You need to specify the model parameter to make
time_zone_options_for_select work with TZInfo:

<%= time_zone_options_for_select(current_user.time_zone, nil,
TZInfo::Timezone) %>

The second parameter is actually a list of priority zones rather than
the complete list, so does not need to be specified.

The above code will give you a list of all the timezones, but probably
not in the format you want. You may want to take a look at the Rails
TzinfoTimezone and TzTime plugins to see if they do what you need.

Phil
