Put this in the environment.rb file(I use the google smtp server so I
had to install the action_mailer_tls plugin):
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = false
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.default_content_type = "text/html"
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host =>
"domainname.com" }
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:tls => true,
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:domain => "domainname.com",
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => "username",
:password => "password"
}
Here is a snip from new_question_message.html.erb I have:
Question from..: <%= @question.name %><br />
Email..........: <%= @question.email %><br />
<% if @question.phonenumber -%>
Phonenumber....: <%= @question.phonenumber %><br />
<% end -%>
Subject........: <%= @question.subject %><br />
=========================================<br />
<%= @question.description %><br />
Then when I send this I have to pass the object:
mail = CustomerMailer.create_new_question_message(@question)
CustomerMailer.deliver(mail)
customer_mailer is not a controller its a actionmailer and it lives in
the /app/models directory
When you use the ruby script/generate mailer customermailer command it
creates that for you.
So the steps would be:
- Create the mailer with generate mailer
- Add a mailer action like welcome_message
- Setup your environment.rb with the correct smtp setup
- add the deliver action to your action in your controller (Imprtant
is to use CustomerMailer.create_ <- )
That should be all you need.
If you don't want to wait for the email to be sent (Sometimes the app
waits a second or 3 to send an email which does not make for a snappy
interface) Watch this http://railscasts.com/episodes/128-starling-and-workling
Starling and Workling works great to offload the email delivery.
