Thanks for the replies.
The solution I've come up with for now is to use the javascript that
determines the timezone to store the timezone in a cookie using the
onload event. I then read it back out of the cookie in Rails with a
before_filter on application_controller.rb.
I'm not convinced its the best solution as obviously not everyone
turns cookies on, hmmm...
detect_timezone.js :
jstz.set_timezone_in_cookie = function () {
var tz_info = jstz.determine_timezone();
document.cookie="timezone =" + tz_info.timezone.olson_tz;
}
application_controller.rb :
before_filter :set_timezone
def set_timezone
Time.zone = request.cookies["timezone"]
end
Any thoughts? Many thanks.
