django-site-broadcasts

======================

The site broadcast application allows users to define short messages and

announcements that should be displayed across a site.

Each broadcast message consists of a short message, an optional start time, and

a completion time, when the should be displayed across a site.

Installation

============

Use pip:

    pip install django-site-broadcasts

Or clone the repository and use the ``setup.py`` file to install the application.

    python setup.py install

Then add ``broadcasts`` to your ``INSTALLED_APPS`` and

``broadcasts.context_processors.broadcast_message`` to

``TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS``.

Usage

=====

If you've added the context processor to your list of context processors, you

can simply refer to the current message using the context variable::

    {{ broadcast_message }}

The message itself should be displayed with::

    {{ broadcast_message.message }}

TO-DO

=====

* Handle time zones (Django project timezone may differ from server timezone)

* Use caching (if available)
