similar to: time_zone_select helper enhancement

I''m new to this list, I''m a student in History, Computerscience and a bit of Philosophy from the 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

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 =>

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

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

Friends, So there I was, minding my own business, trying to make my rails app timezone aware (DST, as well), since it''s all 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

Hi I noticed that if in my code I use the following: Photo.update_all("title = ''Ruby rocks'' ", "id IN (#{@photo_ids})") All my objects are properly updated but none of the filters/callbacks are triggered. Is that what''s expected? I have a before_update filter set on the Photo class and it gets totally ignored, I guess the only way to solve this

Hi, I''ve been looking for a light weight alternative to rails for a few small projects, and just came across merb, which looks perfect. The only issue is that merb seems to be tied to mongrel, and I have to deploy to our internal infrastructure which uses FastCGI. How difficult would it be for me to modify merb to support a fcgi interface (actually a rack interface - rack is

If you use ActiveRecord::Base.connection.create_database you''ll notice that by default the created db will use latin1 encoding. I created a plugin to handle different charset and collations (on top of helping you with other boring DB tasks). You can check out the early version of the plugin svn checkout svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/raketasks/db_tasks (I really need to move my projects out

Hello, Using rails 2.3.9 and ruby 1.8.7 I am trying add time zone in the site according to user''s time zone (selected by the user from the drop down of time zones)Code is done as follows, but time zone is not getting saved in the database. IN Application Controller before_filter :set_time_zone def set_time_zone Time.zone = current_user.time_zone if current_user end IN View

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 data: Parameters:

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 when I submit the form, I see it sends the data: Parameters:

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

Hi, As I am not a big fan of mailing list, I have created a Yahoo!Pipes to generate a RSS from the user & developpers mailing list and integrated it into a netvibes tab. I have also put a few blogs from the rspec authors. More

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'',

Ezra, * test harness in new generated merb apps with helpers for testing merb without starting a server. * pin down plugin arch Seems to me that these two tasks go together unless you want to have rspec built in Merb. Regarding the test harness, my understanding is that: - a developer should be able to easily write specs against a merb application. - a developer should not need to start a merb

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) -

I'm in the process of building a home file server and am of course going to use Linux 2.4 (2.4.6 for now...). I'm waffling between resierfs and ext3. I've read the ext3 page and some of the mailing list archives but have a few questions remaining. (I apologize in advance if they are redundant.) Are there any known issues with: - LVM - LVM snapshots (more on that in a sec) -
