Generating invite link

[Zeynel]

How do we generate invite link in this example:

http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/mail/sendingmail.html

message.body = """
I've invited you to Example.com!

To accept this invitation, click the following link,
or copy and paste the URL into your browser's address
bar:

%s
""" % generate_invite_link(to_addr)

Is "generate_invite_link()" a function that we need to supply? What is
it? Thanks.

Hi Zeynel,
You will need to write your own generate_invite_link function. How
you will do that depends on your app, but presumably you will direct
users to some URL specific to that user and ask them to signup or
something.

Hi Zeynel,

You may want to do something as below:

Entity:
Invitation {
Date invitationTime;
String email;
String code;
}


Sending Mail:
Content can be something like "You are invited to
http://mastergaurav.appspot.com/invite/code".

Handling:
Add a handler at "/invite/*"
Grab the path-info (HttpServletRequest::getPathInfo). Remove
leading "/". Remainder part is your code.
Search in DB using this code. Get the email/invitationTime to do
futher processing (your invitation has been expired or welcome).


Hope that helps.
