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

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

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

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 ...

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

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!

To anyone who can help: I have two brief questions concerning sapply. Following below is the code for my example. The two problems are described at the end of the code: site <- rep(2:6, each = 12) tillage <- rep(c(1,-1), each = 6, times = 5) carbon <- c(18.23, 16.06, 17.81, 16.07, 17.26, 17.08, 14.92, 15.88, 12.11, 14.23, 16.99, 13.57, 20.34, 20.3,

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

Is anyone else here from Alaska interested in a ruby users group to meet in Anchorage once a month? It might be a long shot but I thought i''d put the possibility of such a group out there if others are interested. If so, we''ll coordinate some times that work.

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

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.
