Configuration
-------------

Most providers require you to sign up for a so called API client or app, containing a client ID and API secret.

When creating the OAuth app on the side of the provider pay special attention to the callback URL (sometimes also referred to as redirect URL).

Use a callback URL of the form::

    http://example.com/admin/connected_accounts/account/callback/<provider_name>/


Disqus
=======

Register your OAuth2 app here: http://disqus.com/api/applications/ ::

    CONNECTED_ACCOUNTS_DISQUS_CONSUMER_KEY = '<disqus_client_id>'
    CONNECTED_ACCOUNTS_DISQUS_CONSUMER_SECRET = '<disqus_client_secret>'

By default, ``read`` and ``write`` scope is enabled ::

    CONNECTED_ACCOUNTS_DISQUS_SCOPE = ['read', 'write', ]

The available permissions for the scope value are ``read``, ``write``, ``email``, and ``admin``.

Facebook
========

A key and secret key can be obtained by creating an app at https://developers.facebook.com/apps ::

    CONNECTED_ACCOUNTS_FACEBOOK_CONSUMER_KEY = '<facebook_consumer_key>'
    CONNECTED_ACCOUNTS_FACEBOOK_CONSUMER_SECRET = '<facebook_consumer_secret>'

By default, ``email``, ``public_profile`` and ``user_friends`` is enabled, apps using other permissions require review by Facebook::

    CONNECTED_ACCOUNTS_FACEBOOK_SCOPE = ['email', 'public_profile', 'user_friends']

Use ``FACEBOOK_AUTH_PARAMS`` to pass along other parameters to the Facebook API::

    CONNECTED_ACCOUNTS_FACEBOOK_AUTH_PARAMS = {'auth_type': 'reauthenticate'}

Google
======

The Google provider is OAuth2 based. Create a google app to obtain a key and secret through the developer console https://console.developers.google.com/ ::

    CONNECTED_ACCOUNTS_GOOGLE_CONSUMER_KEY = '<google_client_id>'
    CONNECTED_ACCOUNTS_GOOGLE_CONSUMER_SECRET = '<google_client_secret>'

By default, ``profile`` and ``email`` scope is enabled::

    CONNECTED_ACCOUNTS_GOOGLE_SCOPE = ['profile', 'email']

By default *Offline Access* request is enabled::

    CONNECTED_ACCOUNTS_GOOGLE_AUTH_PARAMS = {'access_type': 'offline'}

See https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2WebServer#offline for more information.


Twitter
=======

You can register an app on Twitter via https://apps.twitter.com/app/new ::

    CONNECTED_ACCOUNTS_TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY = '<twitter_consumer_key>'
    CONNECTED_ACCOUNTS_TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET = '<twitter_consumer_secret>'


Instagram
=========

Register your OAuth app here: https://instagram.com/developer/clients/register/ ::

    CONNECTED_ACCOUNTS_INSTAGRAM_CONSUMER_KEY = '<instagram_client_id>'
    CONNECTED_ACCOUNTS_INSTAGRAM_CONSUMER_SECRET = '<instagram_client_secret>'


Usage
-----

By defining one (or many) ``AccountField`` on a custom model you can take advantage of connected accounts in your custom applications.

Quickstart
==========

You need to define a AccountField on the model you would like to use::


    from django.db import models
    from connected_accounts.fields import AccountField

    class MyModel(models.Model):
        account = AccountField('twitter')

        [...]

The ``AccountField`` takes a string as first argument which will be used to limit choices for accounts available for the given field.

Admin Integration
=================

To provide admin support for a model with a ``AccountField`` in your application’s admin, you need to use the mixin ``ConnectedAccountAdminMixin`` along with the ModelAdmin. Note that the ``ConnectedAccountAdminMixin`` must precede the ModelAdmin in the class definition::

    from django.contrib import admin
    from connected_accounts.admin import ConnectedAccountAdminMixin

    from myapp.models import MyModel


    class MyModelAdmin(ConnectedAccountAdminMixin, admin.ModelAdmin):
        pass

    admin.site.register(MyModel, MyModelAdmin)
