In the controller, you are basically in "ruby-land". So use the params hash just as you've used the flash hash:
params[:model_id] UserMailer.deliver_removeRequest(params[:model_id]) This assume that your usermailer method is expecting the first parameter to be the model id itself and not the actual model object. You can pass the full object to it by using activerecord: UserMailer.deliver_removeRequest(Model.find_by_id(params[:model_id]) Hope this sheds some light on your issue. Best of luck. p.s. "this" is a hobo convention. In Ruby, the current object is "self" On Tue, Jun 29, 2010 at 10:34 AM, Pete <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Brilliant, I thought there must be a way of doing something > similar.... > > I now have my button as you suggested > > <%= button_to "Remove This Model", { :action => "remove", :model_id => > "#{this.id}" }, :confirm > => "Are you sure?" %> > > and I'm guessing that this id is now passed to my action - which leads > to my next issue... > > def remove > UserMailer.deliver_removeRequest(this) > redirect_to "/" > flash[:notice] = "We have been notified of your request.
