redirect loop

[kouroshshafi]

Well, It is more a request for help than an issue, I've got it working and it is a really nice app.

I was thinking to get the profile picture from facebook and I tried this gist

https://gist.github.com/1248728

it is a very simple pre_update signal. My problem is that when it completes the process, it is again redirected to login! and it falls into a redirect loop till it crashes.

Anybody might have a clue which setting parameters might be wrong? Once again, it works very well without the signal (written in the gist). well, here are my settings

LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = '/walls/wall'
LOGOUT_URL= '/accounts/logout/'

SOCIAL_AUTH_COMPLETE_URL_NAME = 'socialauth_complete'
SOCIAL_AUTH_ASSOCIATE_URL_NAME = 'socialauth_associate_complete'

SOCIAL_AUTH_DISCONNECT_REDIRECT_URL = '/walls/wall'
SOCIAL_AUTH_LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL="/walls/wall"
AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE= 'profiles.UserProfile'
FACEBOOK_EXTENDED_PERMISSIONS = ['email']
LOGIN_URL= '/login/facebook'

Another thing, what does disconnect do? because it is only with django.contrib.auth.logout that actually logging out happens.

thanks

well, the signal for registration for the same code works. take a look at https://gist.github.com/1662930
it means there is a problem with pre_update signal.

I'm having the same problem. Removing the pre_update handler solves the redirect issue, but where should I move the code that used to run on pre_update? Have you found a workaround?

[elsurudo]

I managed to find a workaround, although it's not ideal.

On pre-update, I had been starting a few async tasks to do with pulling some user information from Facebook, as well as firing off some emails. These were being called with celery's "delay" method. Just calling the task methods synchronously seems to have fixed the redirect issue, although I have no idea why...

This is really odd, any clue on your points?

[elsurudo]

No, I haven't been able to find the cause yet. Right now I'm on a tight schedule so I can't afford to look further, but I will try when I have the time...

Closing, reopen if it's still relevant or have more data to check it.
