So as Maricio is pointing out, Rails stores the time in UTC format by default, but you can set it to display the time in the preferred zone format. For example, I am in the eastern time zone and would like my application to display time in EST. To do that, use the following setting in RAILS_ROOT/config/environment.rb file:
# Make Time.zone default to the specified zone, and make Active Record store time values # in the database in UTC, and return them converted to the specified local zone. # Run "rake -D time" for a list of tasks for finding time zone names. config.time_zone = "Eastern Time (US & Canada)" To see other time zones available and how to represent them in time zone string as shown above, please lookup the Rails documenation. Hope this helps. Bharat --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
