Friends app failing to find SITE_NAME in settings

[wongobongo]

I'm using:

Pinax - 0.9a1
Django - 1.2.4
django-friends - 0.1.5

I'm trying to test the email invitation function (via facebox) which
uses django-friends but the following error occurs:

AttributeError at /invitations/invite/
'Settings' object has no attribute 'SITE_NAME'

/Users/kelvin/envs/visions/lib/python2.5/site-packages/friends/
models.py in send_invitation

123. "SITE_NAME": settings.SITE_NAME,
124. "CONTACT_EMAIL": settings.CONTACT_EMAIL,

https://github.com/jtauber/django-friends/blob/master/friends/models.py

There is also no CONTACT_EMAIL in my settings file. Should I be adding
those keys into my setting file? There is also a context processor
(pinax/core/context_processors.py) which reads similar keys out of the
database.

I had the same issue. So had to add these two fields to settings.py
and that helped. But agree, would be nice to have these properties
generated for the project.

Check out pinax/pinax/core/context_processors.py and
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/sites/#hooking-into-the-current-site-from-views

You don't need to add SITE_NAME to settings.py, simply create your
site in the database (can use the admin) and set the SITE_ID, also
make sure you are including this context processor in your settings.

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = [
...
"pinax.core.context_processors.pinax_settings",
...
]

Thanks for your reply Thomas. My understanding is that context
processors inject global/sitewide variables into the templates and not
the settings object - if this is incorrect please let me know. I
concluded that the error was generated by code in the model not the
template (the SITE_DOMAIN, etc. keys exists in the template just as
you would expect). Specifically lines 123 and 124 in the
send_invitation method of the JoinInvitationManager class pull non-
existent keys from the settings object raising an AttributeError.

https://github.com/jtauber/django-friends/blob/master/friends/models.py

I have both pinax's context processor installed and Site 1 configured
in the database as you directed (settings.SITE_ID=1). Yet, one URL in
the site generates errors (try inviting someone by email using the
form in social site - on submit, it raises no errors? Root-relative
URL is "/invitations/invite/").

Hmm, I actually haven't used django-friends yet, so maybe someone that
is can report back. However, it looks like the
JoinInvitationManager.send_invitation method should be setting the
SITE_NAME from get_current() and not from settings.SITE_NAME, or
checking to see if pinax is used since the
`context_processors.pinax_settings` would also be adding it.

Might be a bug, especially since django-friends is intended to be used
with and without Pinax, there may have been an oversight here.

I do know that the CONTACT_EMAIL must be set in the main settings.
