Django Dynamic Email Settings

A reusable Django application, admin panel, and EmailBackend that allows email configuration to be changed while the server is running. The goal of the project is to be the absolute easiest way to get email configured across multiple environments.

Quickstart

• Install Django Dynamic Email Settings:

  $ pip install django-des
  

• Add it to your `INSTALLED_APPS`:

  INSTALLED_APPS = (
      ...
      'des',
      ...
  )

• Add the dynamic email configuration email backend to settings.py

  EMAIL_BACKEND = 'des.backends.ConfiguredEmailBackend'

• Run manage.py migrate des

• To enable test email support, add Django DES's URL patterns:

  from des import urls as des_urls
  
  
  urlpatterns = [
      ...
      url(r'^django-des/', include(des_urls)),
  ]

Settings

• DES_TEST_SUBJECT: Set to override the default test email subject line. (Default: "Test Email")

  Example:

  DES_TEST_SUBJECT = "My New Subject"

• DES_TEST_TEXT_TEMPLATE: Set to override the template used for text test emails. Note that this is a template file location, not a template string. (Default: "des/test_email.txt")

  Example:

  DES_TEST_TEXT_TEMPLATE = "myapp/email/test_email.txt"

• DES_TEST_HTML_TEMPLATE: Set to enable HTML emails and use the template provided as the text/html content. (Default: None)

  Example:

  DES_TEST_HTML_TEMPLATE = "myapp/email/test_email.html"
