How to do the attachment in mail like the yahoo and gmail does?

<% form_tag(depot_help_desk_path, :method => :post, :multipart =>
true) do %>

Helpdesk formulier
1. Ik werk met de volgende browser: <%= radio_button "helpdesk", "browser", "Internet Explorer" %>Internet Explorer
<%= radio_button "helpdesk", "browser", "Safari" %>Safari
<%= radio_button "helpdesk", "browser", "Mozilla Firefox" %>Mozilla Firefox

  <div style="width: 300 px;">2. Ik werk met de volgende computer:</

div>
<%= radio_button “helpdesk”, “os”, “windows” %>Windows

<%= radio_button “helpdesk”, “os”, “mac” %>Mac

<%= radio_button “helpdesk”, “os”, “linux” %>Linux

  <div style="width: 300 px;">3. Mijn gebruikersnaam is:</div>
  <label id="label_right"><%= text_field 'helpdesk',

‘user_name’, :class => “txtfield”, :size => 20 %>

  <div style="width: 300 px;">4. Mijn e-mail adres is:</div>
  <label id="label_right"><%= text_field 'helpdesk',

‘email’, :class => “txtfield”, :size => 20 %>

  <div style="width: 400 px;">5. Het probleem is op de volgende

datum opgetreden:


<%= text_field ‘helpdesk’, ‘datum’, :class
=> “txtfield”, :size => 20 %>

  <div style="width: 300 px;">6. De URL waar het probleem zich

voordoet is:


<%= text_field ‘helpdesk’, ‘url’, :class
=> “txtfield”, :size => 20 %>

  <div style="width: 300 px;">7. Bestand toevoegen:</div>
  <%= file_field 'helpdesk', 'file', :class => "txtfield", :size =>

20 %>

  <div style="width: 300 px;">8. Het originele bestand heb ik

bijgevoegd:
<%= radio_button “helpdesk”, “bestand”, “ja” %>ja

<%= radio_button “helpdesk”, “bestand”, “nee” %>nee

  <div style="width: 550 px;">9. Graag zo volledig mogelijk

omschrijven (stapsgewijs) wat het probleem / je vraag is.
<%= text_area ‘helpdesk’, ‘text’, :cols =>
“70”, :rows => 20 %>

  <div style="width: 550 px;">Hartelijk dank voor het invullen van

bovenstaand formulier. Klik op versturen en wij streven ernaar binnen
5 werkdagen te reageren.

  <div><%= submit_tag "versturen", :onClick => "", :id => 'disable-

me’ %>

<% end %>

def ticket_with_attachment(browser, os, email, user_name, datum,
url, file, bestand, text, sent_at = Time.now )
@subject = 'Helpdesk verzoek: ’ + user_name
@body = { :browser => browser, :os => os, :user_name =>
user_name, :email => email, :datum => datum, :url => url, :bestand =>
bestand, :text => text }
@recipients = “[email protected]”
@from = “[email protected]”
@sent_on = sent_at
unless file.blank?
attachment :body => file.read, :filename =>
file.original_filename
end
end

That’s working code from one of our apps. Not very nice looking, but
should do.
Important parts are the file_field in the form (all others are just
text or radio buttons)
and those lines in the ActionMailer delivery method:

unless file.blank?
attachment :body => file.read, :filename => file.original_filename
end

which will attach the file to the mail

Thank you Muller I will try it and let you know the oucome.

I read your code and do something like this in my actionmailer class
def contact(recipient, subject, message,user_id,attachment1=nil,
sent_at = Time.now)
@body[‘user_id’]= user_id

  @subject = subject
  @recipients = recipient
  @from = '[email protected]'
  @sent_on = sent_at
@body["title"] = 'You have new Job Application'
   @body["message"] = message
  unless attachment1.nil?
   attachment "application/octet-stream" do |a|
    a.body=attachment1.read
    a.filename=attachment1.original_filename
   end
  end
   attachment :content_type=>"image/jpeg",
     :body=>File.read("#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/images/

afterpinkslip.jpg"),
:filename=>File.basename("#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/images/
afterpinkslip.jpg")
end

and it works beautifully. Thank you once again.
