Hi,

I am writing a django website using django-allauth for facebook authentication.

When I sign into facebook(after giving username and passwd) from my local development server( `<`http://127.0.0.1:8001/gallery/`>` ) I get following error:

***************
Social Network Login Failure

An error occurred while attempting to login via your social network account.
***************

and url in browser while on this error is http://localhost:8001/gallery/accounts/facebook/login/callback/.

Settings:

Facebook.com app setting:
AppId =XXX(not shown)
APP secret =xxx(not shown)

Wbsite:Site URL = http://localhost:8001/gallery/accounts/facebook/login/callback/

Django setting(local):

LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = 'http://localhost:8001/gallery/accounts/facebook/login/callback/'

    SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS = {
     'facebook': {
                'SCOPE': ['email', 'publish_stream'],
                'AUTH_PARAMS': { 'auth_type': 'reauthenticate' },
                'METHOD': 'oauth2' # instead of 'oauth2'
     }
    }

ACCOUNT_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL = '/gallery'
SOCIALACCOUNT_QUERY_EMAIL = True
SOCIALACCOUNT_AUTO_SIGNUP = True
ACCOUNT_EMAIL_VERIFICATION = False

and my base.html template is (not full):
<body>
                 {% load url from future %}
                 {% load socialaccount %}
                 {% if request.user.is_authenticated %}
                     <a href="{% url 'account_logout' %}">Logout</a>
                 {% else %}
                     <a href="{% url 'account_signup' %}">Sign Up</a>
                     <a href="{% url 'account_login' %}">Log in</a>
                     <a href="{% provider_login_url 'facebook' method='oauth2' %}">
                     Sign Up/Login with Facebook</a>
                 {% endif %}
</body>




When I am error page http://localhost:8001/gallery/accounts/facebook/login/callback/ it says I am logged in (i.e. displays Logout and user is authenticated).

Any Idea why this happens? Any help will be appreciated.

My guess is because FB can't redirect to a localhost URL. You could probably use something like no-ip.org and setup a reachable URL.

HTH,

facebook can indeed redirect to localhost, I've done it before, the problem is:

1 - you need to use localhost, 12.7.0.0.1 won't work

2 - you need a separate app id for that, just create a general one for localhost development

When developing against Facebook, I find it easiest to create a localhost DNS entry emulating the domain registered in the FB app itself. So, if you're on Mac:

sudo vi /etc/hosts

and enter:

127.0.0.1 somedomain.com

And then:

./manage.py runserver somedomain.com:8080

Then just pull up somedomain.com:8080 in your browser and you'll be running a local dev site that FB sees as the production site, so your apps will work.

No such hassle with Twitter or Google.
