How to send email

[Sean Liu]

Hi,

I am new to django-oscar, just want to send registration email out. How do I configure? 

anyone have any docs on django-oscar email settings?

Kind regards,

Sean

Sorted out myself.

Just figured out sending reg email, by adding some email parameters in the settings.py, 

but still, a more detailed email manual is appreciated. 

Cheers, Sean

We recently added some documentation there:

http://django-oscar.readthedocs.org/en/latest/howto/how_to_customise_oscar_communications.html

But I agree that it's still lacking. We want to consolidate Oscar's notifications, and while that ticket has been around for a while, it's becoming more likely to get adressed after the release of Oscar 0.6.
https://github.com/tangentlabs/django-oscar/issues/319

And as always, please share any insights you have via pull requests to the documentation!

Regards,

Maik

Hi Maik

Can you suggest the recommended way to - upon an order being placed - send an email to the fulfilment partner (or other admins) with the order details, not just the customer?

It's not clear from the documentation how to complete the end-to-end order fulfilment communications - this might be a useful update to the documentation.

best regards, Andy

Maik, here's what I am thinking about doing: using signals within an overridden models.py of an order app, as so:

from django.db import models

from oscar.apps.order.signals import order_placed

from oscar.apps.checkout.signals import post_checkout

from oscar.apps.order.abstract_models import AbstractOrder

class Order(AbstractOrder):

    

    # signal receiving method to send email to fulfilment partner

    def send_fulfilment_request(sender, **kwargs):

        order = kwargs['instance']

        # ...send email...

 

    order_placed.connect(send_fulfilment_request, order=self, user=self.user)

# add import statement at the end, so that django imports overridden model names first

from oscar.apps.order.models import *

Maik - is this the way that you would implement email comms for an order? I have to say, I'm a bit lost. Perhaps some better documentation of the order processing.py module would be good. I am just mimicking here what the analytics receiver functions do.

thanks Andy

Hi Andy,

your suggestion looks perfectly fine to me. I personally haven't looked
into custom notifications, but would've done it quite similar I think.
The docs are also a bit lacking because we intend to refactor the
different bits of where Oscar communicates into one unified app (there's
a ticket for it).

Just as a side note, I'm not a fan of blocking views to send send
emails. I've filed a ticket here:
https://github.com/tangentlabs/django-oscar/issues/662, and just had
some more thoughts I will add there.

Hope that helps,

Maik

Hi just a quick one were you able to implement this functionality? and did it affect any of the other views.

Hi Sean Liu
Can you please help me on how shall I send the email,

I have setup the OSCAR_FROM_EMAIL = 'my email'

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'

But all I'm seeing is the email in the terminal.

How can I send the Email?

Do I need to give the password for my email?

If yes, then where and how will those settings go?

Or shall I set the EMAIL_BACKEND to 'smtp' ? Please help me with all the settings
