I added an admin action send_EMAIL through admin.py. When admin uses the send_EMAIL action for selected users I want it to show an intermediate page with all selected users and ask for confirmation. In my case, it asks for confirmation but when I click on the "send Email" button nothing happens, and I get returned to the change_list view without the send_EMAIL action getting called.
Admin.py
class MyUserAdmin(UserAdmin):
list_display = ['username', 'email', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'is_active', staff]
list_filter = ['groups', 'is_staff', 'is_superuser', 'is_active']
actions = ['send_EMAIL']
def send_EMAIL(self, request, queryset):
from django.core.mail import send_mail
if 'apply' in request.POST:
for i in queryset:
if i.email:
send_mail('Subject here', 'Here is the message.', 'from@example.com',[i.email], fail_silently=False)
else:
self.message_user(request, "Mail sent successfully ")
else:
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.template import RequestContext, loader
t = loader.get_template('admin/send_mail.html')
c = RequestContext(request, {'articles': queryset})
return HttpResponse(t.render(c),)
admin.site.unregister(User)
admin.site.register(User, MyUserAdmin)
templates/send_mail.html
{% extends "admin/base_site.html" %}
{% block content %}
<form action="" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
<p>The mail will be send to following users:</p>
<ul>{{ articles|unordered_list }}</ul>
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="send_EMAIL" />
<input type="submit" name="apply" value="Send Email" />
</form>
{% endblock %}
