Django-messages enables your users to send private messages to each other. It provides a basic set of functionality that you would expect from such a system. Every user has an Inbox, an Outbox and a Trash. Messages can be composed and there is an easy, url-based approach to preloading the compose-form with the recipient-user, which makes it extremly easy to put "send xyz a message" links on a profile-page.
Currently django-messages comes with these translations:
- ar (thanks to speedy)
- da (thanks Michael Lind Mortensen)
- de
- el (thanks Markos Gogoulos)
- es (thanks paz.lupita)
- es_AR (thanks Juanjo-sfe)

- it (thanks to Sergio Morstabilini)
- lt
- ko
- nl (thanks krisje8)
- pl (thanks maczewski)
- pt_BR (thanks Diego Martins)
- ru (thanks overkrik)
- zh_CN (thanks Gene Wu)

Download the tar archive, unpack and run python setup.py install or checkout
the trunk and put the django_messages
folder on your PYTHONPATH
.
Released versions of django-messages are also available on pypi and can be
installed with easy_install or pip.
Add django_messages
to your INSTALLED_APPS
setting and add an
include('django_messages.urls')
at any point in your url-conf.
The app includes some default templates, which are pretty simple. They
extend a template called base.html
and only emit stuff in the block
content
and block sidebar
. You may want to use your own templates,
but the included ones are good enough for testing and getting started.
Django-messages has no external dependencies except for django. However, if django-notification and/or django-mailer are found, it will make use of them. Note: as of r65 django-messages will only use django-notification if 'notification' is also added to the INSTALLED_APPS setting. This has been done to make situations possible where notification is on pythonpath but should not be used, or where notification is another python package, such as django-notification which has the same name.
