The environment.rb file in a Rails 2.3.2 app says: > Set Time.zone default to the specified zone and make Active Record > auto-convert to this zone.
Auto-convert to this zone... when? Also, what are the differences between these two statements? config.time_zone = xxx config.active_record.default_timezone = xxx I ask these questions because I have a scenario whereby an AR-backed object, when issued the "published_at" method yields a date like "Tue Jul 28 17:04:58 UTC 2009". However, when *finding* the object, e.g. Object.first, I get what looks like a UTC date: "2009-07-28 17:07:11". (That is, when you find an object in console it shows you all its attributes, and it is in there that I have what I think is a UTC date.) So... what's the deal? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
