How to Add Social Login to Django

pre test notes

1. disable 'test_social.middleware.ForwardHQMiddleware'
2. reset LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = '/tsoc' or to wherever you want it to land
3. set SOCIAL_AUTH_URL_NAMESPACE = 'social'
4. DON'T use localhost if you plan on using twitter, twitter doesn't like it

error in login

stackoverflow desc

change: path('login/', views.login, name='login') path('login/', views.LoginView.as_view(template_name="registration/login.django"), name='login')

when making callback urls

• you can use localhost

• you can also specify a port on localhost, e.g. http://localhost:8026

• you can also use minyanfinder.stg or any .stg

• make sure to specify the "u" letter in oauth

• make sure to add the final forward slash "/" at the end of the callback url

minyanfinder.stg/oauth/complete/twitter/

global variables

global variables should be in settings.py

local info like the specific client id/secret key, etc, should be in the local setting sfiles

test_social should only be activated in the local setting files

twitter notes

1. you want to either use http or https, be specific
2. twitter does not use localhost and forwardhq is buggy
3. twitter DOES register 127.0.0.1:8026 as a callback
