Forum Series Part 5: Email Notifications with Rails 4.2, deliver_later, and Previews Discussion
Innokenty Longway
I have no audio from 10:05 to 11:05. Is that an issue with the screencast or just a particularly reflective section? :)
Well shoot. That's definitely missing audio. I may not have the original audio to get that fixed unfortunately. Looks like I'm just explaining that you can set the anchor and your emails can link to and highlight the specific element on the page when you click the link.
We can no longer use `deliver_now` or `deliver_later` with preview as it will throw an Net::OpenTimeout error. "Methods must return a Mail::Message object which can be generated by calling the mailer method without the additional deliver." http://api.rubyonrails.org/...
Very good to know! Thanks @Marklar
What should you do instead now?

@excid3:disqus in the send notifications method, could you sub current_user for user when subtracting from the unique list? Does [user] reflect :user in belongs_to :user relationship?
Yes it does. It's basically creating an array with one item in it and that item is the User from the belongs_to relationship. You can't do "current_user" because it's a method that's only available in the controllers and views. In the model here, we only have access to the current ForumPost record and it's associations.
