Django Flash Status

A tiny and simple add-on to django-flash to add and display multiple status and error messages for a user. Feedback welcome!

Usage

You can add a status message like so:

request.add_status('Your settings were successfully updated!')

You can add an error message like so:

request.add_error('All form fields are required. Please see errors below.')

In fact you can add any type of a message to a list of messages like so:

request.add_message('zings', 'Your mom.') request.add_message('zings', 'That's what she said.')

Setup

First you'll need to have django-flash installed. You can find it on GitHub at: http://github.com/danielfm/django-flash/

To use django-flash-status you'll need both FlashMiddleware and FlashStatusMiddleware included in your middleware settings.

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = ( ... 'djangoflash.middleware.FlashMiddleware', 'djangoflashstatus.middleware.FlashStatusMiddleware', ... )

That's all!

To use the flash.html template you'll need to include the django-flash context processors in your TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS setting.

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = ( ... 'djangoflash.context_processors.flash', ... )

You'll also need to add djangoflashstatus to your INSTALLED_APPS so your project can find the template. Alternately, you can the location of this template to your TEMPLATE_DIRS setting.

INSTALLED_APPS = ( ... 'djangoflashstatus', # flash.html template ... )
