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. 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

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'',

Bom dia a todos. Estou desenvovendo uma app e estou tentando o seguinte mas sem sucesso: No meu modelo de email (closed.erb) que é um email para informar que o ticket foi fechado tenho um ticket_url: <%= ticket_url :host => @host, :id => @ticket.id %> Mas não consigo fazer com que o @ticket.id me retorne na url o ticket em questão. Por exemplo digamos que o ticket 10 foi alterado e

Does anyone know the best way to track time zone information. There doesn''t seem to be much documentation on this. So far it seems like a simple db field like create table accounts ( id int 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 ...

Hey guys, This is the final list of the new maintainers of each plugin. We need two more things to do: First please the owners of the repos add the rest of the maintainers. Second I will add a note on each rails/plugin mentioning this repos updates. So from now on, if someone else is interested in helping/contributing please send a message to the appropriate repo owner. verification

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!

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

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 the test works). If there is

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]"> <%=

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

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::Timezone.get(''America/Anchorage'') =>

Hi all I''m still waiting on my Agile Rails book to arrive - in the meantime ... As an exercise I''m making a Help Desk application. If I have a Problems table with two foreign keys to a People table, how do I set up my models, problems_controller list method, and then simply display say my problem submitter person? Here is what I have so far: Problems table with columns: id

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 =

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) -

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''] =

Hi there, I have a *really* weird issue with rspec on rails: Given a time meridian formatted using %p When I run `rake spec` the time meridian is converted to lower case: expected: "Today 08:00 PM", got: "Today 08:00 pm" Yet when I run `rake spec:models` and `spec -cfs app/models` the specs pass, ie the the time meridian is in upper case. Anyone got any ideas how I

Occasionally we need to run scripts (such as from cron) that have access to the rails environment. Since we''ve upgraded to 1.1 (I believe it coincides with that), all of our scripts seem to run as unit tests. An example (obviously useless), which would be store in the script directory: ------BEGIN CODE---------------------------- RAILS_ENV = ''development'' require
