i wish to externalize this signal from the gallery application so that it is up to the website project whether or not a signal is being used. i suppose i could add a toggle variable in the gallery settings file so the project settings file can decide whether or not to utilize the work being done within the method via a local variable... seems kind of a messy way to do things... it'd be great to have a single file for the website's signals... sort of like setting up templatetags at the project level On Dec 1, 3:28 pm, Daniel Roseman <dan...@roseman.org.uk> wrote: > On Dec 1, 5:29 pm, garagefan <monkeygar...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > Now, i've read the thread in regards to putting the import in the > > __init__.py > > > here is my structure > > > website_project > > - > signals > > - - > signals.py (and an __init__.py) > > - > shared_apps (link to numerous apps shared amongst other projects) > > - - > gallery application > > > my signals.py looks like this > > > from django.db.models.signals import post_save > > from django.core.mail import send_mail > > from gallery.models import Gallery > > > def send_creation(sender, instance, *args, **kwargs): > > if 'created' in kwargs: > > if kwargs['created'] and instance.published: > > send_mail('Subject here',[sender, instance.published, > > args, kwargs,], 'f...@example.com', ['....@example.com'], > > fail_silently=False) > > > post_save.connect(send_creation,sender=Gallery) > > > this works when in the gallery application, however... this is just a > > test case, eventually i am going to be hitting up the fb graph api and > > posting the website's facebook profile, and i'd prefer to keep the > > gallery application useful for both facebook and non-facebook > > integrated websites. > > > I've attempted import signals and import signals.signals in the > > website_project __init__.py. the former resulting in nothing and the > > latter resulting in a "internal server failure" upon restart. > > You should do this the other way round.
