Using django messages

Using django-messages

• Include django_messages to the INSTALLED_APPS setting
• Include django_messages.urls to your main urls.py

Templates

• Create a folder message inside your apps templates folder
• Create create_message.html inside message folder
• Create a form with form.as_p and submit button that posts to the same page
• Create message_confirm_delete.html inside message folder
• Create a form (method POST) with a submit button that posts to the same path

You can change default template directory by changing inheriting CreateMessage/DeleteMessage and change template_name variable.

Template tags

You can use request.user|getInbox on your html pages to get all conversations the current user is participating along with last_message ( dict of {conversation:last_message} )

Example:

{% for conv,message in request.user|getInbox %}
• {{conv}} - {{message}}
{% endfor %}
