Re: Testing Emails with Django

I ended up using the solution in the original post first before I saw the built-in way to do the same thing. But I'm glad I landed here since now I understand the settings to change once I have an SMTP server running.

You're exactly right... in Django 1.2 they added mail backends, of which console is one. I should add an update at the top. This was written roughly 1 year before the addition of the console backend so it's a bit out of date.

There is an easier way to do this. Just set EMAIL_BACKEND in settings.py (or local_settings.py):
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend' Django will automatically log all comments to standard output for you.

Yes it actually is good.
Now it is not necessary to use that that like var_dump () (I PHP the programmer) ;)

Thanks a lot!
./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 was sweet to find.

If anyone interested I then managed to automate settings.py with:
LOCALHOST = socket.gethostbyname_ex(socket.gethostname())[2][0]
MEDIA_URL = 'http://%s/mediapath' % LOCALHOST
Might be useful if you also serve static from built in apache.

heya,

Hmm, I may be wrong, but I think you're missing a trailing comma in the TEMPLATE_DIRS example above. Django's expecting a tuple here, isn't it?

Cheers,
Victor

Nice overall, but why do you want all that random crap on your path? Might be a source of trouble.

sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(os.path.realpath(os.path.dirname(__file__)), '..', 'django_project'))
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'settings'

I have this line in my ~/.vimrc:

set list listchars=tab:›\ ,trail:·,eol:¬ " mark trailing white space

How did you get the spaces and linebreaks showing in that format?

Love the snippets! However, I noticed that... by setting the filetype to "python.django" it breaks TagList (i.e. TagList no longer shows tags for python files...). Any idea if there's a way to have TagList treat python.django files as if they were python files?
