        Configuration
        -----
        
        For the complete API reference, check the project's wiki: <https://github.com/PressLabs/silver/wiki>.
        
        To run Silver automatically, you will have to setup a cron which calls the ``generate_documents`` Django command.
        
        For creating the PDF templates, Silver uses the built-in templating engine of
        Django <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/templates/#the-django-template-language>. 
        The template variables that are available in the context of the template are:
        
            * ``name``
            * ``unit``
            * ``subscription``
            * ``plan``
            * ``provider``
            * ``customer``
            * ``product_code``
            * ``start_date``
            * ``end_date``
            * ``prorated``
            * ``proration_percentage``
            * ``metered_feature``
            * ``context``
        
        For specifying the storage used add the ``SILVER_DOCUMENT_STORAGE`` setting to 
        your settings file. Example for storing the PDFs on S3:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            SILVER_DOCUMENT_STORAGE = (
                'storages.backends.s3boto.S3BotoStorage', [], {
                    'bucket': 'THE-AWS-BUCKET',
                    'access_key': 'YOUR-AWS-ACCESS-KEY',
                    'secret_key': 'YOUR-AWS-SECRET-KEY',
                    'acl': 'private',
                    'calling_format': 'boto.s3.connection.OrdinaryCallingFormat'
                }
            )
        
        Other available settings:
        
            * ``SILVER_DEFAULT_DUE_DAYS`` - the default number of days until an invoice is due for payment.
            * ``SILVER_DOCUMENT_PREFIX`` - it gets prepended to the path of the saved files.
              The default path of the documents is ``{prefix}{company}/{doc_type}/{date}/{filename}``
        
        
        To add REST hooks to Silver you can install and configure the following packages:
        
            * <https://github.com/PressLabs/django-rest-hooks-ng>
            * <https://github.com/PressLabs/django-rest-hooks-delivery>
