email link not working

Hi all,

I've integrated a "reset password" facility on the site I'm developing allowing the user to reset their password if they forget it. The problem I am having is that the link to the reset page is not showing up as a hyperlink.

My User_Mailer looks like this

    def forgot_password(user)     setup_email(user)     @subject += 'linkITB - Reset Password'     @body[:url] = "http://localhost:3000/user/reset_password/"\# {user.reset_password_code}"   end

  protected     def setup_email(user)       @recipients = "#{user.email}"       @from = "admin@linkITB.ie"       @subject = "[linkITB.ie] "       @sent_on = Time.now       @body[:user] = user     end end

My views/ user_mailer is:

Hi <%= @user.user_name %>,

Your password has been reset.

You can now login by using the following link <%= @url %>

Regards,

The linkITB team

This may be just a typing-error but have you closed the quotations after password/ in your mailer model like you have here?

Try setting this in the mailer method:

body :url => "http://localhost:3000/user/reset_password/# {user.reset_password_code}"

and then in the view <%= link_to "click here", @url %>

Or ---

In the view simply specify the full url <%= link_to 'click here', url_for(:controller => 'users', :action => 'reset_password', :params=> (your params)), :host => 'your host here) %>

It's important to specify the host in the mailer views.

Hope this helps

Yeah, sorry, that was a typo!! It should have been like you have written it.

I'll try the second implementation and see if that works.

Thanks
