Hello!
I have made a common class and put it to the /lib folder of my Rails
application.
Now I have some problems with access to:
1. Mailers
Call to SupportMailer.send_activation_email gives an error:
NoMethodError (undefined method `send_activation_email'' for
SupportMailer:Class):
Ok, I have changed my SupportMailer class - give a prefix to the
function
function send_activation_email -> function self.send_activation_email
But in this case the Mailer doesn''t see other models and gives an
error:
NoMethodError (You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!
You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.[]=):
/app/models/support_mailer.rb:14:in `send_activation_email''
How can I access mailers?
2. Functions from application.rb
I have added a function (send_sms) to the ApplicationController, but
how can I access it from common class in /lib folder?
I have tried:
send_sms
ApplicationController::send_sms
But in both cases I have got NoMethodError
How can I access this global function?
I''m lost in all the dependencies and don''t know where to place
global
functions and classes and how to connect from them to another parts of
the application....

Typically your mailer method would be called activation_email (and it must be an instance method - not a class method) Rails then magically lets you do SupportMailer.deliver_activation_email / SupportMailer.create_activation_email> How can I access mailers? > > 2.

How can I do that if I put it outside the controller (for example, into a separate class in a /lib folder)? Other answers are really helpful, thank you :) Actually I still cannot force my Mailer to work, it reports about "undefined method `activation_email''", although this method exists and is an instance (not class) method.... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

It should be SupportMailer.deliver_activation_email.
