brosner / django-notification Goto Github PK

I've made a number of changes to notification for a site. Some of these are:

1. SMS notifications
2. HTML support for emails.
3. added user_can_modify boolean field added to NoticeTypes. You may not want to allow a user to be able to modify notification settings for certain types of notices.
4. Added a Generic Foreign Key to notices to allow extending the send checking feature.

To explain further.

Say a user wants to receive only Email notifications related to tribe X, but no SMS . From tribe Y say they want to receive SMS notifications, but not email. And then say for tribe Z they want to only receive onsite notifications.

So now with the changes I made each notice has a new foreign key (if its null it is not checked) which we use to get a model instance that we ask whether we should send the notification. This allows for extending the notification system, which can give the user a finer granularity control.

So the question is are any of these items of interest to you?

It would be great to implement support for email only notifications, where the user receives an email containing the notification, but no data is stored in the database for efficiency, and thus it is not presented in anyway in the user notification settings other than allowing them to opt out of receiving the email.
