Re: Not sure if I am doing django-paypal correctly

[lone...@gmail.com]

I found a better article at: Better Django-paypal article 
.  For 
the most part, it does a really thorough explanation of what needs to be 
done.  There were some things that I had to adjust myself, but that was 
easy enough.  My God, I feel like I just ran a mental marathon.

Re: Not sure if I am doing django-paypal correctly

[Joel Tanko]

The code is really simple to implement, but I don't think the explanation
was intuitive enough.

You would need to create a signal like so

#hooks.py
from django.dispatch import Signal

success_signal = Signal(providing_args=[])

#views.py
from .hooks import success_signal
... # after payment

success_signal.connect(handler_function)
success_signal.send(sender=None, **kwargs)

This assumes that you already have a listener waiting for the signal
broadcast,
Also replace None with your sender (optional), and replace **kwargs with
any kwargs you're sending to your listeners.

Cheers

Re: Not sure if I am doing django-paypal correctly

[Yorben Verhoest]

Hello

I'm a Django Noobie and maybe I'm completely wrong about this but in my app 
named "core", I have a file called apps.py where I register my signals.
I just followed a tutorial as well so I can't yet explain what it does but 
if I had to guess is just to register the app with my signals.

Just when reading your question it reminded me of this:
[image: appconfig.png]

If this is wrong info I'll delete this but maybe this helps :)

Regards
