similar to: require tzinfo on rails 1.2

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'') =>

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]"> <%=

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

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 =

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 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

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. ActionView::TemplateError (can''t modify frozen object) on line #29 of

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'',

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 /usr/local/ instead. Any advice?

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!

Hi everyone, If I save some object in session and then 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

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

Hello List, Label me a newb, but how do you install Rails 3 on your Mac? Google sent me to these URLs: http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2010/2/5/rails-3-0-beta-release/ http://guides.rails.info/3_0_release_notes.html http://asciicasts.com/episodes/200-rails-3-beta-and-rvm From early Feb 2010 I see this short recipe: gem install tzinfo builder memcache-client rack rack-test rack-mount erubis mail

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 =>

My environment.rb contains config.time_zone = ''UTC'' If my understanding is correct, rails should assume time values coming from the database are UTC, and since config.time_zone is set to ''UTC'', it should not try to convert the times. Instead, rails is assuming that the db values are Eastern (my local zone) and is incorrectly adding four hours to convert to

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) -

Hello Guys, Is there any way that we can turn off DayLight saving in rails app? Rails uses tzinfo gem for converting time in zones but it does not handle it correctly for some timezone.

Hi. FreeMIS is about ready for a first release as a Ruby-on-Rails based application. I''m beginning to realise that there''s a lot of stuff to be installed before you can get even a WEBrick served version up and running: MySql, Ruby, ruby-mysql bindings, rubygems, rails, and a couple more gems - raspell (which needs aspell) and tzinfo. I''m trying to figure out the
