This is a functional work in progress for a private message system for Django projects.
The folders are accessed through the user's related manager:
- user.inbox for received messages
- user.outbox for sent messages
- user.drafts for saved messages
Features:
- Contact list
- Black list
- User filter in the message lists
- Undelete
- Message history
Check out the urls and the models to have a better idea:
- http://django-pm.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/myproject/pm/urls.py
- http://django-pm.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/myproject/pm/models.py
TODO:
- clean some logic
- fixtures and css for the project example
- templates internationalization
- French locale ( because i can :P )
- cron script to remove messages flagged for deletion
- unit tests ( yeah, i know, i should have done them before ! :P )
Project example:
In the trunk you will find a test project, download it and run
manage.py runserver
Go to the admin url http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ and log in with "Admin" / "test" ( case sensitive )
Then go to your inbox : http://127.0.0.1:8000/pm/inbox/
You can only send messages to yourself in this project
Notification:
The private messaging system gives a feedback to the user through a custom system using the sessions framework.
You can either use it for your whole project, or replace it in the code with
request.user.messages_set.create(message=message)
There is a special caveat with the messages containing undo links when you delete a message.
This notification system is explained here : http://django-pm.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/myproject/notification/__init__.py
User input filtering:
User input is not filtered but the hooks are there, feel free to add your recipies there: http://django-pm.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/myproject/pm/formatters.py
