I''m still struggling with my first RoR application, and have now encountered yet another problem I have no idea how to solve. I would like to have a contact form where people can write e-mails to me directly from my site. I can do this with php, but have no clue whatsoever on how to do it with RoR. I tried searching for it, but RoR is really lacking tutorials and example code, I feel. I''m guessing it might have something to do with ActionMailer, but I''m not sure on how to do it. The concept is simple; a few input fields where the sender specifies subject, body and maybe even his own e-mail, clicks a button and the e-mail is sent to my address (which I''ve specified somewhere behind the scenes). Is this possible - and if so, how? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I could probably work out how to get the field entries to serve as different variables in ActionMailer, but how would I call the function with the button click? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
