##Django-invitations - Generic invitations app

###About Generic invitations solution with adaptable backend and support for django-allauth. All emails and messages are fully customisable.

Originally written as an invitations solution for the excellent django-allauth, this app has been refactored to remove the allauth dependency whilst retaining 100% backwards compatibility.

Generic Invitation flow:

• Priviledged user invites prospective user by email (via either Django admin, form post, JSON post or programmatically)
• User receives invitation email with confirmation link
• User clicks link and is redirected to a preconfigured url (default is accounts/signup)

Allauth Invitation flow:

• As above but..
• User clicks link, their email is confirmed and they are redirected to signup
• The signup URL has the email prefilled and upon signing up the user is logged into the site

###Generic Installation

pip install django-invitations

# Add to settings.py, INSTALLED_APPS
'invitations',

# Append to urls.py
url(r'^invitations/', include('invitations.urls', namespace='invitations')),

###Allauth Integration

As above but note that invitations must come after allauth in the INSTALLED_APPS

# Add to settings.py
ACCOUNT_ADAPTER = 'invitations.models.InvitationsAdapter'

###Sending Invites

# inviter argument is optional
invite = Invitation.create('email@example.com', inviter=request.user)
invite.send_invitation(request)

To send invites via django admin, just add an invite and save.

###Bulk Invites

Bulk invites are supported via JSON. Post a list of comma separated emails to the dedicated URL and Invitations will return a data object containing a list of valid and invalid invitations.

###Testing

python manage.py test or tox
