How can we configure user getting confirmation email once they sign up or create their account
harish senapati
Thanks for the tool, its really nice.
I Installed the code but when I try to create user, the user is not
receiving any confirmation mail.
Can someone help me in setting this up? do I need to configure
something to get the mails?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks

Hi Harish,
If you've just installed the code on your local machine, it won't send
any emails. This is intentional in development mode. If you watch the
terminal that you run 'rails server' in, you'll see the body of the
emails there, and you can just paste the links into your browser to
confirm a user.
If you have a production install, you'll need to configure the mailer
accordingly. If you install onto Heroku, the instructions in the README
should set this up for you.
If you're installing onto your own hosting, you may need to configure
mailing in config/environments/production.rb. I think Rails will try by
default to send via SMTP to localhost, so if your server is configured
for this it may just work. Otherwise see
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/action_mailer_basics.html#action-mailer-configuration
for all the options for configuring mailing.
Sorry this is all a bit ugly at the moment, we'll eventually have a
master configuration file for handling all this kind of thing.

Thanks for the quick response, ya now I deployed the production
instance and it works.
Had one more question, what is the significance of labels in a story?
Thanks
