Re: Django call_command from Admin

you need to basically add a hook (save class) to your save model and
process stuff along the way.

you will need to modify this example but it's how i update info when
saving an scom email user for dovecot.

you can also override the admin class as well with something simaliar

Note :
super(EmailUsers, self).save(*args, **kwargs) #Save the email changes

is extemely important as stuff will process but any field updates will
not save without the above line......

example :


def save(self, *args, **kwargs): #This will create an email account if
nessesary.
emailaddress = str(self.username) #Set the email address to see if we
need to create the mailbox?
emailpassword = str(self.password) #Set the password (used for check
alias)

#prefill username/domain is blank
if self.domain == None or str(self.domain) == '' :
self.domain = self.username.split('@')[1]

if self.source == None or str(self.source) == '' :
self.source = self.username

if self.destination == None or str(self.destination) == '' :
self.destination = self.username




domain = str(self.domain)
send_settings = str(self.send_settings)
if self.send_settings == None :
send_settings = ''
self.send_settings = ''
dontupdate = self.dontupdate
self.dontupdate = False

#set dovecot directory & split user / domain
if self.username.split('@')[1] == 'preload.scom.ca' :
self.home = '/data/dovecot/users/%s/%s' %(
self.domain,self.destination.split('@')[0] )
else:
self.home = '/data/dovecot/users/%s/%s' %( self.domain,self.destination )

self.user = self.username.split('@')[0]

#Set alias Flag
if self.password == 'alias' or (self.source != self.destination) :
self.alias_flag = True
#self.sieve_forwards = ''
#self.vacation_active = False
else :
self.alias_flag = False

self.username_search = self.username
self.username_search = self.username_search.replace ('.','')
self.username_search = self.username_search.replace ('@','')


super(EmailUsers, self).save(*args, **kwargs) #Save the email changes

i email with something like :

#Try to get info for this account
if dontupdate == False :

imap_test = Dovecot_Command ('INFO',self.username) #do i have this
account ?

if 'BAD' in imap_test.answer :
try : #Try to Create the account, note that the db must be updated
properly before it will work
imap_create = Dovecot_Command ('CM',self.username)
if 'OK' in imap_create.answer :
send_subject = 'Email Account Created : %s' %(str(self.username) )

except :
send_subject = 'Error Account : %s' %(str(self.username) )
pass

else :
send_subject = 'Email Account Updated : %s' %(self.username)

#Send update email

send_from = 'monitor@scom.ca'
send_files = []
send_to = ['monitor@scom.ca']
send_text = '\n\n'+ send_subject + '\n'
sendmail(send_from,send_to,send_subject,send_text,send_files) #Send
the warning email
