I'm probably missing something obvious, but I've got a logo I'd like to include in all of the emails I send from my app. I have a master layout I'm using for all of those Mailers. I assume there's a way to do keep it DRY and not have to add the line of code to attach the file in every mailer method. Can someone point me in the right direction or correct my line of thought.
Thanks!
Callbacks using before_filter and after_filter will be supported in a future Rails release:
http://github.com/rails/rails/commit/4f28c4fc9a51bbab76d5dcde033c47aa6711339b
Since they will be implemented using AbstractController::Callbacks, you can do the following to mimic the functionality that will be present in ActionMailer::Base once Rails 4 is released:
class YourMailer < ActionMailer::Base
if self.included_modules.include?(AbstractController::Callbacks)
raise "You've already included AbstractController::Callbacks, remove this line."
else
include AbstractController::Callbacks
end
before_filter :add_inline_attachments!
private
def add_inline_attachments!
attachments.inline["footer.jpg"] = File.read('/path/to/filename.jpg')
end
end
This includes the module that will be used in a future rails version, so the callback hooks available to you will be the same to ensure future compatibility. The code will raise when you try to upgrade to a Rails version that already includes AbstractController::Callbacks, so you will be reminded to remove the conditional logic.
I hacked a little something, it's not ideal, but it works.
If you use
default "SOMEHEADER", Proc.new { set_layout }
And then define set_layout
def set_layout
attachments.inline["logo.png"] = File.read("logopath.png")
attachments.inline["footer.jpg"] = File.read("footerpath.png")
"SOME HEADER VALUE"
end
Then because set_layout
gets called to set the header, it also adds the inline attachments. It basically creates a callback for adding attachments.
An actual callback system in ActionMailer
would be preferable, but this works too.
Thought I would share since I was looking for this answer on this question earlier today.
