Question

I have problem in connecting with Facebook backend of django-social-auth. I have created a Facebook app and in my project setting, I have provided its settings:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'social_auth'
) 

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = [
    "account.auth_backends.AuthenticationBackend",  
    'social_auth.backends.facebook.FacebookBackend',
    'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
]

LOGIN_URL = "/"
LOGIN_REDIRECT_URLNAME = "home"
LOGOUT_URL = "/"

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    ...
    url(r'', include('social_auth.urls')),
    ...
)

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
    ...
    'social_auth.context_processors.social_auth_by_type_backends',
)

SOCIAL_AUTH_EXPIRATION = 'expires'

FACEBOOK_APP_ID = '***************'
FACEBOOK_API_SECRET = '**************'
FACEBOOK_EXTENDED_PERMISSIONS = ['email', 'user_birthday', 'user_photos']

In 'Site Url' of my app on Facebook I have provided IP of my PC. Now when I connect with Facebook through my IP with my own account then it works fine. But when I try to connect with some other Facebook account then it give the error on permissions page: "Sorry, something went wrong.We're working on getting this fixed as soon as we can." Can someone has any idea?

Was it helpful?

Solution 2

For Facebook backend of django-social-auth to work properly then runserver on your IP instead of running on localhost.

OTHER TIPS

In Facebook each app has certain permissions for Facebook Users, you are the lead developer, you can add testers and what not, Its on the app configuration interface.
