I've run into the following issue: My app has multiple users from multiple timezones. In the majority of cases, I want datetime columns to take into account the user's timezone. This works fine.
However, for *one* particular datetime field, I want users to enter the arrival date & time of a flight that is arriving into a country in a different timezone to the user's timezone. Hence I don't want any timezone conversion done on this particular field. e.g. a user in Germany enters the data for a flight that will arrive in New Zealand on January 1st at 2:00pm. When a different user views this data, I want it to say 2:00pm, regardless of the user's timezone. I don't see that the datetime_select helper allows me to specify a timezone for the time I am selecting; but anyway, I don't want the user to have to enter a timezone. I suppose the easiest (only?) solution is to store the data in separate date and time fields in the database, and use separate date_select and time_select helpers. Any comments? Should this functionality be something that datetimes / datetime_select should support?
