Randomly adding messages to the Django messages framework
In a Django project I have a space in the templates to show the messages
coming from the Django messages framework. I would like to use that
framework to show some messages that are not triggered by user actions in
some views but instead are set by an app. Ideally my app will decide when
it is best to send the messages but initially it will be random. An
example to clarify a bit; I don't want to send the typical message related
to an action like 'you have successfully updated your profile'. Instead I
would like to recommend some content from times to times, something like
'you might be interested by spam'. The content ('spam' in this case) is
provided by some objects in the database that another app gathers already.
I was wondering how I can set a message outside of the typical view. I was
thinking about implementing a middleware that would be called on every
request and setting the message in the process-request() class if this
particular user has been marked to receive any.
Is it the even a good idea to begin with?
