Can anyone help me think of a primitive form of internal messaging between users of an app? No external email, nothing fancy because I have limited programming skill.
The only requirement is that a user can leave a message for another user, and the other user can reply. Example: 1. User-A leaves a message for User-B, "Hi, can you please give me your external email address?" 2. User-B says: "Sure, here it is, [email protected]" So I suppose there might be a db.Internal_Mail table. - auth_user_message_sender - auth_user_message_recipient - subject_of_message - body_of_message - date_time_sent - has_this_message_been_read_yet? 1. set up permissions so that users can read all records in db.Internal_Mail table that have their name either in the auth_user_messsage_sender or auth_user_message_recipient fields 2. set up permissions so that users can edit/delete all records in db.Internal_Mail table that have their name in the auth_user_sender field Based on above, seems that smartgrid or grid could handle all of the requirements except knowing how to reply and to who, which seems complicated to program. To reply, perhaps would have a controller named reply_to_an_email. It would let user 1. search through the emails 2. somehow select only one 3. then create a record in db.Internal_Mail table that switches contents of sender and recipient fields of selected record, copies subject line from the received message, and let's recipient fill out the body of the reply message. Any ideas? Is this already written elsewhere? If not, would this be useful to anyone else?
