Hi, I tried installing the tzinfo\_timezone plugin (and the tzinfo gem) in my rails 2.1 application. Now calls to date\_select fail with: wrong number of arguments (3 for 2). Removing the tzinfo\_timezone plugin fixes everything, but then, of course, I’m left without DST support. The first part of the application trace follows: /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/active\_support/ core\_ext/time/zones.rb:63:in `initialize' /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/active_support/ core_ext/time/zones.rb:63:in`create’ /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/active\_support/ core\_ext/time/zones.rb:63:in `get_zone' /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/active_support/ core_ext/time/zones.rb:81:in`send!’ /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/active\_support/ core\_ext/time/zones.rb:81:in `in_time_zone' /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/active_support/ values/time_zone.rb:253:in`now’ /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/active\_support/ core\_ext/time/zones.rb:51:in `current' /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.1.0/lib/action_view/helpers/ date_helper.rb:678:in`default\_time\_from\_options’ /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.1.0/lib/action\_view/helpers/ date\_helper.rb:618:in `date_or_time_select' /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.1.0/lib/action_view/helpers/ date_helper.rb:602:in`to\_date\_select\_tag\_without\_error\_wrapping’ /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.1.0/lib/action\_view/helpers/ active\_record\_helper.rb:239:in `to_date_select_tag' /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.1.0/lib/action_view/helpers/ date_helper.rb:156:in`date\_select’ /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.1.0/lib/action\_view/helpers/ date\_helper.rb:699:in `date_select' app/views/participants/_edit_profile.html.erb:73:in`\_run\_erb\_47app47views47participants47\_edit\_profile46html46erb’ /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.1.0/lib/action\_view/helpers/ form\_helper.rb:317:in `fields_for' /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.1.0/lib/action_view/helpers/ form_helper.rb:253:in`form\_for’ app/views/participants/\_edit\_profile.html.erb:3:in `\_run\_erb\_47app47views47participants47\_edit\_profile46html46erb’ Cheers, Ricky ---

Fred, you’re everywhere, man! And, yes, you’re spot on… > Could this be conflicting with the timezone stuff in rails 2.1 ? The problem is that there is no problem. Apparently Rails 2.1 already handles daylight savings properly (tzinfo gem is already bundled), and using tzinfo\_timezone just screws things up: [Mad Mimi Email Marketing](http://mad.ly/2008/04/09/rails-21-time-zone-support-an-overview/).
