Zoned

This plugin is the simplest way to add local times to your app.

Usage:

1. Call the javascript function Timezone.set() to set a timezone cookie

   eg: Hook it into the authentication system

   Logging in: <% form_for @login, { :html => { :onsubmit => "Timezone.set()" } %>

   Logging out: cookies.delete(:timezone)

   eg: Initialize it automatically

   window.onload = Timezone.set

2. Use it: <%= z(@post.created_at).strtime("%D") %>

If cookies[:timezone] is set it will convert the time to the user's local time, otherwise it will do nothing.

You don't need to have AR save your time in UTC, the plugin will determine your server's offset and adjust accordingly.
