How to generate urls for ActionMailer emails
November 13th, 2007
This is a little bit tricky, but I've found an solution in the comments from other article on this problem.
First we need to set default_url_options for ActionMailer::Base. This can be done with before_filter method in ApplicationController
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base before_filter :set_default_url_options_for_mailers def set_default_url_options_for_mailers ActionMailer::Base.default_url_options[:host] = request.host_with_port end end |

def email_confirmation(user) recipients user.email from "example.com <no-reply@example.com>" subject "Confirm your email address" content_type "text/html" body :user => user, :activation_page => url_for(:controller => "main", :action => 'activate', :only_path => false) end |
