django-vkontakte-iframe 0.4

django-vkontakte-iframe is a Django app for developing vk.com (aka vkontakte.ru largest, Russian social network) iframe applications.

Handles user authentication and registration.

Installation

pip install django-vkontakte-iframe

Optional:

 * vkontakte >= 0.9.4.1 for populating cities and countries info via admin action
 * django-webtest >= 1.2.2 for tests

Usage

 1. Register and configure vkontakte iframe application here: http://vkontakte.ru/apps.php?act=add
 2. Add your app's settings to settings.py:

 VK_APP_ID = '1234567' # Application ID
 VK_APP_KEY = 'M1gytuHwni' # Application key
 VK_APP_SECRET = 'MiRFwrDYwcYFCTD18EcY' # Secure key

 3. Add 'vk_iframe' to INSTALLED_APPS
 4. Add 'vk_iframe.backends.VkontakteUserBackend' to AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS:

 AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
 'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
 'vk_iframe.backends.VkontakteUserBackend',
 )

 5. Put 'vk_iframe.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware' and 'vk_iframe.middleware.LoginRequiredMiddleware' to the end of MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES:

 MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = [
 # ...
 'vk_iframe.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
 'vk_iframe.middleware.LoginRequiredMiddleware',
 ]

 Vkontakte visitors will be automatically registered and authorized as django users (username == vkontakte user id).

 LoginRequiredMiddleware is an optional. It returns 403 for all unauthorized requests with urls not listed in settings.PUBLIC_URLS. You should enable it for security reasons. Example of PUBLIC_URLS:

 PUBLIC_URLS = [
 '^admin/$',
 '^my-callback/',
 ]

 6. Run python ./manage.py syncdb (or python ./manage.py migrate vk_iframe if South is used)
 7. Optional: load initial geo data (cities and countries):

 python manage loaddata vk-geo

 8. If you want to store more user data then put the following line as the 'First API request' ('Первый �·апрос к API') option (in your app edit page at vkontakte.ru):

 method=getProfiles&uids={viewer_id}&format=json&v=3.0&fields=uid,first_name,last_name,nickname,domain,sex,bdate,city,country,
timezone,photo,photo_medium,photo_big,has_mobile,rate,contacts,education

 9. That's all. All your app's visitors are now registered and authenticated django users. Additional profile data is available as user.vk_profile.
