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

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''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

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 ...

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'') =>

Hello, I''m a bit stuck with where to put some method calls (separation of responsibility) and although I''m trying to do it just simply now in the models, I think my problem raises a bigger question about Fat Models. But that''s another subject for another day. Right now, I have .... Event has_many meetings ## has an a invitation_expiry date field. def

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

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]"> <%=

Look at your 1.day.from_now and see if it''s like this: Sun, 12 Oct 2008 02:45:42 UTC +00:00 If you also have the "UTC +00:00", it means that you timezone is the GMT (and I think that it isn''t your real timezone). For example, my timezone is 3 hours after the GMT, so the right timezone would be something like this: Sat Oct 11 23:48:41 -0300 2008 At your

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

I''m not sure I''m understanding this correctly. I have a user model that is for all of my user accounts. Each user account has a time zone. I added this line to automatically create a TimeZone object for that user using their timezone: composed_of :tz, :class_name => ''TimeZone'', :mapping => %w(time_zone name) I also changed my environment.rb to

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 =>

Hello everyone, I am using rails 3.2.8. I want to change time zone to New York time. I changed following, but didn''t work #config/application.rb config.time_zone = ''Eastern Time (US & Canada)'' config.active_record.default_timezone = ''Eastern Time (US & Canada)'' If am wrong please clarify. Thank You! -- You received this message

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

Where and how do I setup the timezone in such a way that when I perform Time.new I get the ''New Delhi'' time and not ''NY time''. The created_on time gets populated automatically, it should be as per ''New Delhi time'' too. Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

This is a follow-up to the thread ending with: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/vpim-talk/2008/000120.html I too am in search of some ruby parser for icalendar which properly handles timezones on the datetimes in the icalendar RFC. As I understand it there are actually three types of times. 1) UTC times with a string form of yyyymmddThhmmssZ note the trailing Z indicates zulu time aka utc. 2)

I''m working with an app for a concert tour website (www.yogabbagabbalive.com), where all times (announcement times, on-sale start times, and event start times) are local to each particular venue''s time zone. I take the user entered date/time where applicable and run a before_filter to set the appropriate time zone so that everything is stored in the database in UTC. For 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
