django-gift-registry 0.2

A gift registry for a wedding or similar event.

Gift Registry is a minimal wedding registry app. Guests can browse the list of gifts you’ve added, then choose one by entering their email address. If it’s a one-only type gift, the item is marked as chosen so you don’t receive two.

Quick start

1. Add required INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

   INSTALLED_APPS = (
       ...
       'django.contrib.sites',
       'gift-registry',
       ...
   )

2. Add a setting to describe your event:

   GIFT_REGISTRY_SETTINGS = {
       'EVENT_NAME': "Alice and Bob's Wedding",
   }

3. Include the gifts URLconf in your project urls.py like this:

   url(r'^gift-registry/', include('gift_registry.urls')),

4. Run python manage.py syncdb to create the Gift Registry models.

5. Start the development server and visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/gift_registry/gift/ to add gift ideas.

6. Visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/gift-registry/ to browse the public list.

Customising

There’s a good chance that you’ll want to customise the look and feel. You do this by overriding the built-in templates.

Add your own template directory to settings.TEMPLATE_DIRS and override the base template here. To do this, first create a “gift_registry” directory in your templates directory. Then from within the django-gift-registry package, copy “gift_registry/templates/gift_registry/base.html” into your newly created “gift_registry” directory. Customise this base.html file with your own HTML and CSS.
