This deprecates User.message_set in favour of a configurable messaging system, with backends provided for cookie storage, session storage and backward compatibility. Many thanks to Tobias McNulty for the bulk of the work here, with contributions from Chris Beaven (SmileyChris) and lots of code review from Russell Keith-Magee, and input from many others. Also credit to the authors of various messaging systems for Django whose ideas may have been pinched :-) git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@11804 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37

The "django.contrib" add-ons
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
Django aims to follow Python's `"batteries included" philosophy`_. It ships
|
|
with a variety of extra, optional tools that solve common Web-development
|
|
problems.
|
|
|
|
This code lives in ``django/contrib`` in the Django distribution. This document
|
|
gives a rundown of the packages in ``contrib``, along with any dependencies
|
|
those packages have.
|
|
|
|
.. admonition:: Note
|
|
|
|
For most of these add-ons -- specifically, the add-ons that include either
|
|
models or template tags -- you'll need to add the package name (e.g.,
|
|
``'django.contrib.admin'``) to your ``INSTALLED_APPS`` setting and re-run
|
|
``manage.py syncdb``.

|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
A set of high-level abstractions for Django forms (django.forms).
|
|
|
|
django.contrib.formtools.preview
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
An abstraction of the following workflow:
|
|
|
|
"Display an HTML form, force a preview, then do something with the submission."
|
|
|
|

========
|
|
|
|
A set of Django template filters useful for adding a "human touch" to data.
|
|
|
|
See the :ref:`humanize documentation <ref-contrib-humanize>`.
|
|
|
|
localflavor
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
A collection of various Django snippets that are useful only for a particular
|
|
country or culture. For example, ``django.contrib.localflavor.us.forms``
|
|
contains a ``USZipCodeField`` that you can use to validate U.S. zip codes.

See the :ref:`localflavor documentation <ref-contrib-localflavor>`.
|
|
|
|
.. _ref-contrib-markup:
|
|
|
|
markup
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
A collection of template filters that implement common markup languages:
|
|
|
|
* ``textile`` -- implements `Textile`_
|
|
* ``markdown`` -- implements `Markdown`_
|
|
* ``restructuredtext`` -- implements `ReST (ReStructured Text)`_
|
|
|
|
In each case, the filter expects formatted markup as a string and returns a
|
|
string representing the marked-up text. For example, the ``textile`` filter
|
|
converts text that is marked-up in Textile format to HTML.
|
|
|
|
To activate these filters, add ``'django.contrib.markup'`` to your
|
|
:setting:`INSTALLED_APPS` setting. Once you've done that, use ``{% load markup %}`` in
|
|
a template, and you'll have access to these filters. For more documentation,
|
|
read the source code in django/contrib/markup/templatetags/markup.py.
