Hello, I am running into a little issue. There is a considerable time difference between the time that the console is giving me and the time I am seeing in the created_at and updated_at column in the DB. The difference is about 5 hours. I don''t think the problem is in the DB, but I could be wrong. Am I missing something obvious? Any clues? -- You received this message because you are

I''ve got a javascript that provides me with the timezone for the client. I want to use this to set Time.zone so that all my times stored in the database are displayed in the timezone for the client. So really simplistically var timezone = jstz.determine_timezone().timezone Time.zone = timezone.olson_tz obviously this can''t be done. I''ve taken a look on the web and can

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 everyone- Model.update_all works and changes the records, but it''s not changing the updated_at field. Am I doing something wrong or is this by design?

Hi, I allow posting videos to youtube in my app. But before I let them save into the DB I want to, at least, know that the users put a link to youtube and that the link is working. How can I do those verifications with open-uri? Tried but got some errors...

Hi there, I''m fairly new to RoR, and I seem to be having a problem with :time types. I save my times with a time_select on my form, to a time type field on MySQL. Rails automatically pulls it back to UTC from my timezone (+02:00), but when I display it again, it stays at the UTC value, i.e. I enter in 6:30, and I get 4:30 on my list. Is it just me, or is this a limitation of the time

Hi, Am I the only one (i.e. something I do is wrong), or does the touch- method always update updated_at, even though giving it a column to use INSTEAD is meant to update just that column??? Thanks, Michael

Hi, I know I am missing something very big regarding the changes with respect to activerecord in Rails 3. I can''t find the explanation. And I''m sure someone will kick my ass for not finding the right piece of info in the docs and guides. Please do. I have a working piece of code but I don''t like it. So. Very basic association: class Project < ActiveRecord::Base

Using, for example, <%= javascript_include_tag ''prototype'' %> results in <script src="/javascripts/prototype.js?1164912447" type="text/javascript"></script> I take it the number 1164912447 is the timestamp of the file (in seconds since the epoch) Isn''t it redundant to include this information? Isn''t part of the HTTP

I''ve noticed that the major part of my pages'' load time is the Javascript for prototype and effects. Instead of forcing a reload per request (by attaching the ?timestamp parameter), I''d like to force reload this per release. Right now, I load the CSS and JS manually (without the Rails helpers) and just append a release number manually. It''s OK, but when I

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

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 Is there any way to temporarily stop the updated_at field from being updated when a record is modified with ActiveRecord? I have a date field which is keeping track of when the record data was last checked by my application and my app manually updates it, of course when I do this the updated_at field is also touched making it fairly useless for finding out when the actual data was changed

Hello, I have here an issue which is really critical for me (it for my university work and I would like to not delete this feature). It based on a Rails 1.x tutorial which I use now under Rails 2.x.

Hi, would anyone have any advices on the next? I allow users to upload images to my app. I''m using attachment_fu and MiniMagick.
