Email validation/activation with rails

1. Install the restful_authentication plugin
2. run script/generate authentication user sessions ?include-activation
3. rake db:migrate
4. see this link
5. on the part where you create the mail.rb config/initializer use this link instead, pasting that code in the place of the code recommended by avnetlabs.com?s tutorial
6. create a new file called smtp_tls.rb in your lib folder and paste this code into it
7. open the production and development configuration files, config/environments/production.rb and config/environments/development.rb and put in the SITE_URL = ?localhost:3000? and for production your webdomain. according to avnetlabs
8. edit the user_mailer.rb model to use the SITE_URL variable instead
9. Open the email template files (app/views/user_mailer/activation.html.erb and app/views/user_mailer/signup_notification.html.erb) and modify as desired
10. that?s it
