ActsAsSubscribeable
===================
 
The acts_as_subscribeable plugin is a generator and plugin to allow the subscription based email notification 
(or other system if you choose to implement it differently) of changes in the model you specify as a subscribeable
object. The associations are polymorphic and can pertain to any model type.
 
Prerequisites
=============
Rails 1.2.6+
A User model that includes a field called email (Restful Auth compatible!)
 
Installing the plugin
=====================
  -- Get the plugin:
    ./script/plugin install svn://railsjitsu.com/var/svn/repos/acts_as_subscribeable/trunk/
  -- Run:
    ./script/generate acts_as_subscribeable_installation
  -- Add a has_many :subscriptions to your User model
  -- Configure the mailer initializer placed in /config/initializers/mailer.rb for your mail server
 
  NOTES:
  ======
  This will install the migration file and mailer initializer for the plugin.
 
Generating Subscribebale Models
===============================
  -- Create a model
  -- Add the hook:
    acts_as_subscribeable
  
  -- Run:
    ./script/generate subscribeable_model MODEL_NAME
 
  -- Add your observer hook in your environment.rb file
    config.active_record.observers = :MODEL_NAME_observer  
 
  NOTES:
  ======
  This will generate an observer and mailer for your model and hook in the observer. It defaults to an after_update 
  callback but you can add as many as you need or customize the observer to watch a parent model to alert on child 
  creation instead.
 
Customizing your email notification
===============================
  -- Customize the generated send_email_notification.html.erb file in your MODEL_NAME_mailer views directory to suit your needs  and the MODEL_NAME_mailer.rb mailer in your Models directory.
