Less painful html emails in Rails: | |
1. Install roadie and and mail_view gems | |
2. Setup MailPreview class in mailers directory & setup your variables (follow mail_view directions) | |
3. Download a mail template that's close to the design you want from Ink by Zurb http://zurb.com/ink/templates.php | |
4. Put the external stylesheet from the Ink template called 'email.css' in your stylesheets directory | |
5. Make sure the external stylesheet link tag goes to email.css <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="email.css" /> | |
6. Tweak the email.css stylesheet as needed, or add your own custom styles | |
7. Preview the email at http://localhost:3000/mail_view | |
Not using Rails? | |
You can inline the css manually with Ink's inliner: http://zurb.com/ink/inliner.php |
