django-newsletter Description

Django app for managing multiple mass-mailing lists django-newsletter is a Django application for managing multiple mass-mailing lists with both plaintext as well as HTML templates (and TinyMCE editor for HTML messages), images and a smart queueing system all right from the admin interface.StatusWe are currently using this package in several production environments, but it should still be considered a work in progress.RequirementsPlease refer to requirements.txt for an updated list of required packes.Installation 1. Get it from the Cheese Shop: pip install django-newsletter Or get the latest & greatest from Github and link it to your application tree: pip install -e git://github.com/dokterbob/django-newsletter.git#egg=django-newsletter (In either case it is recommended that you use VirtualEnv in order to keep your Python environment somewhat clean.) 2. Add newsletter and to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py and make sure that django-tinymce is there as well: INSTALLED_APPS = ( ... 'tinymce', ... 'newsletter', ... ) 3. Make the media dir available as {{ MEDIA_URL }}newsletter/ and do the same for the django-tinymce app. Preferably use something like django-staticmedia to manage the media files for your installed apps so you won't have to worry about this. You can simply pip install django-staticmedia and add the following to urls.py to make everything accessible in the development server: import staticmedia urlpatterns += staticmedia.serve() 4. Configure TinyMCE if you have not already done so. At the very least make sure you set TINYMCE_JS_URL in settings.py to point to wherever tiny_mce.js is located. (Typically /media/tinymce/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js) 5. Create required data structure and load default template fixture: ./manage.py syncdb ./manage.py loaddata default_templates 6. Run the tests to see if it all works: ./manage.py test If this fails, please contact me! If it doesn't: that's a good sign, chap. You'll probably have yourself a working configuration!Usage 1. Start the development server: ./manage.py runserver 2. Navigate to /admin/ and: behold! 3. Put a submission in the queue. 4. Submit your message with ./manage.py runjob submit 5. For a proper understanding, please take a look at the model graph.http://github.com/dokterbob/django-newsletter/raw/master/graph_models.pngUnit testsFairly extensive tests are available for internal frameworks, web (un)subscription and mail sending. One feature currently untested is actually sending mail to very large numbers of recipients (1000+), but feel free to try around. Requirements: · Python · Django
