django-feedback-form 1.3

Minified JQuery & Ajax feedback form to handle fast customer requests in Django

Minified JQuery & Ajax feedback/report form to handle fast customer requests in Django. You can use it as a fast feedback tool and/or to report objects (e.g. in case of abuse).

Prerequisites

You need at least the following packages in your virtualenv:

• Django

• django-mailer

• django-libs

Installation

To get the latest stable release from PyPi:

$ pip install django-feedback-form

To get the latest commit from GitHub:

$ pip install -e git://github.com/bitmazk/django-feedback-form.git#egg=feedback_form

Add the app to your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'django',
    'mailer',
    'feedback_form',
    'django_libs',
]

Run the migrations to create the app’s database tables:

$ ./manage.py migrate feedback_form

Usage

First of all add the feedback urls to your main urls.py:

url(r'^feedback/', include('feedback_form.urls')),

You can use the “normal” feedback view via /feedback/ but in almost every case you might want to use the ajax template tag. Just add the following code to e.g. your base.html:

{% load feedback_tags %}
{% feedback_form %}

Pretty ugly, eh? Now, you need to add css and js for sure, like this:

{% load staticfiles %}
<link href="{% static "feedback_form/css/feedback_form.css" %}" type="text/css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{% static "feedback_form/js/feedback_form.js" %}"></script>

That’s it! You can also use this app as a report tool. Simply call another url:

<a href="{% url "feedback_form_content_object" c_type='user' obj_id=user.pk %}">Report this user!</a>

You can easily customize your form by changing static files or by changing the following settings:

FEEDBACK_FORM_TEXTCOLOR

By default the text color is white like '#fff'.

FEEDBACK_FORM_COLOR

By default the background color is light blue like '#6caec9'.

FEEDBACK_FORM_TEXT

By default the text in the form is invisible. Just add the html markup you want to be displayed above the input fields, like:

<h3>Hi! Do you have feedback or questions?</h3>
<p>We'll answer as fast as possible.</p>

FEEDBACK_EMAIL_CONFIRMATION

Default: False

Sends a confirmation email to the feedback poster.
