Working example for SubscriberList.custom_list

[tehfink]

Thanks for a cool project.

The code shows a custom_list field as choices from CAMPAIGN_CUSTOM_SUBSCRIBER_LISTS on the SubscriberList model:
https://github.com/arneb/django-.campaign/blob/a861c8cb7384b00c30c84600e3f523e624a02dae/campaign/models.py#L67C1-L68C1

However, when passing a standard Python list I get errors like this:

'list' object is not callable` error in `campaign/forms.py, line 35, in clean
…
if custom_list:  # Check if the defined module does exist and can be initialized, if not throw a hard exception instead of only adding an error
    import_string(custom_list)() 

It seems a Python list isn't intended here for custom_list? Could you give a working example of how it should perform?
For example, I would like to pass in simply a list of email addresses, unconnected to a user model.

@tehfink

the documentation for the settings has the following (incomplete) example:

CAMPAIGN_CUSTOM_SUBSCRIBER_LISTS = [("myproject.newsletter.recipients.CustomRecipientList", "Custom recipient List"),]

In this case the CustomRecipientList would be something like this:

class CustomRecipient(object):
    # wrapper class around email addresses ... used below in object_list method
    def __init__(self, emailaddress):
        self.email = emailaddress  # enter 'email' in email_field_name of the SubscriberList object

class CustomRecipientList(object):
    # dotted path to this class is configured in settings.CAMPAIGN_CUSTOM_SUBSCRIBER_LISTS
    recipients = ["[email protected]", "[email protected]"]  # this is your simple list of addresses - only line you need to change - if it's dynamic at runtime add the code to the object_list method below
    def object_count(self):
        return len(self.recipients)
    def object_list(self):
        return [CustomRecipient(email) for email in self.recipients]

Cool, thanks! I'll try it out 👍
