Facebook Authentication Backend
Authentication through Facebook's Graph API. See [http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/](http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/) [http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/permissions](http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/permissions) [http://developers.facebook.com/docs/api](http://developers.facebook.com/docs/api) [http://github.com/facebook/python-sdk/blob/master/examples/oauth/facebookoauth.py](http://github.com/facebook/python-sdk/blob/master/examples/oauth/facebookoauth.py) Define the facebook tokens in settings.py and replace <app_name> with the name of your app. You will probably want to modify the scope on the authorize link in the template, see the authentication permissions link. This updates the user model every time the user logs in but I think that it is okay so the data is always correct. I have tested this but not rigorously. If there is a hole and everyone gets admin rights to your site don't say I didn't warn you :). Comments are appreciated. 16 June 2010 Added missing imports. Cleaned up the template. Shouts out to @obeattie and @whalesalad

login on activation with django-registration
Here's a signal handler to log a user in on registration activation. It took me an hour to figure out that I needed to put the user.backend in quotes and google wasn't being my friend. from [the django-registration documentation](http://docs.b-list.org/django-registration/0.8/faq.html): How do I log a user in immediately after registration or activation? You can most likely do this simply by writing a function which listens for the appropriate signal; your function should set the backend attribute of the user to the correct authentication backend, and then call django.contrib.auth.login() to log the user in.

Strip Google Analytics cookies for caching middleware purposes
You may notice that using Google Analytics's 'urchin' with the CacheMiddleware and SessionMiddleware or AuthenticationMiddleware middleware classes means that nothing is ever cached. Google Analytics updates its cookies with every page view, and the Auth/Session middlewares add cookies to the caching engine's 'Vary' list. This means every page view is given a unique cache key. This middleware class will remove urchin's '__utmX' cookies from the request object before it hits the caching middleware. Put it at the top of your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES in settings.py. nf / [email protected]

Nice form errors
Nicely output all form errors in one block, using field labels rather than the field attribute names.

Render arbitrary models - template tag
This template tag provides an easy way to render objects in your template, even if you don't know ahead of time what type they are. For example, if you've got a search page with a result list comprised of objects from various models, you can simply loop through them and render them using the tag. The tag will choose the best template and render the object for you. The tag's docstring has all the details. I hope you find this as useful as I have. Questions, comments, complaints welcome.

Email or username authentication with masquerading
This backend will allow you to have users login using either their username or the email address as it is in the User model. In addition, it will allow anyone with the staff priveleges to login as another user. The method is to user the user you wish to masquerade as (either email/username) as the username and then a string of the format *username*/*password* as the password, where *username* is the username of the staff member, and *password* is their password.

LoginAsForm - Login as any User without a password
Sometimes the only way to reproduce a bug on a production site is to login as the User who encountered it. This form allows you to login as any user on the site. **Usage** @staff_member_required def login_as(request, template="login_as.html"): data = request.POST or None form = LoginAsForm(data, request=request) if form.is_valid() form.save() return HttpResponseRedirect(settings.LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL) ...

Template context debugger with (I)Pdb
This allows you to set up a breakpoint anywhere in your template code, by simply writing {% pdb_debug %}. You can then access your context variables using context.get(..) at the pdb prompt. Optionally, install the ipdb package for colors, completion, and more (easy_install ipdb).

Absolute URL Templatetag
The {% url %} templatetag is awesome sometimes it is useful to get the full blown URL with the domain name - for instance for links in emails. The **{% absurl %}** templatetag mirrors the behaviour of {% url %} but inserts absolute URLs with the domain of the current Site object. Usage: {% absurl viewname %} >>> http://www.example.org/my/view/

Choices class
Yet another class to simplify field choices creation. Keeps order, allows i18n. Before: ONLINE = 0 OFFLINE = 1 STATES = ( (ONLINE, _('online')), (OFFLINE, _('offline')) ) state = models.IntegerField(choices=STATES, default=OFFLINE) After: STATES = Choices( ('ONLINE', _('online')), ('OFFLINE', _('offline')) ) state = models.IntegerField(choices=STATES, default=STATES.OFFLINE)
