aidanlister / django-facebook Goto Github PK

I used pip to install django-facebook. I have the following settings:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
'django_facebook.middleware.FacebookMiddleware',
):

INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'south',
'feeds',
'login_feeds',
'readhistory',
'django_facebook',
)

I get this error when running the server:

ImproperlyConfigured: Module "django_facebook.middleware" does not define a "FacebookMiddleware" attribute/class

I also tried in shell:

windmaple@windmaple-VirtualBox:~/git/master$ ./manage.py shell
No handlers could be found for logger "django_facebook.models"

from django_facebook import middleware
middleware.FacebookMiddleware
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'FacebookMiddleware'

What am I doing wrong?

I get this error

Error importing middleware django_facebook.middleware: "No module named facebook"

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
'django_facebook.middleware.FacebookMiddleware',
)

I notice that for a currently logged in facebook user, every request to the server (whether for an entire new page or just for a part of a page such as a gif), we trigger process_request in middleware.py. Because we:

1. have a valid facebook cookie
2. request.user is anonymous

This then authenticates the user in the backend and sets request.user = user. Upon a new GET request to the server, we recognize request.user = anonymous once again and repeat the process.

Is there a convenient way to avoid repeated calls to the authentication backend and save request.user = user per page load? I'd imagine I can set some extra session variable so that I don't repeatedly need to call the auth framework, but is there a better way to have the fact that the user is logged in via facebook and request.user persist?

Let me know if that doesn't make sense.

Pleas add a MANIFEST.in file that includes your templates dir. Otherwise the won't be installed when using python setup.py install!

You don't have any requirements specified, though you import facebook in middleware.py. Which one is it?!

Hi,

I changed the FacebookMiddleware to call auth.login() method instead to set request.user with the user variable, because all time that the view is loaded the authenticate method is call again.

I hope helped :)

Hey,

could you please add a LICENSE file so it's obvious how one can use your project?

Cheers,
Pascal

When I follow your installation I got this error 'module' object has no attribute 'get_user_from_cookie' any help please?
