Rails actionmailer sending emails for commentable model - ruby-on-rails

I'm trying to send emails through my actionmailer to the commentable owners' email after another user writes them a comment but I keep getting an error. Can someone help me out with this? Thanks in advance.
comment_mailer.rb
def email_notification(member, comment)
#member = commentable.member
#sender = comment.member
mail to: commentable.member.email, subject: "#{comment.member.full_name} (#{comment.member.user_name}) has left you a comment"
end
comment.rb
belongs_to :member
belongs_to :commentable, polymorphic: true
attr_accessible :content
after_create :send_email
def send_email
CommentMailer.email_notification(member, comment).deliver
end
error

format.json
format.js
end
end
end
private
def load_commentable
klass = [Status, Medium, Project, Event, Listing].detect { |c| params["#{c.name.underscore}_id"] }
#commentable = klass.find(params["#{klass.name.underscore}_id"])
end
def find_member
#member = Member.find_by_user_name(params[:user_name])
end

You error is in the send_email method. There is no local variable called comment. You are already inside an instance of comment, the instance you want to send an email about. So you want to use the keyword self instead.
Change this:
def send_email
CommentMailer.email_notification(member, comment).deliver
end
To this:
def send_email
CommentMailer.email_notification(member, self).deliver
end
self refers to the current instance of comment, which you want to use for your mailer.

No route matches, missing required keys

Rails polymorphic commenting with permalink/token urls

In my app I have a commenting system that's largely based off of this railscast. Now in my models I'm changing the to_param to a random string so the id isn't in the url. But then that breaks commenting.
status.rb
class Status < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :content, :member_id, :document_attributes, :permalink
belongs_to :member
belongs_to :document
has_many :comments, as: :commentable, dependent: :destroy
before_create :make_it_permalink
accepts_nested_attributes_for :document
def to_param
permalink
end
private
def make_it_permalink
# this can create permalink with random 12 digit alphanumeric
self.permalink = SecureRandom.hex(12)
end
end
statuses_controller.rb
class StatusesController < ApplicationController
before_filter :authenticate_member!, only: [:index, :new, :create, :destroy]
before_filter :find_member
rescue_from ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound do
render file: 'public/404', status: 404, formats: [:html]
end
def index
#statuses = Status.order('created_at desc').page(params[:page]).per_page(21)
respond_to do |format|
format.html # index.html.erb
format.js
end
end
def show
#status = Status.find_by_permalink(params[:id])
#commentable = #status
#comments = #commentable.comments.order('created_at desc').page(params[:page]).per_page(15)
#comment = #commentable.comments.new
respond_to do |format|
format.html # show.html.erb
format.json { redirect_to profile_path(current_member) }
end
end
def new
#status = Status.new
#status.build_document
respond_to do |format|
format.html # new.html.erb
format.json { render json: #status }
format.js
end
end
def create
#status = current_member.statuses.new(params[:status])
respond_to do |format|
if #status.save
#activity = current_member.create_activity(#status, 'created')
format.html { redirect_to :back }
format.json
format.js
else
format.html { redirect_to profile_path(current_member), alert: 'Post wasn\'t created. Please try again and ensure image attchments are under 10Mbs.' }
format.json { render json: #status.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
format.js
end
end
end
def destroy
#status = current_member.statuses.find(params[:id])
#activity = Activity.find_by_targetable_id(params[:id])
#commentable = #status

# def load_commentable
# resource, id = request.path.split('/')[1,2] # photos/1/
# #commentable = resource.singularize.classify.constantize.find(id) # Photo.find(1)
# end
# alternative option:
def load_commentable
klass = [Status, Medium, Project, Event, Listing].detect { |c| params["#{c.name.underscore}_id"] }
#commentable = klass.find(params["#{klass.name.underscore}_id"])
end
#def load_commentable
# #commentable = params[:commentable_type].camelize.constantize.find(params[:commentable_id])
#end
def find_member
#member = Member.find_by_user_name(params[:user_name])
end
end
The problem lies in the load_commentable method in the comments_controller. I've tried a couple different variations of the method but the second one works best for my app and it was working when the url's had their id's in them. But since I overwrote the to_param to use my random permalink commenting stopped working because it's trying to find theid where it equals the permalink. Since it seems to try to find the id through the url, how do I pass the the actual id and not the permalink or how do I find commentable by it's permalink instead of id?
It's hard to tell if your param will always be the value of id or always be the permalink, or will sometimes be an id and sometimes a permalink.
If it will always be a permalink, then do:
#commentable = klass.find_by_permalink(params["#{klass.name.underscore}_id"])
instead of
#commentable = klass.find(params["#{klass.name.underscore}_id"])
If it is sometimes id and sometimes other, then you will need make logic to determine which is needed based on the class.

Rails polymorphic comments scoping delete action

I've implemented polymorphic commenting based off the Ryan Bates Railscast and everything is working correctly so far, but I'm trying to scope the delete action so that only the owner of the comment can delete their own comments and the owner of the commentable can delete any comment. I'm not sure how to make this happen.
Any ideas?
Here's my CommentsController:
class CommentsController < ApplicationController
before_filter :authenticate_member!
before_filter :load_commentable
def index
#comments = #commentable.comments
#comment = #commentable.comments.new
end
def new
#comment = #commentable.comments.new
end
def create
#comment = #commentable.comments.new(params[:comment])
#comment.member = current_member
if #comment.save
redirect_to :back
else
render :new
end
end
def destroy
#comment = Comment.find(params[:id])
#comment.destroy
if #comment.destroy
redirect_to :back
else
format.html { redirect_to :back, alert: 'You can\'t delete this comment.' }
end
end
private
# def load_commentable
# resource, id = request.path.split('/')[1,2] # photos/1/
# #commentable = resource.singularize.classify.constantize.find(id)
# Photo.find(1)
# end
# alternative option:
def load_commentable
klass = [Status, Medium].detect { |c| params["#{c.name.underscore}_id"] }
#commentable = klass.find(params["#{klass.name.underscore}_id"])
end
end
You could set up your destroy method as follows:
def destroy
#comment = Comment.find(params[:id])
if #comment.user == current_user
#comment.destroy
format.html { redirect_to :back, alert: "Comment Successfully destroyed" }
else
format.html { redirect_to :back, alert: 'You can\'t delete this comment.' }
end
end
If you want to allow your admin to delete any comments, you can change
if #comment.user == current_user
to
if #comment.user == current_user || current_user.admin?

Rails 3: despair - cannot login to successfully created account with Authlogic

I am trying to solve this issue already second day, but I still cannot find the problem... In the DB table are all data needed for Authlogic created, but when I try to log in, I always get the error message Wrong credentials..
Could anyone help me, please, with this problem? I already have no idea, how to fix it :/
Ok, problem seems to be solved - I used for my purposes the column name active, which using also Authlogic.
Renamed to activity and everything is working well.

Is it possible to use the comments controller for two different things?

class CommentsController < ApplicationController
def create
#contact = Contact.find(params[:contact_id])
#comment = #contact.comments.create(params[:comment])
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to contact_path(#contact) }
format.js
end
end
def destroy
#contact = Contact.find(params[:contact_id])
#comment = #contact.comments.find(params[:id])
#comment.destroy
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to contact_path(#contact) }
format.js
end
end
end
Is it possible to also create and destroy comments for the company model? How do you check whether a user is on a certain page? Because then I can just have an if statement.
The changed CommentsController
class CommentsController < ApplicationController
def create
#object = find_object
#comment = #object.comments.create(params[:comment])
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to [#object] }
format.js
end
end
def destroy
#object = find_object
#comment = object.comments.find(params[:id])
#comment.destroy
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to [#object] }
format.js
end
end
private
def object
#object = if params[:contact_id]
Contact.find(params[:contact_id]
elsif params[:company_id]
Company.find(params[:company_id])
end
end
end
you can do it with routing
# routes.rb
resources :contacts do
resources :comments
end
resources :company do
resources :comments
end
So in controller you can handle if there any company or contact around:
def destroy
#object = find_object
#comment = #object.comments.find(params[:id])
#comment.destroy
redirect_to [#object]
end
private
def find_object
#object = if params[:contact_id]
Contact.find(params[:contact_id])
elsif params[:company_id]
Company.find(params[:company_id])
end
end
But best solution here is to use POLYMORPHISM here. Check out:
