Notification similar to django-notification

[billmac...@gmail.com]

Is there a plugin/package for web2py that is similar to django-notification for emails, texts and other activities?

you can give the django notifcation links to see

You can look at facebook notification, basically an interface where user pick how they want to receive their notification, by email or texts etc. Toggle them on and off and when they log into their dashboard they see the notifications and receive them as they have it set up in their settings. Its pretty standard for big applications. But since its a volunteer driven org/framework, it may be its not possible to get a package like that.

you can use api notification html 5  or other APIs such as notification http://docs.localytics.com/index.html

There's a facility for sending email:

Here is my code that sends SMSes through 4 services:

def send_sms(provider, src, dst, txt, uid, uname, pword):

    import urllib, json, base64, requests

    settings.plivo_send = 'https://api.plivo.com/v1/Account/%s/Message/'

    settings.twilio_send = 'https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/%s/Messages'

    settings.bandwidth_send = 'https://api.catapult.inetwork.com/v1/users/%s/messages'

    settings.nexmo_send = 'https://rest.nexmo.com/sms/json?api_key=%s&api_secret=%s&from=%s&to=%s&text=%s'

    if provider=='plivo':

        data = json.dumps({'src': src, 'dst': dst, 'text': txt})

        url = settings.plivo_send % uname

        headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json',

            'Authorization': 'Basic %s' % base64.b64encode('%s:%s' % (uname, pword))}

    if provider=='twilio':

        data = urllib.urlencode({'From': '+%s' % src, 'To': dst, 'Body': txt})

        url = settings.twilio_send % uname

        headers = {'Authorization': 'Basic %s' % base64.b64encode('%s:%s' % (uname, pword))}

    if provider=='bandwidth':

        data = json.dumps({'from': '+%s' % src, 'to': '+%s' % dst, 'text': txt})

        logger.debug(settings.bandwidth_send % uid)

        url = settings.bandwidth_send % uid

        headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json',

            'Authorization': 'Basic %s' % base64.b64encode('%s:%s' % (uname, pword))}

    if provider=='nexmo':

        url = settings.nexmo_send % (uid, uname, src, dst, txt)

    r = requests.post(url=url, headers=headers, data=data)

    return r
