This is just a quick guide to get things to work ASAP. To dive into the details.. Read the docs
How to install
Downloading the package
Probably the best way to install is by using PIP:
$ pip install django-notify-x
If you want to stay on the bleeding edge of the app:
$ git clone https://github.com/v1k45/django-notify-x.git $ cd django-notify-x $ python setup.py install
Installing it on your project
After the you’ve installed django-notify-x in your python enviroment. You have to make an entry of the same in your project settings.py file:
INSTALLED_APPS = ( ... 'your.other.apps', ... 'notify'. )
Then an entry on the urls.py file:
urlpatterns = ( url(r'^notifications/', include('notify.urls', 'notifications')), )
Then run migrations:
$ python manage.py migrate notify
Then collectstatic to make sure you’ve copied the JS file for AJAX functionality:
$ python manage.py collectstatic
You’ve successfully installed django-notify-x!
Sending notifications
Sending notifications to single user
from notify.signals import notify
# your example view
def follow_user(request, user):
user = User.objects.get(username=user)
...
dofollow
...
notify.send(request.user, recipient=user, actor=request.user
verb='followed you.', nf_type='followed_by_one_user')
return YourResponse
Easy as pie, isn’t it?
Sending notifications to to multiple users:
from notify.signals import notify
# your example view
def upload_video(request):
...
uploadvideo...
...
video = VideoUploader.getupload()
followers = list(request.user.followers())
notify.send(request.user, recipient_list=followers, actor=request.user
verb='uploaded.', target=video, nf_type='video_upload_from_following')
return YourResponse
Just change the recipient to recipient_list and send notifications to as many users you want!
And other things…
It will be best to Read the Docs instead of expecting every thing from a quick guide :)
