I have a model called *Team*, which has a ForeignKey relationship with *User* (a team can have many users, but a user can only be part of one team).
A user can create a team, and that user will automatically become a *Team Leader* (a group, not a model). The team leader can query the database for other users and send invitations to other users join his team. Users who receive an invitation can either accept or decline the invitation; if a user accepts an invitation, he joins the team as as a *Team Member* My question is, how do I go about designing the invitation system? After the team leader clicks the 'Send Invitation' button, the receiving-user should see a special invitation message on his dashboard, which he can either accept or decline. My current thinking tells me I should create a model called *Invitation* which has a OneToOne relationship with User. When an invitation is sent, an instance of Invitation is created which is assigned to the receiving-user. The invitation instance will be deleted when the receiving-user accepts or declines the invitation. Another method I can think of is to send an Email to the receiving-user. The Email will be like an account activation Email, except the activation link adds the receiving-user to the team and marks the receiving-user as a *team member.* Pointers and guidance welcome. I feel like both my methods are clumsy and maybe there is a built-in feature in Django which I missed which could solve this problem much easier. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
