LINKEDIN_CONSUMER_KEY             = ''
LINKEDIN_CONSUMER_SECRET          = ''
ORKUT_CONSUMER_KEY                = ''
ORKUT_CONSUMER_SECRET             = ''

SOCIAL_AUTH_CREATE_USERS          = True
SOCIAL_AUTH_FORCE_RANDOM_USERNAME = False
SOCIAL_AUTH_DEFAULT_USERNAME      = 'socialauth_user'
SOCIAL_AUTH_COMPLETE_URL_NAME     = 'socialauth_complete'
LOGIN_ERROR_URL                   = '/login/error/'
#SOCIAL_AUTH_USER_MODEL            = 'app.CustomUser'

GITHUB_API_SECRET                 = ''
FOURSQUARE_CONSUMER_KEY           = ''
FOURSQUARE_CONSUMER_SECRET        = ''

this is my settings.py

from os.path import abspath, dirname, basename, join

    sys.path.insert(0, "..")

try:
    from local_settings import *
except:
    pass

I have the same problem as the user tries to rename local_settings.py to local_settings_template.py and does not work and vice versa. This user does not know how to resolved this problem, do not know how to contact you to ask. if someone could test the sample to see if has the same problem would help me a lot.

Answer 1

I was able to get twitter working with the following modifications

settings.py:

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
    'social_auth.backends.google.TwitterBackend',
)

SOCIAL_AUTH_ENABLED_BACKENDS = ('twitter',)

TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY              = 'xxx' 
TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET           = 'yyy' 

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.sites',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'social_auth',
)

urls.py:

url(r'', include('social_auth.urls')),

Of course this is needed:

% python manage.py syncdb

To test this directly with Twitter (without configuring any other pieces of your project/application), simply browse to /login/twitter and you should go through the authentication dance, your user will be added to the database and you'll be redirected (to a non-existent URL, but you'll have the user information).

From there you should be able to get it working with your system.
