A port of the php library genus (http://code.google.com/p/genusapis/) for the (Dutch) social network site Hyves
It consists of 3 parts:
- genus, genus.oauth (namespace) the port of the library
- social, a basic django implementation including some decorators who are the projects equivolent of login_required
- example, a small django project using this.
One important remark for people who want to integrate this with their own projects or want to play with the example project:
don't forget to create a hyves api consumer_key and secret. You also need to do this for the example project.
To play with the example, install the additional packages as specified in the conf/requirements.txt file
(i.e. run pip install -r conf/requirements.txt). Make sure you have an api key and modify the settings
file accordingly. Look in the settings file for CONSUMER_KEY and CONSUMER_SECRET. Next, set CONSUMER_METHODS
to the right values. This works slightly different if you are a campaign on hyves site and your site is called
with a special request token, in that case, hyves will determine the methods you will have access to.
After this only three more steps need to be taken:
- run
python manage.py syncdb - run
python manage.py migrate - run
python manage.py runserverand you are up and running.
One more thing, please set current site to the right domain in via the django admin.
Some tips for integrating the django enabled social part of this package with your own project:
- check the urls.py of the example project. The urls are sometimes named and code is referring to those names (for reverse lookup purposes), so make sure you don't change the names
- add FLOW_REDIRECT_URL to your settings file
- add CONSUMER_METHODS to your settings file as an array of strings. This will be used when loging in without a hyves generated logintoken (the flow you probably will have when you are not running in an iframe).
- Note:
- the flow with a popup enabled authorization is not fully tested (since we never had the need for it).
