You can add links to your email via actionmailer templates (via link_to). Then you can use the regular controller/view mechanism for your pages. So in summary 1) Store all of your player data in the model 2) Use an actionmailer template for the email 3) Use normal views for the pages SH -- Starr Horne My blog: http://starrhorne.com Check out my Helpdesk RailsKit: http://railskits.com/helpdesk/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
