Pinax

Pinax is an open-source platform built on the Django Web Framework. It is an ecosystem of reusable Django apps, themes, and starter project templates. This collection can be found at http://pinaxproject.com.

pinax-messages

pinax-messages is an application for allowing users of your Django site to send messages to each other.

This app was formerly named user-messages but was renamed after being donated to Pinax from Eldarion.

Getting Started

Include pinax-messages in your requirements file and add "pinax.messages" to your INSTALLED APPS setting.

Run Django migration (python manage.py migrate) so that the database creates the necessary tables for pinax-messages.

Once you have the pinax-messages installed and migrated, hook up the URLs:

urlpatterns = [
    # some cool URLs

    url(r"^messages/", include("pinax.messages.urls", namespace="pinax_messages")),

    # some other cool URLs
]

Now all you need to do is wire up some templates.

Running the Tests

$ pip install detox
$ detox
