Action Mailer Problem, please help

Rails
1

Hi I should be missing something really basic to not get this right…

  1. I need to get the name of the user and some custom text in the
    subject field in the mailer
  2. I need to get the name of the website instead of the full email
    address in the from field.

Here is my method in the invitation_mailer.rb:

def invitation(email, invitation, sent_at = Time.now)
@subject = invitation.user.name
@body[:invitation] = invitation.title, invitation.comments
@body[:user] = invitation.user.name
@recipients = email
@from = ‘[email protected]’
@sent_on = sent_at
end

This method just gives the sender’s name in the subject field, now I
need the subject field to be like this:

“Linda invites you to join her on MYOWNTRIBE”

and the From filed to be like this: “MYOWNTRIBE”

Could anyone please guide me…

Cheers

This is really basic ruby - you’ll run into trouble if you don’t know
stuff like this
The #{} construct allows this sort of stuff, ie

message = ‘Hello’
puts “The message is #{message}”
will print The message is Hello
