Thank you Fred,
It gets a little more complicated because the mailinglist has many
mailings (database table shown below).
id mailinglist_id name email_address
1 2 Dave Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED]
So I thought you would have to collect these first then loop through
them...
somthing like the following perhaps?
def send_mail
@mail_template = MailTemplate.find(params[:id])
@mailing_list = MailingList.find(params[:mailing_list_id])
@mailinglist_mailings = @mailinglist.mailings.collect
--------- @mailinglist_mailings.mailing.each do |mailing|
Emailer.deliver_contact(mailing.email_address,
@mail_template.subject, @mail_template.body)
end
return if request.xhr?
render :text => 'Message sent successfully'
end
but i dont think that the line @mailinglist_mailings.mailing.each do
|mailing| is right
