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

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 ...

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 , 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'',

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

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

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

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

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''] =

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 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

Here is the following from my console: >> Time.now => Mon Sep 22 11:33:34 +0200 2008 >> Time.now.utc_offset => 7200 >> TimeZone[Time.now.utc_offset] => #<TimeZone:0x11aea90 @tzinfo=nil, @utc_offset=7200, @name="Athens"> >> Time.now.in_time_zone(TimeZone[Time.now.utc_offset]) => Mon, 22 Sep 2008 12:34:22 EEST +03:00 (I am in Spain - CET - and

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'') =>

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 =

Hi all, I''m on a rails 2.3.5 app. I''ve got my timezone set to ''Brussels''; config.time_zone = ''Brussels'' When I use mysql I see that a date is stored in UTC (as expected); e.g. 2010-04-07 15:03:10 When I use console to print out the date it correctly returns; >> job.created_at.strftime(''%d %b %Y, %H:%M'') =>

I''m in the process of upgrading my existing Rails 2.3.8 app to Rails 3.0.3. One problem that I have encountered is how to make rails 3 read/write date/time data into the DB in localtime. In Rails 2.3.8, commenting out the ActiveRecord timezone settings did the trick, however in Rails 3, that doesn''t work as the default is now UTC. I have tried setting the config.time_zone to
