django-nyt 0.9.1

A pluggable notification system written for the Django framework.

django-nyt
==========

django\_nyt does this:

.. code:: python

from django_nyt import notify

EVENT_KEY = "my_key"
notify(_("OMG! Something happened"), EVENT_KEY)

All users subscribing to ``EVENT_KEY`` will have a notification created
in their stack. If you have emails enabled, they may get a summary of
notifications at an interval of their choice.

Data can be accessed easily from Django models or from the included JSON
views.

Why should you do this?
-----------------------

Users need an cleverly sifted stream of events. Ensure that they have
the possibility of customizing what they deem fit for their stream.

What do you need to do?
-----------------------

You need to do a lot. Firstly, you need to write some javascript that
will fetch the latest notifications and display them in some area of the
screen. Upon clicking that icon, the latest notifications are displayed.
Something like this:

Javascript drop-down
Some examples are provided, but there is no real easy way to place this
nifty little thing at the top of your site.

Other things for your TODO list:

- Provide your users with options to customize their subscriptions and
notification preferences.
- Customize contents of notification emails
- Make the mail notification daemon script run
``python manage.py notifymail --daemon``
- Put calls to ``notify(...)`` where ever necessary.
