Hello! Is there an easy way to get a time in a particular time zone without calling Time.zone = some_zone ?
I store events in UTC in the DB, and I also store a string representation of the time zone as an attribute on the event. What works is to do: Time.zone = event.time_zone start_time = event.start.in_time_zone # and now I have the start time in the appropriate time zone The problem, however, is that Time.zone = event.time_zone sets it across the whole application, as best as I can tell. And I don't want that!! I could grab the Time.zone value, change it as above, then change it back, but that's so ugly. What would be wonderful is if there was something like: start_time = event.start.in_time_zone(event.time_zone) *sigh* Anything like that? Any advice? This isn't an issue with a user's local time zone, but rather just trying to show a PST time as 8am PST and an EST time as 11am EST even if both are stored as 15:00:00 (in UTC) Thoughts? -Danimal --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
