Hi,
I am trying to use a cron job to render and mail pdf files on a daily basis. Problem is that this code doesn't compile and render the template; it just passes the embedded ruby code on as text.
app = ActionView::Base.new app.controller = ActionController::Base.new data = app.render_template('rhtml', "path_to_template/template.rhtml") pdf << data
Reason that I use render_template is that render_to_string, which I originally used, is a protected method... and if I try to bypass that with send, I get a null pointer exception.
Cheers /Markus
