How do I get a time zone dropdown in the edit view?

[Justin Schier]

I'm trying to have a select input for time zone in the edit screen in one of my models.

I know rails has a built-in time_zone_select form input helper, but how do I use it in rails_admin? I've searched the docs high and low and can't find anything. There's a reference to using partials, but I can't find examples of how to do that anywhere.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Justin

I would simply use enum.

You can pass a hash of options.

Otherwise you'll need to change the :partial option https://github.com/sferik/rails_admin/blob/master/lib/rails_admin/config/fields/types/string.rb#L36 to :cutom_smtg and create a partial at the right location (it will yell it).

Get the inspiration from here https://github.com/sferik/rails_admin/blob/master/app/views/rails_admin/main/_form_enumeration.html.haml
