django-notification[1] is a django app for managing the notification
of events like "Jacob has accepted your friend request" over multiple
media (email, feeds, web page) regardless of which app was responsible
for the app.
At the moment the notification message is just a text field but I'd
like it to be able to contain links to objects, for example to allow
"Jacob" to be a link to Jacob's profile page when the notice appears
on a web page or feed.
I'm considering changing the object to, instead of having just a text
field, have a string template and a list of objects. So in the example
I've been using, the string template would be something like "{0} has
accepted your friend request" and the list of objects would be [<User:
Jacob>].
The question is then how to capture the list of arbitrary objects in
the model. I was thinking of using another text field containing
delimited pairs of model name (or content type) and id. So there would
be a string template field with "{0} has accepted your friend request"
and an object list field that would be serialized as "auth.user:3", or
in the case of multiple objects, something like "auth.user:3|
another.model:id|..."
Thoughts on this approach?
