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

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. 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

I want to store, retrieve and handle all times inside my app in just one Timezone. => "New Delhi" for that I''ve set in my application.rb file, config.time_zone = "New Delhi" When i create a record like Event.create(:when => DateTime.new(2011, 5, 7, 16, 0, 0)) it creates an event record in my mysql db (local) with "when" field as "2011-05-07

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 am sure this is doable but I can''t find a specific example and my brain is frazzled. Basically, I am doing a whole load of in-place editing and need methods to support the updates. Here is what I am doing now: def set_blog_website faq = Faq.find(params[:id]) faq.blog_website = params[:value] faq.save! @faq = faq do_ret end Surely there is a generic way I can

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

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 =>

Greetings, Sounds like a simple thing to do, but I was not able to do it on these particular phones. Snom wiki was not helpful. My client wants to keep his phones pointed to UTC time, no DST, no change in timezone, i.e. to stay at 0 hours difference. The phones are provisioned from a tftp server. If I remove 'dst' value from the provisioning file, on bootup phones force users to pickup

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, 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, I''ve installed Ruby 1.8.4 via Darwinports, installed gem 0.8.11 too and then installed Rails via gem. I''m using OS X 10.3.9. When I now type rails in the terminal, the following lines appear: # rails /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.5/lib/ active_support/values/time_zone.rb:12: undefined method `attr_reamer'' for TimeZone:Class

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'') =>

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

Is it possible to get timezone abbreviations using the TimeZone or TzinfoTimezone classes? Even after converting UTC to localtime it still reports the timezone abbreviation as UTC. Example: >> @tz = TzinfoTimezone.us_zones[2] => #<TzinfoTimezone:0x30868a0 @utc_offset=-28800, @name="Pacific Time (US & Canada)"> >> @tz.now => Wed Jan 24 12:36:56 UTC 2007

I have an email that is sent from either a rake task or from a user action. When it is sent from the user action it gets delivered as nicely formatted html.

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

In my thought utc_offset function in src/lib/utc-offset.c returns wrong offset value when the year in localtime and GMT different. /* max offset of 24 hours */ if (ltm.tm_yday < gtm.tm_yday) offset = -24 * 60; else if (ltm.tm_yday > gtm.tm_yday) offset = 24 * 60; else offset = 0; I think this code should be modified as followings. /* max offset of 24 hours */ if ((ltm.tm_year ==
