django-usersettings

Generic settings and API for Django

Read/write dynamic user settings as user.settings.something, and with API support.

works on Django 1.6+

quick start

1. add to INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = ( ... 'django_dynamic_usersettings', ... )

2. add to urls.py:

from tastypie.api import Api

from django_dynamic_usersettings.api import UserSettingResource

v1_api = Api(api_name='v1') v1_api.register(UserSettingResource())

urlpatterns = patterns('', ... (r'^api/', include(v1_api.urls)), ... )

customize

There are two customizations:

1. the name of the user attribute, by default, it is user.settings., can be changed to user.something_else.

2. insert inline editing support on the django admin site. By default it is inserted, if a customized user model is used, maybe setting it to False is needed.

To customize:

On Django 1.7, inherit django_dynamic_usersettings.apps.UserSettingsConfig and set 'setting_attribute_name' and 'insert_inline_editing'.

On Django 1.6, set DDU_SETTING_ATTRIBUTE_NAME and DDU_INSERT_INLINE_EDITING in settings.py

To run test

1. pip install -r requirements_dev.txt
2. tox

This should run the tests on both Django 1.6 and 1.7
