django-messages-ui 0.1.1

JS and HTML to support the Django contrib.messages app

jQuery messages-UI plugin package for Django

django-messages-ui adds JS and HTML to support the Django contrib.messages app. It should be called on the message list object, and accepts options for message selectors, transient messages, and close-links. Messages are added via ICanHaz.js.

Dependencies

• jQuery library (http://jquery.com/)

• jQuery doTimeout (http://benalman.com/projects/jquery-dotimeout-plugin/)

• iCanHaz (http://icanhazjs.com/)

• django-icanhaz 0.2.0+ (https://github.com/carljm/django-icanhaz)

Installation

In your Django project settings, add “messages_ui” to your INSTALLED_APPS.

Usage

Linking the JS:

<script src="{{ STATIC_URL }}messages_ui/jquery.messages-ui.js"></script>

Including the default HTML Template:

{% include "messages_ui/_messages.html" %}

Calling the plugin:

$('#messages').messages();

Adding a message in JS:

$(ich.message({message: "Sample Message", tags: "info"}).appendTo($('#messages'));

To override the default JS template, add a message.html file to a directory listed in your ICANHAZ_DIRS setting.
