How do I display notifications from `django-notification`?

Question

I've been reading the docs for django-notification, and they seem to cover creating notifications just fine, but not how to display them to users. Is there a good reference for this out there, and my Google-fu has just failed me? If not, can someone give me some pointers here? Thanks.

The answer is you have to build it into your own templates. This can be as simple as the following snippet:

<table>
    <caption>{% trans "Notices" %}</caption> 
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>{% trans "Type" %}</th>
            <th>{% trans "Message" %}</th>
            <th>{% trans "Date of the Notice" %}</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        {% for notice in notices %}
            {% if notice.is_unseen %}
                <tr class="unseen_notice">
            {% else %}
                <tr class="notice">
            {% endif %}
                <td class="notice_type">[{% trans notice.notice_type.display %}]</td>
                <td class="notice_message">{{ notice.message|safe }}</td>
                <td class="notice_time">{{ notice.added|timesince }} {% trans "ago" %}</td>
            </tr>
        {% endfor %}
    </tbody>
</table>

As @googletorp answered, Pinax is the goto place for figuring out how the authors are using django-notification. In particular, there is a notification administration page that can serve as a handy guide.

Answer 2

Tale a look at Pinax the source can be found on github. They use notifications a lot for their project site http://code.pinaxproject.com .

Edit:
I just gave it a look. It seems all that Pinax does to make it work is to list it in installed apps before any the other external apps and include it's urls file like you usually would do.
