Many sites need to notify users when certain events have occurred and to allow configurable options as to how those notifications are to be received.
The project aims to provide a Django app for this sort of functionality. This includes:
- submission of notification messages by other apps
- notification messages on signing in
- notification messages via email (configurable by user)
- notification messages via feed
If you want migrations, please install south, but not required.
The use of django-mailer is recommended, but not required.
Add notification to your INSTALLED_APPS and migrate/syncdb.
Create some NoticeType instances in your database.
Make sure you have django.contrib.humanize in INSTALLED_APPS if you use the default templates, as they load the filter.
Same goes for django-pagination and django-timezones which depends on pytz.
Do note they extend a template called site_base.html so have that available as well.
Creating your own templates is recommended, all the views take template_name as a parameter.
