    <p>This should be simple fix, but I've been unable to find an answer. Can anyone point me in the right direction?</p> <p>I'm implementing a Rails3 beta invite system a la Ryan Bates - <a href="http://railscasts.com/episodes/124-beta-invitations" rel="nofollow">http://railscasts.com/episodes/124-beta-invitations</a></p> <p>I've set up the mailer to send out the invite urls. Everything works fine, apart from one small issue.</p> <p>The url generated by the mailer is /user/sign_up.token.</p> <p>I need to generate /user/sign_up/token (slash instead of period). </p> <p>I guess I need to change the syntax in "Mailer.invitation().deliver", but I can't find any documentation to help. Can anyone point me in the right direction?</p> <p>The relevant bits of my routes file:</p> <pre><code>devise_for :users, :path_prefix =&gt; 'registration', :controllers =&gt; {:registrations =&gt; 'users/registrations'} do get "registration/users/sign_up/:invitation_token" =&gt; "users/registrations#new" end </code></pre> <p>Invitations controller:</p> <pre><code>class InvitationsController &lt; ApplicationController def new @invitation = Invitation.new @title = "Invite a friend" end def create @invitation = Invitation.new(params[:invitation]) @invitation.sender = current_user if @invitation.save if user_signed_in? Mailer.invitation(@invitation, new_user_registration_path(@invitation.token)).deliver redirect_to root_url, :notice =&gt; "Thank you, your friend will receive their invitation soon." else redirect_to root_url, :notice =&gt; "Thank you, we'll let you know when the next batch of invites are availale." end else if current_user.invitation_limit &gt; 0 render :action =&gt; 'new', :alert =&gt; "Sorry, there was a problem! Please try a again." else redirect_to root_url, :alert =&gt; "Sorry, you don't have any invitations left. Please wait until we issue more." end end end end </code></pre> <p>Mailer:</p> <pre><code>class Mailer &lt; ActionMailer::Base def invitation(invitation, sign_up) subject 'Invitation' recipients invitation.recipient_email @greeting = "Hi" @invitation = invitation @signup_url = sign_up @sender = invitation.sender_id invitation.update_attribute(:send_at, Time.now) end end </code></pre> <p>Thank you for any ideas!</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.
