Notifications

Configuration

To use email notifications, you must add 'simple_forums.notifications' to INSTALLED_APPS. Don’t forget to run your database migrations after doing that.

The other requirement for notifications is to have your email settings correctly configured. The crucial settings are EMAIL_HOST and EMAIL_PORT. For more information, refer to the django documentation.

Templates

To include notifications-specific items in your templates, you can use the variables provided by simple forums’ context processor (if installed). Example:

# my_app/my_template.html

{% if notifications_installed %}
    {{ notification_form }}
{% endif %}
