    <p>I'm just about in the finishing stages of my website, however I am having trouble with the ActionMailer. It prints out the message just fine, I'm just eager to know how to wire it so it can send to gmail account. I'm primary confused how to route it and configure it properly. I have a contact page that has a model that takes parameters like the recipient, subject, message and the time it was sent: <strong>Mailer model:</strong> <em>Note all this code is on a local machine</em></p> <pre><code>class UserEmail &lt; ActionMailer::Base default from: 'XXX@gmail.com' def contact(sender, subject, message, sent_at = Time.now) @sender = sender @message = message @sent_at = sent_at.strftime("%B %e, %Y at %H:%M") mail(:subject =&gt; subject) end end </code></pre> <p>Here's the <strong>about</strong> controller which the <strong>contact</strong> methods lie in: </p> <pre><code>class AboutController &lt; ApplicationController # ...\controllers\home_controller.rb #---------------------------------------------------- # show contact form def contact @title = "Contact" @sender = '' @subject = '' @message = '' end def sendmail @sender = params[:sender] @subject = params[:subject] @message = params[:message] if validate(@sender, @subject, @message) UserEmail.contact(@sender, @subject, @message).deliver flash[:success] = "Your message sent sucessfully!" redirect_to about_index_path else flash.now[:error] = "Your message did not send" redirect_to about_index_path end end private def validate(sender, subject, message) @email_regex = /\A[\w+\-.]+@[a-z\d\-.]+\.[a-z]+\z/i if sender.blank? || subject.blank? || message.blank? @error = "Message not sent: Required information not filled" return false elsif subject.length &gt;= 50 @error = "Message not sent: Subject must be smaller than 50 characters" return false elsif sender[@email_regex].nil? @error = "Message not sent: Email not valid" return false else return true end end end </code></pre> <p>Now this is where I am <strong><em>lost</em></strong>. Here's what my route like to the mailer. Is this routed appropriately?: </p> <pre><code> match '/contact_email', :to =&gt; 'about#sendmail' </code></pre> <p>When I configure the mailer, does the code rest in the application.rb or the development.rb? Here's what I have in my <strong>application.rb</strong>:</p> <pre><code>config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = { :address =&gt; "smtp.gmail.com", :port =&gt; 587, :user_name =&gt; 'XXX@gmail.com', :password =&gt; 'XXX', :authentication =&gt; 'plain', :enable_starttls_auto =&gt; true, } </code></pre> <p>Thanks in advance! </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
