cubicweb-nosylist 0.7.1

roundup like nosylist component for the CubicWeb framework

Summary

This cube provides nosy-list “a la roundup” usable to notify users of events they subscribed to such as content modification, state change, etc.

A nosy list is an ad-hoc mailing list for entities where to which user can register, or be automatically registered on some action.

Usage

to use this cube:

1. add to your schema:

   CWUser interested_in X
   X nosy_list CWUser
   

   where X are entity types considered as notification base, eg controlling who will be notified for events related to X.

2. configure on which relation the nosy list should be propagated

   from cubes.nosylist import hooks as nosylist_hooks
   
   # relations where the "main" entity (eg holding the reference nosy list, so
   # should be in one `X` types cited above) is the subject of the relation
   nosylist_hooks.S_RELS |= set(('documented_by', 'attachment', 'screenshot'))
   
   # relations where the "main" entity (eg holding the reference nosy list, so
   # should be in one `X` types cited above) is the object of the relation
   nosylist_hooks.O_RELS |= set(('for_version', 'comments'))
   

3. write hooks that add user to nosy list when desired (for instance, when a user is adding a comment to an entity, add him to the entity’s nosy list)

4. define your notification views / hooks, which should rely on the default recipients finder mecanism to get notified users (automatic if you’re using cubicweb base classes)
