scdoshi / django-notifier Goto Github PK

I gave this package a shot, but could not get it work. Here are some of my notes:

• Created a repo and django project with a postgesdb.
• Created a "hello" app.
• Run the following code:

settings.py

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'

Created the files test-notification_email_message.txt, and test-notification_email_subject.txt

From the console.

from notifier.shortcuts import create_notification
create_notification('test-notification')

That created a row in "notifier_notification"

1   2015-01-16 18:37:01.17277-08    2015-01-16 18:37:01.172997-08   test-notification   test-notification   TRUE

Now to send the email

from notifier.shortcuts import send_notification
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
u = User.objects.get(pk=1)
send_notification('test-notification', [u])

This does nothing? Any ideas?

I liked the concept of this package. I like that backends can be added such as Push Notifications, SMS, etc.

Output of pip freeze:

Django==1.7.1
django-notifier==0.7

Heya,

I want to display the sent notifications also in the user's dashboard (or menu) with an unread count.

It would be great if this could be done as property of the SentNotification model. This way we can (in the future) also include an image in the html emails which automatically sets the 'read' boolean.

Figure out if possible to support both. Will also affect post_syncdb/post_migrate management functions.

Where does attribute come from? I can't get a settings form to display:

'attribute' is not a valid tag library: Template library attribute not found, tried...

Hey,

Second issue (because this app looks really promising). Will you accept a patch to use model_utils TimestampedModel instead of the variant in django-bits. Reason for this is that model_utils is more 'standard' and django-bits seems like a collection of random utils :-)

syncdb and south
