.... 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 using this code I get "uninitialized constant ActionView::CompiledTemplates::TimeZone".

Is it possible to get timezone abbreviations using the TimeZone or TzinfoTimezone classes? Even after converting UTC to localtime it still reports the timezone abbreviation as UTC. Example: >> @tz = TzinfoTimezone.us_zones[2] => #<TzinfoTimezone:0x30868a0 @utc_offset=-28800, @name="Pacific Time (US & Canada)"> >> @tz.now => Wed Jan 24 12:36:56 UTC 2007 >> @tz.now.strftime("%Z") => "UTC" It seems to me that the timezone abbreviation (%Z) should be "PS...

MySQL has the equivalent as the following: "US/Eastern" Obviously we could write some name mapping thingy or munge the names in MySQL...
