Hi.

I think you should use cron and `script/runner’.

2012/7/20 honey ruby [email protected]:

write the following code in development.rb

config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = false

config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:tls => true,
:enable_starttls_auto => true,
:address => ‘smtp.gmail.com’,
:port => 587,
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => ‘[email protected]’,
:password => ‘password’
}

in emailer model write the following code:

class Emailer < ActionMailer::Base

def contact(recipient, subject, message, sent_at = Time.now, files=[])
@subject = subject
@recipients = recipient
@from = ‘[email protected]
@sent_on = sent_at
@body[“title”] = ‘This is title’
@body[“email”] = ‘[email protected]
@body[“message”] = message
@headers = {}

files.each do |file|
attachment “application/octet-stream” do |a|
a.body = file.read
a.filename = file.original_filename
end unless file.blank?
end

end
end

create one view and follow the code:

Send Email

<% form_for(:emailer, @emailer, :url=>{:action=>'sendmail'}, :html=>{:multipart=>true}) do |f| %> <%= f.error_messages %>

Subject: <%= text_field 'email', 'subject' %>

Recipient: <%= text_field 'email', 'recipient' %>

Message
<%= text_area 'email', 'message' %>

Upload
<%= file_field 'email', 'file' %>

<%= submit_tag "Send" %> <% end %>

write the code in the controller:

class EmailerController < ApplicationController
def index

end
def sendmail

@uploaded_files = []
email = params[“email”]
puts email[“file”]
@uploaded_files << email[“file”]
recipient = email[“recipient”]
subject = email[“subject”]
message = email[“message”]
Emailer.deliver_contact(recipient, subject, message,
@uploaded_files)
return if request.xhr?
@email = recipient
@subject = subject
@message = message
render :file => ‘app\views\emailer\contact.rhtml’
end

end
