:Info: A Django oriented templated email sending class
:Author: Bradley Whittington (http://github.com/bradwhittington, http://twitter.com/darb)
Overview
=================
django-templated-email is oriented towards sending templated emails
intended for use with transactional mailers (ala mailchimp, silverpop,
etc.), but currently comes out of the box with a backend class which
uses django's templating system, and django's core.mail functions.
The send_templated_email method can be thought of as the render_to_response
shortcut for email.
Getting going - installation
=============
Installing::
pip install templated_email
You can add the following to your settings.py (but it works out the box)::
TEMPLATED_EMAIL_BACKEND = 'templated_email.backends.vanilla_django.TemplateBackend'
# For the django back-end specifically
TEMPLATED_EMAIL_DJANGO_SUBJECTS = {
'welcome':'Welcome to my website',
}
Getting going - sending your template emails
=============
Example usage using vanilla_django TemplateBackend backend
Python to send mail::
from templated_email import send_templated_email
send_templated_email(
template_name='welcome',
from_email='from@example.com',
recipient_list=['to@example.com'],
context={
'username':request.user.username,
'full_name':request.user.get_full_name(),
'signup_date':request.user.date_joined
}
)
Which looks in django template directories/loaders for
*templated_email/welcome.txt* ::
Hey {{full_name}},
You just signed up for my website, using:
username: {{username}}
join date: {{signup_date}}
Thanks, you rock!
It will also use *templated_email/welcome.html* for the html part
of the email allowing you to make it so much pretty. It is plausible
that one day there will be support for attachments and inline mime / images
Using MAILCHIMP STS:
=============
To use the MailChimp STS send method, you will need to install mailsnake (please note, until the main mailsnake has STS support, you need to use my fork)::
pip install -e git://github.com/bradwhittington/mailsnake.git#egg=mailsnake
And add the following to your settings.py::
TEMPLATED_EMAIL_BACKEND = 'templated_email.backends.mailchimp_sts.TemplateBackend'
MAILCHIMP_API_KEY = 'yourapikey'
# For the django back-end specifically
TEMPLATED_EMAIL_MAILCHIMP = {
'welcome':{
'subject':'Welcome to my website',
'track_opens':True,
'track_clicks':False,
'tags':['my','little','pony'],
}
}
