similar to: Best way to handle different time zones?

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''] =

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 have the following library code: def normal_time_now return DateTime.now.utc if default_timezone == :utc return DateTime.now end This is dependent upon a setting in config/environment.rb # Make Active Record use UTC-base instead of local time config.active_record.default_timezone = :utc I want to test that I get the expected results with the config set to utc and

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, 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

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?

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'') =>

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]"> <%=

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''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

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

In config/environment.rb are these statements equivalent? config.default_timezone = :utc config.time_zone = "UTC" If not, then how do they differ in effect? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

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, 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!

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.

Hello all. I am a novice Ruby on Rails programmer, starting my first project using a legacy Oracle 10 database. Using ''reverse_scaffold'' I have created the models/controllers/views for my existing Oracle tables. All seems to work well, using /model/index, /model/show for most of my tables, *except* when one of the tables contains a Oracle ''date'' column, for

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) -
