Slow e-mail

[Dean-Christian-Armada]

The contact-form is slow to react when sending e-mails. Seems like it is synchronous. Is there an available setting to make it asynchronous?

This is something that is not supported out of the box.

You should subclass FormBuilder form and implement your own .email_submission() method and then simply override form_class in FormSubmission view by defining your own URL.

#urls.py
from django.conf.urls import url
from djangocms_forms.views import FormSubmission
from project.forms import AsyncFormBuilder  # <= custom form

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^forms/submit/$', FormSubmission.as_view(form_class=AsyncFormBuilder), name='djangocms_forms_submissions'),
]

Let me know if the above suggestion solves your issue, so I can close this.

Hello mishbahr,

Great package you have here, it's really helpful. I'll try your solution above please don't close this issue yet as I might add a solution of mine as well for others to use

Hi guys,

Just in case you encountered this, my solution was to use django celery's backend email(django-celery-email). By that, e-mail will be sending asynchronously and you don't need to configure anything related to this plugin..

But I would suggest to @mishbahr , to make an option at least to make the e-mail asynchronously sent. Using the code below:

import threading

class EmailThread(threading.Thread):
    '''
    @brief      Avoids the usual delay on the backend when sending an e-mail
    '''

    def __init__(self, subject, body, from_email, recipient_list,
                 fail_silently, html_message):
        self.subject = subject
        self.body = body
        self.recipient_list = recipient_list
        self.from_email = from_email
        self.fail_silently = fail_silently
        self.html_message = html_message
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)

    def run(self):
        msg = EmailMultiAlternatives(self.subject, self.body, self.from_email,
                                     self.recipient_list)
        if self.html_message:
            msg.attach_alternative(self.html_message, "text/html")
        msg.send(self.fail_silently)

def send_mail(subject, body, from_email, recipient_list, fail_silently=False,
              html_message=None, *args, **kwargs):
    '''
    @brief
        - to replace django send mail which is synchronous and costs time
        in the process
    '''

    from . classes import EmailThread  # to avoid import conflict in model
    EmailThread(subject, body, from_email, recipient_list, fail_silently,
                html_message).start()

send_mail('Sample Subject', 'Sample Body', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', fail_silently=False, html_message='<h1>Hello World</h1>')

Thumbs up with this plug-in by the way!
