Hi,
I followed the directions to a ''T'' from the following website:
http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowToSendEmailsWithActionMailer
However, the script is dying because it says that the <%= first_name %>
value in my notifier view is nil.
here is my code:
Controller code (abridged):
def signup
userid = @session[:user].id
@user = User.find(userid)
@bill = Billing.find(userid)
@transaction = MyTransaction.new
## ....save some stuff to both billing and transaction ....
if ((@bill.save) && (@transaction.save))
Notifier::deliver_transaction_receipt_email(@user, @bill, @transaction)
end
end
Notifier model code:
def transaction_receipt_email( user, bill, transaction )
# Email header info MUST be added here
@recipients = user.email
@from = "billing@mywebsite.com"
@subject = "Thank you for your payment"
# Email body substitutions go here
@body["first_name"] = user.first_name
@body["last_name"] = user.last_name
@body["transaction_id"] = transaction.id
@body["amount"] = transaction.amount
@body["account_balance"] = bill.current_account_balance
end
View Code:
<html>
<body>
Dear <%= @first_name %> <%= @last_name %>,
<p>We have successfully received your payment of $<%= @amount %>.
Your
new
account balance is:<br>
<b>$<%= @current_account_balance %></b><br><br>
Transaction id: <%= transaction)id %><br>
<p>Please save this email receipt for your records.
</html>
</body>
