Django Facebook by Thierry Schellenbach (http://www.mellowmorning.com)

Login and registration functionality using the new facebook open graph api.

  • Actually creates user models and profiles

  • django-registration
  • django-notify

Additional dependencies

  • python-cjson

Implementation

Step 1 - Settings

Define the settings in django_facebook/settings.py in your settings.py file.

Step 2 - Url config

add

url(r'^facebook/', include('django_facebook.urls')),

to your global url.py file.

Step 3 - Ensure the FB JS api is available on all pages you want to login

Facebook JS API

Step 4 - Update your models

Create a profile model from FacebookProfileModel from django-facebook/models.py.

Add a post_save signal handler for django.contrib.auth.models.User like:

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
def create_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
    if created == True:
        try:
            YourProfileModel.objects.get(user=instance)
        except:
            profile = YourProfileModel(user=instance)
            profile.save()
post_save.connect(create_profile, sender=User)

In settings.py assign your model name to AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE then specify the facebook authentication backend:

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
    'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
    'django_facebook.auth_backends.FacebookBackend',
)

Step 5 - Template

See examples/connect.html.
