Handling time zones ever since Rails 2.1 should be invisible to the developer. You might want to check out
http://railscasts.com/episodes/106-time-zones-in-rails-2-1 I tested your case in a recently generated app in Heroku (default config.time_zone in environment.rb is 'UTC'). I've generated a User scaffold (the migration had timestamps by default). I created a user. Even if I use distance_of_time_in_words(@user.created_at), the displayed time is correct (1 minute ago, 7 minutes ago, and so on). Even after changing the time zone in environment.rb to 'Fiji', it's still displayed correctly. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Heroku" group.
