django-notification | user notification management for the Django web | Notification library

Here I am using an api of notifications. here is the reference of that api link. I have follow the instructions given on the github read me file. But when i try to send an email by actor to recipient .it shows me the error 'int' object has no attribute '_meta'. The actor field and recipient both accept user_ids and I have put them manually. But still didn't work.

profiles/Views.py

I ham trying to hide the notification count when it's 0 in django-notifications-hq I have tried the below method but it is not updating regularly and displaying the number correctly.

I am using django-notifications-hq package link of django-notifications-hq and getting error:

Cannot assign "": "Notification.recipient" must be a "User" instance.

my custom user model:

I'm using django-notifications-hq to display notifications in the top navbar of the website, which happens to be located in the base template file, base.html. I have a small button in the navbar to set notifications to read but I'm having trouble sending the POST request to the views.py. Is there a way to send this POST request from anywhere on the website to a specific function in views.py? I've read about context processors but that only seems to help in opposite scenarios when you want to send data from views to the base template file.

Function in views.py I want to send a POST request to from base.html:

Ive changed certain parts of my admin page and played around extending the templates (so I have the file structure set up and working). I now want to go a bit further.

I want to add a column next to the 'recent activity' column on the admin page which would list all the most recent django-notifications the admin has received.

I am guessing I'd extend the base.html and add my notifications there. My first question is is this the best place to do this?

The next, bigger thing is that I would need to modify the original views.py file to do this. Surely this isnt a good idea? Poking around in the Django Admin views.py sounds like a terrible idea and makes me think that this kind of thing shouldnt be done, however id still like to know for sure before I give up on it.

I can find information on adding views to Django Admin, but nothing on adding content like this to the admin front page.

Thank you.

I am working with django-notification and I am trying to fetch and display the notifications on my angular app. So how should I fetch the data from the backend to make it real-time? Should I periodically fetch data using something like setTimeout? or is there a better way to do this in angular?
