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 = “[email protected]”
@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:
Dear <%= @first_name %> <%= @last_name %>,We have successfully received your payment of $<%= @amount %>. Your
new
account balance is:
$<%= @current_account_balance %>
Transaction id: <%= transaction)id %>
Please save this email receipt for your records.
