Full installation

Django-social is designed to get you started quickly first. Also, it attemps to follow best practices including configurability while embeding many ‘unlockable’ features.

Notifications list

To include the “dropdown menu” facebook-ish ajax notification widget, load social_tags.

Then, add an html container (it can be a div, an li, whatever) with classes “dropdown outer <queue name>”. For example:

{% load social_tags %}

<div class="dropdown outer other">
    {% social_dropdown request 'other' 'undelivered,unacknowledged,acknowledged' 'undelivered,unacknowledged' 15 %}
</div>

This template tag is subject to being re-done with django-native-tags to allow optionnal arguments.

Javascript

Enable the javascript as such:

{% get_static_prefix as STATIC_PREFIX %}

<!-- load jquery, don't copy that if you already have it -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js"></script>

{% if request.user.is_authenticated %}
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{ STATIC_PREFIX }}social/jquery-implementation.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        Subscription.factory('{% url 'social_dropdown_ajax' %}', '{% url 'social_dropdown_open' %}');
    });
</script>
{% endif %}
