Import Gmail Contacts (Resolved)

[toxicafunk]

Hi,

I'm using Pinax 0.7b2 on Ubuntu 9.04 (python 2.6) and I've been
getting a NonAuthSubToken exception when importing contacts from Gmail
on a project based on the social_project. I have finally managed to
get it working by changing code on authsub.views.login and on
friends_app.importer.import_google so I'm wondering if anyone else is
having the same problem or if its a bug specific to my system.

Anyway, in case anyone's interested (the original code is commented
with '#'):

# on authsub.views.login:
# add token to session for now
# request.session['authsub_token'] = request.GET["token"]
single_use_token = gdata.auth.extract_auth_sub_token_from_url
(get_full_url(request))
request.session['authsub_token'] = single_use_token

# then on friends_app.importer.import_google :
#contacts_service.auth_token = authsub_token
contacts_service.UpgradeToSessionToken(authsub_token)

Cheers,

I also have the same error and a similar jaunty/0.7b2 scenario. When
I comment the two lines that you suggest I get no tracebacks or errors
but I never get the "import" button either. i have tried all
permutation of one or the other.

I just tried it and it works for me so let's retrace:

1. Copy the authsub app from [PINAX_HOME]/src/pinax/pinax/apps/authsub
to [YOUR_PROJECT_HOME]/apps/authsub
2. modify [YOUR_PROJECT_HOME]/apps/authsub/views 'login' method by
replacing:

request.session['authsub_token'] = request.GET["token"]

with the following two lines:

single_use_token = gdata.auth.extract_auth_sub_token_from_url
(get_full_url(request))
request.session['authsub_token'] = single_use_token

3. copy friends_app from [PROJECTS_HOME]/social_project/apps/
friends_app to [YOUR_PROJECT_HOME]/apps/friends_app
4. copy importer.py from [PINAX_HOME]/lib/python2.6/site-packages/
friends to [YOUR_PROJECT_HOME]/apps/friends_app
5. on the import_google method replace the line:

contacts_service.auth_token = authsub_token

with:

contacts_service.UpgradeToSessionToken(authsub_token)

6. Done.

Of course, you can change the files on their original source without
copying them to your own project but then you risk to loose the
changes on an Pinax update or whatever.

Hope this helps,

This is definitely helpful. I am still getting my bearing with the
layout of pinax and how the workflow is supposed to work. I was
indeed modifying the files in place. I would actually like to know
how I can onload most if not all of everything to my project_dir so
that I can just make changes and complete overhauls there but continue
to upgrade pinax without worry of it interfering with my existing
hacks. Unfortunately,

Okay, I got it. It looks like the friends module and the friends_app
module are distinct so following these directions verbatim did not
work. But if I move the friends module from site-packages into my
project/apps/friends then make the modification it works. I don't
think that importer is part of friends_app though. A bit confusing
but thanks.

Also, I think:

Very helpful though... when is the ETA for patches like this to the
devel version? Also, after all of that I'm a little disappointed to
see that I just have a text list of my contacts but I guess I could
make them links to an invitation form...

Okay, I got it.  It looks like the friends module and the friends_app
module are distinct so following these directions verbatim did not
work.  But if I move the friends module from site-packages into my
project/apps/friends then make the modification it works.  I don't

Well, the thing is like this: the 'friends' functionality is provided by the 'friends' application on your site-packages, however you may notice the views of that app is empty. This is because yuo have to provide your
own views suited for your application, for instance, the social-project implements its own views on the friends-app. Instead of moving the whole friends module, you may instead just copy the importer.py and then change your import from:

from friends.importer import import_yahoo, import_google

to:

from friends-app import import_google

but this is up to you. I forgot to tell you about this last bit before.

Also, I think:

I should clarify that I'm not a pinax developer, i'm just like you trying to build a project on pinax. My understanding is that you provide your own functionality with the imported contacts.

Cheers and good luck,

Awesome, well, thanks for all the help; I'm starting to get a better handle on it.  I hope to contribute but obviously I have a little farther to go.  Just trying to add fuel to the fire, hopefully not smothering it.
