I'm creating a contact page with the usual form, and I found Pony which seemed to fit the bill for what I needed. The site is basically static, so is built using Middleman, but I've been reading around and figured to add a contact form Sinatra would be helpful.
I have my form; I have my ruby code, but I'm having difficulty pulling them together. I seem to be missing something that will trigger the ruby code.
The form, in /source/contact-us.html.haml :
%form.contact{ :action => "/contact-us.html", :method => "post"}
%fieldset
%label{:for => "name"} Full name *
%input{:type => "text", :name => "name"}
%label{:for => "email"} Email addresss *
%input{:type => "text", :name => "email"}
%label{:for => "phone"} Phone *
%input{:type => "text", :name => "phone"}
%input{:type => "submit", :value => "Send", :class => "read-more"}
And the ruby code (currently in /mail.rb) :
require 'sinatra'
require 'pony'
post '/contact-us.html' do
options = {
:to => '[my email]',
:from => params[:email],
:subject => params[:name],
:body => params[:phone]
}
Pony.mail(options)
redirect '/thankyou.html'
end
I'm testing things out both locally and hosted on a server that I've verified is running Ruby (which is always a good start ;) )
I've had a look elsewhere on stackoverflow and I found things like these, but nothing that helped me solve my problem :
Contact form in ruby, sinatra, and haml
Sending mail with Pony and Sinatra
This is the first time I'm using Ruby and Middleman for a site, so I'm learning lots - I can't help but feel that I've missed something fairly obvious here..
