    copied!<p>We have a web application that sends out emails on server errors like <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/error-reporting/#server-errors" rel="nofollow">django specifies</a>. We need to attach a hash to each email, though, so that we can better manage them.</p> <p>Unfortunately, the majority of the documentation that discusses reformatting these emails is for version 1.3. We use 1.2.7, and can't upgrade. It seems like this means that the <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/logging/#an-example" rel="nofollow">dictConfig()</a> examples don't apply to us.</p> <p>I have found this method of patching django:</p> <pre><code>diff --git a/django/django/core/handlers/base.py b/django/django/core/handlers/base.py index 45f8445..1605549 100644 --- a/django/django/core/handlers/base.py +++ b/django/django/core/handlers/base.py @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -import sys +import sys, md5 from django import http from django.core import signals @@ -170,7 +170,11 @@ class BaseHandler(object): request_repr = repr(request) except: request_repr = "Request repr() unavailable" - message = "%s\n\n%s" % (self._get_traceback(exc_info), request_repr) + tb=self._get_traceback(exc_info) + # generate an md5 hash from this as a fingerprint + hash=md5.new(tb) + fingerprint='fingerprint: %s' % hash.hexdigest() + message = "%s\n\n%s\n\n%s" % (tb, fingerprint, request_repr) mail_admins(subject, message, fail_silently=True) # If Http500 handler is not installed, re-raise last exception if resolver.urlconf_module is None: </code></pre> <p>Unfortunately this patch has to be re-applied each time we upgrade django.</p> <p>What's the best way to customize emails in django 1.2?</p>
