Michele, When is get_user() called during the login or account creation process?
Background: I use a custom login method which leverages a Web service to authenticate a user. The authentication Web service only returns a pass/fail value. I need to use a second Web service to pull user account information, such as first and last name. I'd like to set up a get_user method which would call this second Web service to populate the user name. To do that, I need to pull the 'username' variable, I suppose from the auth object? I appreciate your help. --Scott On Aug 10, 8:42 am, Michele Comitini <[email protected]> wrote: > Just return a dictionary with the properties you defined in the auth > table in db.py. > > For instance to use facebook with oauth20_account you need to override > get_user() method in the OAuthAccount class as you need. > Below is how I implement it for the test application > onhttp://grafbook.appspot.com/helloFacebook > > You can find the code of the example > here:http://code.google.com/r/michelecomitini-facebookaccess/source/browse... > > the important parts in db.py: > > . > . > . > auth_table = db.define_table( > auth.settings.table_user_name, > Field('first_name', length=128, default=""), > Field('last_name', length=128, default=""), > Field('username', length=128, default="", unique=True), > Field('password', 'password', length=256, > readable=False, label='Password'), > Field('registration_key', length=128, default= "", > writable=False, readable=False)) > > auth_table.username.requires = IS_NOT_IN_DB(db, auth_table.username) > > auth.define_tables() # creates all needed tables > > . > . > . > > import sys, os > path = os.path.join(request.folder, 'modules') > if not path in sys.path: > sys.path.append(path) > from fbappauth import CLIENT_ID,CLIENT_SECRET > from facebook import GraphAPI > from gluon.contrib.login_methods.oauth20_account import OAuthAccount > > class FaceBookAccount(OAuthAccount): > """OAuth impl for FaceBook""" > AUTH_URL="https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize"; > TOKEN_URL="https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token"; > > def __init__(self, g): > OAuthAccount.__init__(self, g, CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, > self.AUTH_URL, self.TOKEN_URL) > self.graph = None > > def get_user(self): > '''Returns the user using the Graph API. > ''' > > if not self.accessToken(): > return None > > if not self.graph: > self.graph = GraphAPI((self.accessToken())) > > user = None > try: > user = self.graph.get_object("me") > except GraphAPIError: > self.session.token = None > self.graph = None > > if user: > return dict(first_name = user['first_name'], > last_name = user['last_name'], > username = user['id']) > > auth.settings.login_form=FaceBookAccount(globals()) > > 2010/8/9 Matt <[email protected]>: > > > > > I have acustomlogin method.
