Deactivating a user token

Hello All,

I have an Admin user, who can see list of users. He can activate or deactivate users. While deactivating a user I should send a mail along with activation link to the user. The activation link should be a token which onclick it will activate the account of the user.

While creating the user a token is saved in the db in users table. How to get that token from db ? or what else should I do ?

Thanks.

If the token is saved in User table then you should do this.

str = “Hello, your account has been deactivated. To reactivate your account please click on the link below. http://mysite.com/activate?token=#{User.find_by_id(@user.id).token}”

Then you can send the str in email.
