NAME Django Twitter Auth -- use Twitter for authentication in Django SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION Twitter now supports OAuth, so django-twitterauth has been rewritten to support this better authentication flow. It is well documented elsewhere so I will not be going into detail here. The app supplies views to handle the login flow, a user info page and a *basic* User model. Mad props to Henrik Lied for the initial Django implementation of Twitter OAuth. I used his utils.py file almost verbatim in creating this app. INSTALLATION Clone/download and place in the root of your Django project: $ cd $YOUR_DJANGO_PROJECT $ git clone git://github.com/rcrowley/django-twitterauth.git auth $ echo auth >> .gitignore You'll need to add this app to your settings.py file in the INSTALLED_APPS section. You'll also need these two extra lines: TWITTERAUTH_KEY = 'OH HAI' TWITTERAUTH_SECRET = 'OH NOES' Setup the URLs for the auth app. The names of the URLs are required. For example: url(r'^info/?$', 'auth.views.info', name='auth_info'), url(r'^login/?$', 'auth.views.login', name='auth_login'), url(r'^login/callback/?$', 'auth.views.callback', name='auth_callback'), url(r'^logout/?$', 'auth.views.logout', name='auth_logout'), Again, the names of the URLs are required. I chose not to create auth/urls.py because URLs like /auth/login et cetera seems awful. Make sure to run `python manage.py syncdb` to create the User model.
