DjaoDjin's Template wrappers for HTML email and PDF templates

Primary LanguagePythonBSD 2-Clause "Simplified" LicenseBSD-2-Clause

This code was written to simplify the generation of HTML emails and PDF outputs from templates.

Install

Add the extended_templates to your INSTALLED_APPS.

settings.py:

    INSTALLED_APPS = (
        ...
        'extended_templates',
    )

Development

After cloning the repository, create a virtualenv environment, install the prerequisites, configure the settings to your email server, then run the sendtestemail command.

$ virtualenv-2.7 _installTop_
$ source _installTop_/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ make initdb

Here you will need to edit credentials and site.conf to use the appropriate settings to connect to your e-mail server.

credentials:
  EMAIL_HOST_USER =
  EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD =
site.conf:
  EMAIL_HOST    =
  EMAIL_PORT    =
  EMAIL_USE_TLS =
  DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL =

Then run the sendtestemail command and look for an e-mail delivered to you in HTML format.

$ python manage.py sendtestemail __your_email_address__

Note that you will need to link podofo-flatform.cc with podofo version 0.9.3. Version 0.9.1 as shipped with Fedora 21 will link with no error but the outputed PDF will be blank.
