Rails - Jan 2006 - Change email template for Salted Hash Login Generator?

There are a couple of things I''m trying to do with the salted hash
login
generator.

First off I am trying to change the email template to include some other 
things such as links to the site, instructions and other email goodness.

Second I am trying to find where the gem is pulling the app_url from 
because I changed it to reference my host name, but I have not been able 
to get it to use that - it keeps showing http://localhost:3000.

I''m still working on figuring out a bunch of stuff with SHLG but I at
least know these...

1 - The generator creates an ActionMailer subclass in a user_notify.rb file in
models and
a bunch of rhtml templates in views/user_notify.

2 - It also creates a user_environment.rb file (in config/environments) with a
UserSystem
module and this has a bunch of configuration.

If you specified a different model name for your User (I did
"Member"), substitute that
name above accordingly.

Thanks a bunch Ben. Found what I was looking for.

The only thing I still can''t figure out is where the 
http://locahost:3000/ keeps coming from. It seems to simply be ignoring 
the value set in userEnvironment.rb which is set to

    # Sent in emails to users
    :app_url => ''http://www.mysite.com/'',


It seems to just take the base URL of whereever the server happens to be 
running. Not sure what''s up with that.

  def signup(user, password, url=nil)
    setup_email(user)

    # Email header info
    @subject += "Welcome to #{UserSystem::CONFIG[:app_name]}!"

    # Email body substitutions
    @body["name"] = "#{user.firstname} #{user.lastname}"
    @body["login"] = user.login
    @body["password"] = password
    @body["url"] = url || UserSystem::CONFIG[:app_url].to_s
    @body["app_name"] = UserSystem::CONFIG[:app_name].to_s
  end

That block suggested that the url in the body would be replaced with 
what''s in UserSystem::CONFIG. Is there some other url that is being 
created somewhere else that I need to find out how to change?
