Requires the M2Crypto module. See [http://sandbox.rulemaker.net/ngps/m2/howto.smime.html](http://sandbox.rulemaker.net/ngps/m2/howto.smime.html) for more information on using M2Crypto to create S/MIME email. This could also be adapted to allow signing, or sign+encrypt, but currently only encrypts. Use just like `EmailMessage`, except takes an extra parameter `cert`, which is the path to the recipient's public X.509 certificate.
This small app can display messages to users after they login and before they get to the normal landing page. This can be useful for displaying maintenance notices, information on new features, or a one-day-sale on shoes. To redirect to the MOTD view after login, change: `<input type="hidden" name="next" value="{{ next }}" />` to: `<input type="hidden" name="next" value="{% url django_motd.views.motd %}?next={{ next }}" />` in your login.html template.
This is a somewhat simpler alternative to [http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/243/](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/243/) that does not return a 401 response. It's meant to be used along with the login_required decorator as an alternative way to authenticate to REST-enabled views. Usage: @http_basic_auth @login_required def my_view(request): ... If an HTTP basic auth header is provided, the request will be authenticated before the login_required check happens. Otherwise, the normal redirect to login page occurs.
The default server_error view uses Context instead of RequestContext. If you were depending on a context processor to make MEDIA_URL available in your templates, your 500.html template will not render with the correct image paths. This handler adds MEDIA_URL (and nothing else) back to the context that is sent to the template.
This is a simplified rip-off of django-registration and the built-in forms and views in contrib.auth. It requires no models and is very customizable. Saving the form creates a user with an unusable password and sends a password reset email (by default, uses the password reset template too). You must create templates/registration_form.html and the view registration_complete. I ripped this out of my site, which has a more complicated form, so I may be missing a few other things here.
Sometimes you want to generate a **really** absolute URL, but the built-in url tag only generates a URL relative to the current domain. This context processor adds the extra information needed to the request context, so you can generate an absolute URL in a template like so: `{{ protocol }}://{{ domain }}{% url someview %}` This is similar to how the password reset email from contrib.auth generates the full URL in the email. Save this somewhere as context_processors.py (or add to existing file if you have one), and add context_processors.site to your TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS setting.
