Django Postman implementation for sending messages

Question

I am trying to use the Django-Postman framework to send messages between users in Django 2.0. I have installed the app and made the necessary changes as mentioned in the docs of the framework.

However when i try to go the the message urls I get a blank page (like this screenshot):

blank page

Here is what I have done so far:

Installed django-postman

In settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'postman',
    'account',
    'cart',
    'shop',
    'landingpage',
]
POSTMAN_I18N_URLS = True  # default is False
POSTMAN_DISALLOW_ANONYMOUS = True  # default is False
POSTMAN_DISALLOW_MULTIRECIPIENTS = True  # default is False
POSTMAN_DISALLOW_COPIES_ON_REPLY = True  # default is False
POSTMAN_DISABLE_USER_EMAILING = True  # default is False
POSTMAN_FROM_EMAIL = 'from@host.tld'  # default is DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL
POSTMAN_AUTO_MODERATE_AS = True  # default is None
POSTMAN_SHOW_USER_AS = 'get_full_name'  # default is None
POSTMAN_NAME_USER_AS = 'last_name'  # default is None
POSTMAN_QUICKREPLY_QUOTE_BODY = True  # default is False
POSTMAN_NOTIFIER_APP = None  # default is 'notification'
POSTMAN_MAILER_APP = None  # default is 'mailer'

And I have linked urls this way in urls.py

url(r'^messages/', include('postman.urls', namespace='postman')),

How can I solve this problem?

And what behaviour do you desire, can you be more specific? Have you debugged your code? — vishes_shell, Aug 14 '18 at 06:53

Try http://127.0.0.1:8000/postman/message/ if you're on localhost. It should resolve the issue.

There appears to be a email backend missing. For example, I added:

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'
POSTMAN_AUTO_MODERATE_AS = True  # default is None
