django-sales 0.1.0

Display different contact details based on query parameter and cookie

django-sales is a Django app for displaying different contact details based on query parameter (with cookie). It provides sales, partners and affiliates custom links to send out to the public. It gives sales, partners and affiliates their opportunity to convert every contact detail on the website to their own. It thus encourages sales, partners and affiliates to promote the website and the business.

Installation

Use the package manager pip to install django-sales.

pip install django-sales

Usage

Step 1. Add sales app (in settings.py file)

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    '...',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'sales',  # here
    'myapp',
    '...',
]

Make sure sales app is before all custom apps. Otherwise, Django will not recognize the ‘sales’ template tag.

Step 2. Add sales middleware (in settings.py file)

MIDDLEWARE = [
    'sales.middleware.sales.SalesMiddleware',  # here
    'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware',
    '...'
]

Step 3. Add sales context processors (in settings.py file)

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                '...',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
                'sales.context_processors.sales',  # here
            ],
        },
    },
]

Step 4. Customize sales settings (in settings.py file) (optional)

The defaults are:

SALES_LINK_PARAMETER = 'sales'
SALES_DEFAULT_ID = 1  # ?sales=1
SALES_COOKIE_NAME = 'sales'
SALES_COOKIE_MAX_AGE = 3600  # 1 hour
SALES_MODEL_FROM = 'django.contrib.auth.models'
SALES_MODEL_IMPORT = 'User'  # from SALES_MODEL_FROM import SALES_MODEL_IMPORT

In version 0.0.1, django-sales makes use of django.contrib.auth.models.User model, which can be easily extended according to your needs. (e.g. Add a phone number field) From version 0.1.0, django-sales allows developer to specify the Sales model to lookup sales, partners and affiliates.

Step 4. Load sales tag (in any .html file)

{% load static %}
{% load sales %}  # here

Step 5. Build sales links (in any .html file)

<a href="{% sales '/' %}">Home</a>
<a href="{% sales '/contact' %}">Contact</a>

Step 6. Display sales information (in any .html file)

<a href="mailto:{{ sales.email }}">Email</a>
<p>{{ sales.first_name }} {{ sales.last_name }}</p>
