Django Waitinglist

Pinax

Pinax is an open-source platform built on the Django Web Framework. It is an ecosystem of reusable Django apps, themes, and starter project templates. This collection can be found at http://pinaxproject.com.

This app was developed as part of the Pinax ecosystem but is just a Django app and can be used independently of other Pinax apps.

django-waitinglist

django-waitinglist is a Django waiting list app for running a private beta with cohorts support.

django-waitinglist's Issues

Building cohort groups needs to be easier.

from a survey instance or waiting list entry page, I should be able to click "add this person to a cohort group".

pull request pending.

Should Implement Django 1.9 Migrations

python manage.py syncdb is deprecated.
Current Solution is to run python manage.py migrate --run-syncdb

This should be apparent in the documentation page, and I think it may as well be updated.
I would be happy to do this as I don't think it will take much time.

Use settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL instead of auth.User

Waitinglist is still using auth.User, so this won't work with custom user models. Use settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL instead. Happy to add a pull request if needed.

Include missing templates

These are missing and should probably be included in the repo.

• waitinglist/survey_invite_subject.txt
• waitinglist/survey_invite_body.txt
• waitinglist/survey.html
• waitinglist/thanks.html
• waitinglist/list_signup.html.html
• cohorts/cohort_list.html
• cohorts/cohort_create.html
• cohorts/cohort_detail.html

Viral Invites?

Looking through the code base it seems waiting list isn't a marketing type of application. Would this be a correct assumption?

I make this assumption based on :

• a pre-registration flow
• no ability for invited members to invite others

Convert existing views to Class Based Views

From the docs:

All views have been converted to class-based views. This is a big departure from the traditional function-based, but has the benefit of being much more flexible.

This actually hasn't been done yet, and it would indeed make the app more flexible.
