Just integrated Mailboxer and I'm running into one problem. When I send a new message the sender_id
in the mailboxer_notifications
table is always zero instead of the id of the sender.
I'm using the friendly_id gem for usernames and I think this is where the problem is but I cant find out how to fix it (if it even is the problem).
messages/new.html.erb
<% provide(:title, "New Message") %>
<%= form_tag user_messages_path, method: :post do %>
<div class="form-group">
<%= label_tag 'message[subject]', 'Subject' %>
<%= text_field_tag 'message[subject]', nil, class: 'form-control', required: true %>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= label_tag 'message[body]', 'Message' %>
<%= text_area_tag 'message[body]', nil, cols: 3, class: 'form-control', required: true %>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= label_tag 'recipients', 'Choose recipients' %>
<%= select_tag 'recipients', recipients_options(@chosen_recipient), multiple: true, class: 'form-control chosen-it' %>
</div>
<%= submit_tag 'Send', class: 'btn btn-primary' %>
<% end %>
messages_controller.rb
class MessagesController < ApplicationController
before_action :authenticate_user
def new
@user = current_user
@chosen_recipient = User.find_by(id: params[:to].to_i) if params[:to]
end
def create
@user = current_user
recipients = User.where(id: params['recipients'])
conversation = current_user.send_message(recipients, params[:message][:body], params[:message][:subject]).conversation
flash[:success] = "Message has been sent!"
redirect_to user_conversation_path(@user, conversation)
end
private
def authenticate_user
unless ((current_user.id = params[:user_id]) unless current_user.nil?)
flash[:error] = 'Looks like your not supposed to be there'
redirect_to login_path
end
end
end
routes.rb
resources :users do
resources :conversations, only: [:index, :show, :destroy] do
member do
post :reply
post :restore
delete :empty_trash
post :mark_as_read
end
end
resources :messages, only: [:new, :create]
end
I mostly followed this tutorial when integrating the gem. I have no idea why it isn't saving the user id properly when they send a new message.
update
The reason I suspect friendly_id is causing it so save the sender_id
as 0 is because when I don't use friendly id in the url e.g. users/1/messages/new it works fine but users/example-user/messages/new it doesn't save the user id when creating a new message
