Django Notes

Overview

Easily add notes and basic reminders to your django apps.

Reminders popup at the bottom of the screen using ajax.

Requires Django 1.2+.

Instructions

1. Add notes to your PYTHONPATH and INSTALLED_APPS

2. If you wish to use notes in admin, add "notes" from notes/media to your MEDIA_URL (or settings.NOTES_MEDIA_URL).

3. Give your models notes. Example --

    from notes import NotesField
    
    class MyModel(models.Model):
        ...
        notes = NotesField()
        ...
   

4. Show notes in admin (at the bottom). Example --

    from notes import BaseNoteAdmin
    
    class MyAdmin(BaseNoteAdmin):
        ...
   

5. Use NoteFormSet in your views. Example --

    formset = NoteFormSet(user=request.user, data=request.POST)
