I\'m trying to do a conditional render of a different template from ActionMailer (Rails 3.1.1). I want most users to get the normal welcome.html.erb
template, but s
You shouldn't try to do anything after you call mail()
. However, to choose another template, you should pass :template_name
as an option. For example:
template = @user.is_photographer ? "welcome_photographer" : "welcome"
mail(:to => "#{@user.name} <#{@user.email}>",
:subject => "Welcome to ...",
:template_name => template)
The solution from Sean Hill doesn't work for me (Rails 3.2+). template_name
seems to be ignored. What worked for me is something like this:
mail(:to => "#{@user.name} <#{@user.email}>", :subject => "Welcome to ...") do |format|
format.html { render 'templatename' }
end
Funny in rails 3.2.14 This does NOT work for me:
mail(:to => "#{@user.name} <#{@user.email}>", :subject => "Welcome to ...") do |format|
format.html { render 'templatename' }
end
However this does:
mail(:to => "#{@user.name} <#{@user.email}>",
:subject => "Welcome to ...",
:template_name => template)
