Question

I added a time_zone_select field to my User signup form and added a column (:tz) to my User table.

     <td>Select Timezone</td><td><%= f.time_zone_select :tz %></td>

However, it is not saving to the database with any value… i.e. if I call

     <%= current_user.tz %> nothing is displayed. 

Any ideas on this one? Probably a simple solution like assigning values to the time zones, but I’m not sure where to begin.

Thanks in advance.

Check that you have added :tz to your attr_accessible method at the top of whatever model you added the tz column too.
