0) tstring = "America/Chicago" tz = TZInfo::Timezone.get(tstring) cal = Calendar.new # generate ti...

I am upgrading a Rails 1.2.6 app to Rails 2.1.0 that had used tzinfo gem to manage time zones. Time zone support is built into Rails 2.1.0 and is based on the tzinfo gem. However, it is slightly different (I do not know how slightly) and causes a time based test to fail that passes in Rails 2.0.2 (since it did not have Time Zone support, it uses the tzinfo gem and...

Hi. I get the following error off and on in my app. I''m running latest EdgeRails in development mode, and use the tzinfo_timezone plugin and the tzinfo 0.3.3 gem. I''ve checked line 210 in tzinfo_timezone.rb but cannot relate that to an object modification in tzinfo. Any tips much appreciated.

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, do...

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&...

Hi, I am just starting to work with tzinfo, and I need to figure out how US states map to tzinfo time zones, or in other words what time zone(s) each US state is in. If anybody has already collected this data and would be willing to share it (and thus save me a couple of hours of work) that would be highly appreciated! Thanks! Ingo -...

...ince it *is* a UTC value? I can get the correct value by extracting the "Time" with no zone, and then recreating a new TimeWithZone. But that can''t be the best way!

...e'', TimeZone.us_zones, :default => "Pacific Time (US & Canada)") When using this code I get "uninitialized constant ActionView::CompiledTemplates::TimeZone". The first thing I noticed was that TimeZone is camel cased. This seems confusing to me considering TZInfo::Timezone is proper cased. I tried using proper cased Timezone and continued to get the same error. Next, I tried using TZInfo::Timezone, this worked. time_zone_select( "user", ''time_zone'', TZInfo::Timezone.us_zones, :default => "Pacific Time (US & Canad...

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) - shorter and grouped by cities with same DST conditions. Any experience...
