$ git clone git://github.com/abhiabhi94/django-flag-app.git
$ cd django-flag-app
$ python setup.py install

Usage

Add app

To enable django_flag_app in your project you need to add it to INSTALLED_APPS in your projects settings.py file:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'flag',
    ...
)

Add URL

In your root urls.py:

urlpatterns = patterns(
        path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
        path('flag/', include('flag.urls')),
        ...
        path('api/', include('flag.api.urls')),  # only required for API Framework
        ...
    )

Migrate

Run the migrations to add the new models to your database:

python manage.py migrate flag

Connect the flag model with the target model

In models.py add the field flags as a GenericRelation field to the required model.

E.g. for a Post model, you may add the field as shown below:

from django.contrib.contenttypes.fields import GenericRelation

from flag.models import Flag


class Post(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User)
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    body = models.TextField()
    # the field name should be flags
    flags = GenericRelation(Flag)

Important

the name of the field should be flags.

Use template tag

If you want to use web API, this step is not required. See further instructions at Web API.

render_flag_form tag requires 3 required positional arguments:

  1. Instance of the targeted model.
  2. User object.
  3. Request object

To render the flag form for a the instance post, place this inside your detail view, perhaps in some template of the sort postdetail.html.

{% render_flag_form post user request %}
