actionmailer

I want to keep track of all triggered emails by the application into a db table, so that i can have a log which emails are sent and to whom. Kindly suggest me the best possible solution. I have solved this using the following way: created a class in lib directory class MyProjectMailLogger def self.delivering_email(message) @to = message.to.to_s @subject = message.subject.to_s @message = message.body.to_s EmailQueue.create!(:receipient_email => @to, :subject => @subject, :message => @message, :email_status_id => 3) end end In config/initalizers/setup_mail.rb ActionMailer::Base.register

I want to have emails I send out with ActionMailer contain images that link back to my app. In my development environment, for example: <img src="http://myfullappurl.dev/assets/myimage.png"> I have this in my development.rb config.action_controller.asset_host = 'myfullappurl.dev' config.action_mailer.asset_host = config.action_controller.asset_host config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: 'myfullappurl.dev', only_path: false } But I can not get my mail templates to render a full URL in any of these way: asset_path('myimage.png') asset_path('myimage.png', only_path: false) image_url(

I'm trying to do a conditional render of a different template from ActionMailer (Rails 3.1.1). I want most users to get the normal welcome.html.erb template, but some users to get the special welcome_photographer.html.erb template. This type of thing works in ActionController: # (in /app/mailers/user_mailer.rb) def welcome(user) @user = user mail(:to => "#{@user.name} <#{@user.email}>", :subject => "Welcome to ...") render "welcome_photographer" if @user.is_photographer end But the render doesn't work -- everyone gets the standard welcome.html.erb even if @user.is_photographer == true Sean

My ruby on rails action mailer runs all good in development environment, but in production environment, it keeps throw: ActionView::Template::Error: Missing host to link to! Please provide the :host parameter, set default_url_options[:host], or set :only_path to true My development config is config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = { :port => xxx, :address => 'smtp.example.org', :user_name => 'xxx@example.com', :password => 'xxxxxxxx', :domain => 'xxxxxx.com', :authentication => :plain, } config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'localhost

I am developing a Rails 4 application which involves sending / receiving emails. For example, I send emails during user registration, user comment, and other events in the app. I have created all emails using the action mailer , and I used rspec and shoulda for testing. I need to test if the mails are received correctly to the proper users. I don't know how to test the behavior. Please show me how to test an ActionMailer using shoulda and rspec . CDub How to test ActionMailer with RSpec works for Rails 3 and 4 this information has been taken from a good tutorial Assuming the following Notifier

I'm currently testing my mailers with RSpec, but I've started setting up multipart emails as described in the Rails Guides here: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/action_mailer_basics.html#sending-multipart-emails I have both mailer templates in text and html formats, but it looks like my tests are only checking the HTML portion. Is there a way to check the text template separately? Is it only checking the HTML view because it's first in the default order? To supplement, nilmethod's excellent answer, you can clean up your specs by testing both text and html versions using a shared example group:
