E-Mail Templates

All e-mail templates are pure Django Templates, please see the Django Template Documentation for details. This document only contains some parts specific to django-campaign.

E-Mail Template Context

At the time the e-mail templates are rendered the following variables are available in the template context:

  • recipient - The object which receives the email. This can be whatever ContentType is specified in the SubscriberList that is currently processed.
  • recipient_email - The email address to which the current email is send.

If the Campaign is marked for online viewing the context will also contain the following variables:

  • view_online_url - The URL at which the campaign can be seen online
  • viewed_online - If the campaign is viewed with a webbrowser this variable is True, otherwise it is not present. This is usefull to hide the ‘view online’ links from if the campaign is viewed with a webbrowser.
  • site_url - The URL of the current django Site. See django.contrib.sites for more information.

If any CAMPAIGN_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS are defined their results are also available in the context at the time the email is sent. The results of the CAMPAIGN_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS will not be available if the campaign is viewed online.

Other Templates

If you use the built-in support for handling subscriptions and unsubscriptions you most probably want to override the template campaign/base.html somewhere in your projects TEMPLATE_DIRS. The bundled base.html template is only a placeholder to make developing and testing easier.

Of course, the templates campaign/subscribe.html and campaign/unsubscribe.html can also be overwritten to adapt to your site. They are kept pretty simple and only demonstrate how things should work.
