Canvas Page signature parsing and authentication (If your building facebook apps)
Works best with
--------

django auth
TODO (help appreciated)
--------
testing (especially a dummy FB api)
separate user data conversion and FB api improvements
fully replace the facebook GraphAPI which they no longer support
New in Version 2.0 Alpha
--------
canvas page support for facebook applications
mobile facebook registration support (tested with titanium FB flow)
less requirements (jinja, view decorator, django notify and cjson requirements removed)
fql support
Installing
--------
Step 0 - Create a facebook app
In case you don't yet have a facebook app. You need an app to use the open graph api and make the login process work.
You can create a facebook app at this url:
http://www.facebook.com/developers/createapp.php
Step 1 - Settings:
Define the settings mentioned in django_facebook/settings.py in your settings.py file
Step 2 - Url config:
add
(r'^facebook/', include('django_facebook.urls')),
to your global url file
Step 3 - Template Context Processor
add this line to your context processors
'django_facebook.context_processors.facebook',
Step 3 - Ensure the FB JS api is available on all pages you want to login
[Facebook JS API](http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/)
Step 4 - Update your models
Add to your user profile model
about_me = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)
facebook_id = models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True)
facebook_name = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True)
facebook_profile_url = framework_fields.URLTextField(blank=True, null=True)
website_url = framework_fields.URLTextField(blank=True, null=True)
blog_url = framework_fields.URLTextField(blank=True, null=True)
image = models.ImageField(blank=True, null=True)
date_of_birth = models.DateField(blank=True, null=True)
Step 5 - Template
See examples/connect.html
Django Jobs
--------
Do you also see the beauty in clean code? Are you experienced with high scalability web apps?
Currently we're looking for additional talent over at our Amsterdam office.
