Instance Method Details

#append(*values) ⇒ Object

Values from request object to be appended to the contact form. Whenever used, you have to send the request object when initializing the object:

@contact_form = ContactForm.new(params[:contact_form], request)

You can get the values to be appended from the AbstractRequest documentation (api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/AbstractRequest.html)

Examples

class ContactForm < MailForm
  append :remote_ip, :user_agent, :session, :cookies
end

def append(*values)
  self.mail_appendable += values
end

#attribute(*accessors) ⇒ Object Also known as: attributes

Declare your form attributes. All attributes declared here will be appended to the e-mail, except the ones captcha is true.

Options

  • :validate - A hook to validates_*_of. When true is given, validates the

    presence of the attribute. When a regexp, validates format. When array,
validates the inclusion of the attribute in the array.

Whenever :validate is given, the presence is automatically checked. Give
:allow_blank => true to override.

Finally, when :validate is a symbol, the method given as symbol will be
called. Then you can add validations as you do in ActiveRecord (errors.add).

  • :attachment - When given, expects a file to be sent and attaches it to the e-mail. Don’t forget to set your form to multitype.

  • :captcha - When true, validates the attributes must be blank This is a simple way to avoid spam

Examples

class ContactForm < MailForm
  attributes :name,  :validate => true
  attributes :email, :validate => /^([^@]+)@((?:[-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,})$/i
  attributes :type,  :validate => ["General", "Interface bug"]
  attributes :message
  attributes :screenshot, :attachment => true, :validate => :interface_bug?
  attributes :nickname, :captcha => true

  def interface_bug?
    if type == 'Interface bug' && screenshot.nil?
      self.errors.add(:screenshot, "can't be blank when you are reporting an interface bug")
    end
  end
end
