django-voice

django-voice integrates user feedback with your Django project. Originally built for Verb (http://verbapp.com).

IMPORTANT: Upgrading to 0.4 from older versions

If you upgrade django-voice to 0.4 from older versions, you will take an error about database changing:

DatabaseError at /feedback/

no such column: djangovoice_feedback.email

You have two ways for fixing the problem.

If you want to use South..

Fake the first migration and run the second migration:

python manage.py migrate --fake djangovoice 0001
python manage.py migrate djangovoice

If you don't want to use South..

Open your SQL shell and add email column to djangovoice_feedback:

python manage.py dbshell

sqlite> ALTER TABLE "djangovoice_feedback" ADD COLUMN "email" varchar(75) NULL;
sqlite> ALTER TABLE "djangovoice_feedback" ADD COLUMN "slug" varchar(10) NULL;

That's it..

Installation and Dependencies

To satisfy dependencies listed in REQUIREMENTS you can simply run this command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

'pip' will automatically download and install dependencies required for django-voice. Next step is activating helper applications to run.

• Activate django's comment system. (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/comments/)
• Add django-gravatar (optional) and qhonuskan-votes to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings file.
• Add comments and django-voice to your url configration.
• Create at least one Type and Status either through the admin or fixtures.

After these steps, your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py must be seen like this:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'django.contrib.comments',
    'qhonuskan_votes',
    'gravatar',  # it's optional dependency
    'djangovoice'
)

and urls.py like this:

urlpatterns = patterns(
    ...
    url(r'^comments/', include('django.contrib.comments.urls')),
    url(r'^feedback/', include('djangovoice.urls')))

Remember to create and save at least one Type and Status model instance.

That's all you need to run django-voice.
