django-mentions

Twitter-like mentions for django

Add application to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...,
    'mentions',
)

Add app urls to your urls.py:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    ...
    url(r'^mentions/', include('mentions.urls')),
)

Implement a mention provider (in mentions.py module, for example):

from mentions import Provider

class UserProvider(Provider):
    model = User

    def get_title(self, obj):
        return obj.username

    def search(self, request, term):
        return self.get_queryset().filter(username__istartswith=term)

Add this provider to your settings.py:

MENTIONS_PROVIDERS = {
    'default': [
        'accounts.mentions.UserProvider'
    ]
}

Use mentions.forms.MentionTextarea widget instead of the default one:

from mentions.forms import MentionTextarea

class PostForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Post
        widgets = {
            'text': MentionTextarea
        }

To urlize mentions in your templates, use urlize_mentions filter:

{% load mentions %}
{{ post.text|urlize_mentions }}
