Hi In my application I have a mail sending part in which a user get mail with a link to activate his account. What I am currently doing is as a part of test I created a staging environment And in config/environments/staging.rb I write like config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => "Ip_address_here" } It is working fine And the user get a mail with content say to click http://192.168.0.12/activate/token Now a problem I find is suppose if have to test the same application in another server in another location I have to edit the above to match the IP address of that machine And one more problem is if it is hosted in a public IP a user belong to that network get a mail like say Click http://72.x.x.x/actiavate/token to activate. But it may not work from that network. So agin I have to edit and change it My question: Is this the standard way ?.Please advise me the correct approach to do this. Or Can I use ActionController::Request class for this Thanks in advance Tom -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Re: config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => }
Use a url. :host => "localhost:3000" or :host => "mywebsite.com" Dieter Lunn http://www.coder2000.ca On Tue, Mar 9, 2010 at 11:44 PM, Tom Mac <lists-fsXkhYbjdPsEEoCn2XhGlw@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Hi > In my application I have a mail sending part in which a user get mail > with a link to activate his account.

Hi Dieter Your answer, if I undersood correctly is to specify like config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => "localhost:3000" } in enviroment. This is what I do now. But my question is how to make it dynamic. Means some thing like config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => request.host_with_port() } And also only at a single place to make it DRY Tom -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
