### How to Add Social Login to Django
[How to Add Social Login to Django](https://simpleisbetterthancomplex.com/tutorial/2016/10/24/how-to-add-social-login-to-django.html)

#### 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](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46975657/attributeerror-module-django-contrib-auth-views-has-no-attribute-login)

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


### facebook notes

1. can use localhost
2. minaynfinder.stg is not working, need a certificate of some kind
3. forwardhq also not working

#### using a domain

##### create registered users

Go to Roles->Test Users

##### create the ssl
1. set a registered domain name to point at the ip address (ie ronnyabraham.com)
2. create a [https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/openssl-essentials-working-with-ssl-certificates-private-keys-and-csrs#generating-ssl-certificates](crt certificate)

3. `Settings->Basic-> App Domains` add `ronnyabraham.com`
4. `Settings->Basic->Website/Site URL` add `https://ronnyabraham.com`
5. in Products->FacebookLogin->Settings add the following to "VAlid OAuth Redirect URIs"

- https://ronnyabraham.com
- https://ronnyabraham.com/oauth/complete/facebook/

6. use letsencrypt to create ssl keys


### setting up facebook

1. if used for testing make sure you set the app FOR TESTING you have to do this in the create app stage

2. [select create test app from the app you like](https://imgur.com/RzK3pS3)

3. go to settings->basic get the app-id and app-secret

4. go to Settings-Basic-App Domains and add your FQDN (ie. mycrustyass.com)

5. go to Settings-Basic-Website (it's near the bottom, add website if it isn't there), add the site URL with it's prefix ie http or https.

Step 5 is VERY IMPORTANT b/c facebook doesn't recognize http prefix.
You must have SSL set up.  But this is NOT the caes with localhost!

6. in Settings-Products add Facebook Login then set Web OAuth Login to true
7.  Settings-Products-Facebook Login add Valid OAuth redirect calls.  

Important!  You must find out what the specific redirect call looks like.  Once again, facebook doesn't require this for localhost, but for a named host it does

e.g. https://mycrustyass.com/oauth/complete/facebook/

8. test this URL in the Settings-Products-FAcebook Login-Redirect URL Validator
