Layout in Email

Rails
1

Hello All:

I want to apply a layout to all the mails going from my application.
I created a layout tempalte file named mail.rhtml in the ‘layout’
directory.
Now where should i specify the layout details to incorporate them in
mail and how?

TIA,

Priya S.

Hi Priya
In the controller you have to specify at the top like “layout “mail””

Dear Abhi:

Thanks for ur reply…
I tried it … bt didnt work… I mean the mail was all the same…
Also writing it on top of the controller will apply this to all the
actions. but i want it just for a specific action…

Priya

Abhi:

Different layouts is not the need… What i need is… Applying the
layout should be reflected in the sent mail…
I know how to apply layouts in general… but now i want it specific to
‘send mail’ action.

in the action say
render :layout => ‘mail_layout’

Hi Bala:

Writing layout => ‘main_layout’, :except => ‘your_action’ in controller
returns syntax error… plz send the corrected statement.

Thanks
