Comment on django + facebook connect by ryan

I’m not sure – if you rewrite the model, it might work. As long as pyfacebook works on GAE. I’ve also started playing with using thread local variables to store some data to reduce the number of facebook calls. The facebook model does a lot, but you can probably just copy that stuff all into a new object that uses GAE backend.

Hope this helps

What do you think it would take to modify this code to run on Google App Engine (with the django patch). Is it only a matter of rewriting the models that you have to use GAE model instead of the django models?

Thanks

Hi, I recently was introduced to NewsMixer by Rich Gordon.

Would love to use the platform for grassroots journalism projects in my area. http://www.sa4mayor.com/about is one of my latest ones. While I’m pretty hands-on with Wordpress, htmls, css… would it be challenging for a non-coder? What would the Wordpress plugin do vs. the the whole thing? Are you still developing it? Can you be contacted directly?

Hi, I’ve installed your facebook-connect app but I’m having problems understanding how to wire it up with the views. And also how to load templates, etc. Could you please give a little more detail?

Thanks

Wow! Being an Indian it is such a pleasure to hear such an account of my country! A lot of what you said is true. It is a land of vibrant colors and we are very friendly people! A part of it comes from the traditions and family oriented nature that we inherit.

That makes sense. I like the third option, especially since it gives me (as a site builder) the option of dumping FB connect if it starts to get onerous or just Orwellian without losing a bunch of accounts. People have been asking about using FB connect on Tools for News. This might be the head start I need to actually make it happen.
