If you don't specify the plain block and `html2text `_ package is installed, the plain part will be calculated from the HTML part.

Remember to include a trailing slash. - -Using with `Django Anymail `_ -========================================================================= - -Anymail integrates several transactional email service providers (ESPs) into Django, with a consistent API that lets you use ESP-added features without locking your code to a particular ESP. It supports Mailgun, Postmark, SendGrid, SparkPost and more. - -You can use it with django-templated-email, just follow their instructions in their `quick start `_ to configure it. - -Optionally you can use their custom `EmailMessage `_ class with django-templated-email by using the following settings: - -.. code-block:: python - - # This replaces django.core.mail.EmailMessage - TEMPLATED_EMAIL_EMAIL_MESSAGE_CLASS='anymail.message.AnymailMessage' - - # This replaces django.core.mail.EmailMultiAlternatives - TEMPLATED_EMAIL_EMAIL_MULTIALTERNATIVES_CLASS='anymail.message.AnymailMessage' - - -Inline images -============== - -You can add inline images to your email using the *InlineImage* class. - -First get the image content from a file or a *ImageField*: - -.. code-block:: python - - # From a file - with open('pikachu.png', 'rb') as pikachu: - image = pikachu.read() - - # From an ImageField - # Suppose we have this model - class Company(models.Model): - logo = models.ImageField() - - image = company.logo.read() - -Then create an instance of *InlineImage*: - -.. code-block:: python - - from templated_email import InlineImage - - inline_image = InlineImage(filename="pikachu.png", content=image) - -Now pass the object on the context to the template when you send the email. - -.. code-block:: python - - send_templated_mail(template_name='welcome', - from_email='from@example.com', - recipient_list=['to@example.com'], - context={'pikachu_image': inline_image}) - -Finally in your template add the image on the html template block: - -.. code-block:: html - - - -Note: All *InlineImage* objects you add to the context will be attached to the e-mail, even if they are not used in the template. - - -Add link to view the email on the web -===================================== - -.. code-block:: python - - # Add templated email to INSTALLED_APPS - INSTALLED_APPS = [ - ... - 'templated_email' - ] - -.. code-block:: python - - # and this to your url patterns - url(r'^', include('templated_email.urls', namespace='templated_email')), - -.. code-block:: python - - # when sending the email use the *create_link* parameter. - send_templated_mail( - template_name='welcome', from_email='from@example.com', - recipient_list=['to@example.com'], - context={}, create_link=True) - -And, finally add the link to your template. - -.. code-block:: html - - - {% if email_uuid %} - - You can view this e-mail on the web here: - - here - - {% endif %} - -Notes: - - A copy of the rendered e-mail will be stored on the database. This can grow - if you send too many e-mails. You are responsible for managing it. - - If you use *InlineImage* all images will be uploaded to your media storage, - keep that in mind too. - - -Class Based Views -================== - -It's pretty common for emails to be sent after a form is submitted. We include a mixin -to be used with any view that inherit from Django's FormMixin. - -In your view add the mixin and the usual Django's attributes: - -.. code-block:: python - - from templated_email.generic_views import TemplatedEmailFormViewMixin - - class AuthorCreateView(TemplatedEmailFormViewMixin, CreateView): - model = Author - fields = ['name', 'email'] - success_url = '/create_author/' - template_name = 'authors/create_author.html' - -By default the template will have the *form_data* if the form is valid or *from_errors* if the -form is not valid in it's context. - -You can view an example `here `_ - -Now you can use the following attributes/methods to customize it's behavior: - -Attributes: - -**templated_email_template_name** (mandatory if you don't implement **templated_email_get_template_names()**): - String naming the template you want to use for the email. - ie: templated_email_template_name = 'welcome'. - -**templated_email_send_on_success** (default: True): - This attribute tells django-templated-email to send an email if the form is valid. - -**templated_email_send_on_failure** (default: False): - This attribute tells django-templated-email to send an email if the form is invalid. - -**templated_email_from_email** (default: **settings.TEMPLATED_EMAIL_FROM_EMAIL**): - String containing the email to send the email from. - -Methods: - -**templated_email_get_template_names(self, valid)** (mandatory if you don't set **templated_email_template_name**): - If the method returns a string it will use it as the template to render the email. If it returns a list it will send - the email *only* with the first existing template. - -**templated_email_get_recipients(self, form)** (mandatory): - Return the recipient list to whom the email will be sent to. - ie: - -.. code-block:: python - - def templated_email_get_recipients(self, form): - return [form.data['email']] - -**templated_email_get_context_data(**kwargs)** (optional): - Use this method to add extra data to the context used for rendering the template. You should get the parent class's context from - calling super. - ie: - -.. code-block:: python - - def templated_email_get_context_data(self, **kwargs): - context = super(ThisClassView, self).templated_email_get_context_data(**kwargs) - # add things to context - return context - -**templated_email_get_send_email_kwargs(self, valid, form)** (optional): - Add or change the kwargs that will be used to send the e-mail. You should call super to get the default kwargs. - ie: - -.. code-block:: python - - def templated_email_get_send_email_kwargs(valid, form): - kwargs = super(ThisClassView, self).templated_email_get_send_email_kwargs(valid, form) - kwargs['bcc'] = ['admin@example.com'] - return kwargs - -**templated_email_send_templated_mail(*args, **kwargs)** (optional): - This method calls django-templated-email's *send_templated_mail* method. You could change this method to use - a celery's task for example or to handle errors. - - -Future Plans -============= - -See https://github.com/vintasoftware/django-templated-email/issues?state=open - -Using django_templated_email in 3rd party applications -======================================================= - -If you would like to use django_templated_email to handle mail in a reusable application, you should note that: - -* Your calls to **send_templated_mail** should set a value for **template_dir**, so you can keep copies of your app-specific templates local to your app (although the loader will find your email templates if you store them in */templates/templated_email*, if **TEMPLATED_EMAIL_TEMPLATE_DIR** has not been overridden) -* If you do (and you should) set a value for **template_dir**, remember to include a trailing slash, i.e. *'my_app_email/'* -* The deployed app may use a different backend which doesn't use the django templating backend, and as such make a note in your README warning developers that if they are using django_templated_email already, with a different backend, they will need to ensure their email provider can send all your templates (ideally enumerate those somewhere convenient) - -Notes on specific backends -============================== - -Using vanilla_django --------------------------- - -This is the default backend, and as such requires no special configuration, and will work out of the box. By default it assumes the following settings (should you wish to override them): - -.. code-block:: python - - TEMPLATED_EMAIL_TEMPLATE_DIR = 'templated_email/' #Use '' for top level template dir - TEMPLATED_EMAIL_FILE_EXTENSION = 'email' - -For legacy purposes you can specify email subjects in your settings file (but, the preferred method is to use a **{% block subject %}** in your template): - -.. code-block:: python - - TEMPLATED_EMAIL_DJANGO_SUBJECTS = { - 'welcome':'Welcome to my website', - } - -Additionally you can call **send_templated_mail** and optionally override the following parameters:: - - template_prefix='your_template_dir/' # Override where the method looks for email templates (alternatively, use template_dir) - template_suffix='email' # Override the file extension of the email templates (alternatively, use file_extension) - cc=['fubar@example.com'] # Set a CC on the mail - bcc=['fubar@example.com'] # Set a BCC on the mail - template_dir='your_template_dir/' # Override where the method looks for email templates - connection=your_connection # Takes a django mail backend connection, created using **django.core.mail.get_connection** - auth_user='username' # Override the user that the django mail backend uses, per **django.core.mail.send_mail** - auth_password='password' # Override the password that the django mail backend uses, per **django.core.mail.send_mail** - - -Releasing a new version of this package: -======================================== - -Update CHANGELOG file. - -Execute the following commands:: - - bumpversion [major,minor,patch] - python setup.py publish - git push origin --tags - - -Commercial Support -================== - -.. image:: https://avatars2.githubusercontent.com/u/5529080?s=80&v=4 - :alt: Vinta Logo - :target: https://www.vinta.com.br - -This project, as other `Vinta Software `_ open-source projects is used in products of Vinta's clients.
