Ruby on Rails

Hi Edu,

The way ActionMailer worked in 2.3 is quite different from the way it works now in 3.2 and 4.*. There are some older apps that you can look at pre-2.3 that had modles that used ActionMailer built in. ActionMailer did not change much between 2.1 and 2.3. The links that I will be providing in this example is from an app that is 2.1 but, when upgraded, will run under 2.3 with no changes to the model code for ActionMailer. The application is coded for ruby 1.8.7.

First you would want to setup your Model like by inheriting from ActionMailer. Then specify as methods each of the mail actions you wanted to take. 

Model: https://github.com/insoshi/insoshi/blob/master/app/models/person_mailer.rb

Views: https://github.com/insoshi/insoshi/blob/master/app/views/person_mailer/blog_comment_notification.html.erb

           https://github.com/insoshi/insoshi/blob/master/app/views/person_mailer/connection_request.html.erb

           https://github.com/insoshi/insoshi/blob/master/app/views/person_mailer/email_verification.html.erb

You'll also need to make sure you ActionMailer preferences are setup. This app did it by specifying them in an initializer because it pulled information from a database as to what should be specified for smtp. 

Initializer: https://github.com/insoshi/insoshi/blob/master/config/initializers/email_settings.rb

Let us know how it goes. If you have any questions I will do my best to help answer them. Rails 2.3 was awhile ago so I'm a little rusty.

Thanks,

Bryan
