Info

This app can be used to add support for the spreedly subscription service to your django app.

Note this app is still in development, if you find issues or bugs, please submit them here:

django-paid-subscriptions issue tracker

The app currently covers:

• syncing subscriptions with your spreedly account.
• listing available subscriptions on your site.
• letting a user choose and signup for a subscription from your site.
• letting spreedly checkin and relay currently user subscription info.
• disabling part of your site for non-subscribed users (optional)
• redirecting users to the subscription page when their subscription expires.

Requirements

This code is currently only tested on django trunk, but should work without issue on 1.1

• python 2.5
• pyspreedly <- included as a submodule of this project
• LOGIN_URL variable in your settings file

Installation

1. Checkout the project into a folder called spreedly on your python path:

   git clone git://github.com/shelfworthy/django-spreedly.git spreedly

2. Update the submodules (this gets the python tender API wrapper)

   cd spreedly/ git submodule update --init

2. Add spreedly to your installed apps, and add the following to settings.py:

   SPREEDLY_AUTH_TOKEN = 'your auth token' SPREEDLY_SITE_NAME = 'your site name' SITE_URL = 'http://www.yoursitesurl.com'

3. The following can also be added, they are optional:

   this string will be used as the url for returning users from spreedly.

   this defaults to '/thanks/'

   SPREEDLY_RETURN_URL = '/welcome/'

   the base subscription url (where users will be redirected when their subscriptions expire)

   this defaults to '/subscriptions/' if you don't add a value to your settings.

   SPREEDLY_URL ='/register/'

   If you want to use your own subscription list page template:

   this defaults to 'subscriptions/templates/spreedly.html'

   SPREEDLY_LIST_TEMPLATE = 'path/to/your/template.html'

   if you want to restrict access to your entire site based to only users with an active subscription

   this defaults to False

   SPREEDLY_USERS_ONLY = True

   URL paths that a user without a subscription can vist without being redirected to the subscription list:

   these can be single pages ('/some/page/') of full directories ('/directory')

   SPREEDLY_ALLOWED_PATHS = ['/login', '/logout']

   This template will be used when checking to make sure the user is using a valid email

   this default to 'confirm_email.txt' Be sure to include {{ spreedly_url }} in your template

   SPREEDLY_CONFIRM_EMAIL = 'path/to/your/template.txt'

   This subject will be used for confirmation emails

   this defaults to "'complete your subscription to %s' % Site.object.get(id=settings.SITE_ID).name"

   SPREEDLY_CONFIRM_EMAIL_SUBJECT = 'This is a new subject'

   Where a user is directed after signing up.

   this defaults to 'email_sent.html'

   SPREEDLY_EMAIL_SENT_TEMPLATE = 'path/to/your/template.html'

   this is the email that will be sent to the user recieving the gift subscription

   this default to 'gift_email.txt' Be sure to include {{ spreedly_url }} in your template

   SPREEDLY_GIFT_EMAIL = 'path/to/your/template.txt'

   the subject for the gift confirm email

   this defaults to 'gift subscription to %s' % Site.objects.get(id=settings.SITE_ID).name

   SPREEDLY_GIFT_EMAIL_SUBJECT = 'This is a new subject'

   the base url for your site to be used when returning users from spreedly.

   this default to Site.objects.get(id=settings.SITE_ID) from the django Site app.

   SPREEDLY_SITE_URL = 'something.com'

4. Add the middleware to your settings.py MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES:

   'spreedly.middleware.SpreedlyMiddleware'

5. Add the following to urlpatterns in urls.py:

   import spreedly.settings as spreedly_settings (r'^%s' % spreedly_settings.SPREEDLY_URL[1:], include('spreedly.urls')),

6. Run syncdb

Use

After the app is installed, you can start creating subscriptions!

The app is designed to work with the following flow:

• new user enters user information and chooses a plan
• inactive user object is created and the user is sent an email with a link to spreedly to pay for plan
• after successful payment, user is directed back to your site
• the app will check with spreedly for users status
• if the user has an active subscription, the user object will be set to active and the user will be given a login url

If you want to make your site subscription only you can set the SPREEDLY_USERS_ONLY to True. This will redirect any anonymous user (or user with an inactive subscription) who visits a page not in the SPREEDLY_ALLOWED_PATHS list to your SPREEDLY_URL

Some Important Notes

Spreedly is sent a redirect url that will check and see if the user has signed up and activate their account. A user may not click on this link and in that case their account won't be active, unless:

Spreedly will ping a url with subscriptions change, and django-spreedly is setup to listen for this.

in your spreedly setting is the following: 'Subscribers Changed Notification URL'

if you are using the default settings for django-spreedly, the url you should put in this field is:

http://mysite.com/subscriptions/spreedly_listener/

if you changed SPREEDLY_URL, you'll need to substitute that for subscriptions.

If you want to add a fallback, you can also add the following to your login view after a user is logged in (but before you check if they are active):

from spreedly.functions import get_subscription

if not user.is_active:
	get_subscription(user)
