Build Status

The followit django app allows to easily set up a capability for the site users to follow various things on the site, represented by django model followit.models.FollowRecord using the django.contrib.models.ContentTypes system.

Release Notes

Starting the version 0.1.0, django-followit supports django 1.7. Also starting this version, method register must be called from your app's AppConfig.ready() method.

Starting the version 0.0.8 it is not necessary to run syncdb for this app, but instead run the migrate command.

Setup

To the INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py add entry 'followit'. Once that is done, in your shell run:

python manage.py migrate followit
Then, in the body of AppConfig.ready method, add::
import followit followit.register(Thing)

Now it will be possible for the user to follow instances of SomeModel.

If you decide to allow following another model, just add another followit.register(...) statement.

Usage

Examples below show how to use followit (assuming that model Thing is registered with followit in your models.py:

bob.follow_thing(x)
bob.unfollow_thing(x)
things = bob.get_followed_things()
x_followers = x.get_followers()
Available urls from the followit/urls.py::

/follow/<model_name>/<item_id>/

{% url follow_object "somemodel" item_id %} #model name lower case

/unfollow/<model_name>/<item_id>/

{% url unfollow_object "somemodel" item_id %} #lower case model name

/toggle-follow/<model_name>/<item_id>/

{% url toggle_follow_object "somemodel" item_id %} #lower case model name

followit does not yet provide template tags.
