Hi,

I am using login\_engine REL\_1.0.3 and user\_engine REL\_1.0.2 on Rails  
1.1.2. I have been unable to send email using the UserNotify  
controller. The config for LoginEngine has been set to  
use\_email\_notification=true.

I know that the ActiveMailer configuration is correct, because I can  
use the same configuration in another application without engines and  
emails are sent. I tried two seperate ones and they both work.

I set config.action\_mailer.raise\_delivery\_errors = true, but did not  
see errors in the logs.

Any ideas what to try next?

- Rick

Am I in the wrong forum for this question? I am kinda stumped and I am  
looking for a clue for a way to resolve this.

Make sure perform\_deliveries is true (default is true, just trying to  
help  
🙂

config.action\_mailer.perform\_deliveries = true

It seems working after i deleted all the override content in the  
action\_mailer\_extensions.rb, remain only this:

# Overriding ActionMailer to teach it about Engines…

module ActionMailer  
end

but i think it is not the best approach to solve the problem, just  
narrow down the scope that something happened in the  
action\_mailer\_extension.rb code

I am also encountering this problem, and i 've tried to add the line  
above to the config/environment.rb under module LoginEngine, seems it  
still can’t help~

i ran my apps from script/console, Errors are like this;

```
?> MemberNotify.deliver_signup(Member.new, "", "")
ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)
        from (eval):3:in `initialize_template_class'
        from (eval):3:in `render_message'
        from 

```

./script/…/config/…/config/…/vendor/plugins/engines/lib/engines/action\_mailer\_extensions.rb:59:in  
`create!' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionmailer-1.2.5/lib/action_mailer/base.rb:331:in `initialize’  
from  
/usr/local/lib/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:21:in `new' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionmailer-1.2.5/lib/action_mailer/base.rb:291:in `method\_missing’  
from (irb):3

and i d

and then i digged into the action\_mailer\_extensions.rb, line 59 and find  
the error is from the following line:

```
   @body = render_message(@template, @body) if template_exists

```

i wonder if it is something related to the @body, but i have no way to  
figure it out~ and i 've been searching on the web for 2 days with no  
obvious solution!!

helps really appreciated~
