the way the facebook authorization scheme works is as follows:
1. on the first go round, facebook sends a POST with some data in it that needs to be parsed to pull an authorization code out of it. 2. if the app isn't authorized, i need to redirect to an authorization dialog to so that the user can authorize my app. 3. once the user does that, my app receives an oauth code, and i am on my way. i have everything working, except, i am not sure where to store the authorization code.. in my main component's renderOn, it looks to see if the a instance variable 'oauthToken' is set. if not, it renders some javascript that is really just a redirect to the facebook authorization screen. once the app is authorized, 'oauthToken' is set to the correct value. then, the authorization dialog sends the request BACK to the root url.. everything works correctly..BUT.. on the second time back, the redirect from facebook, it looks like it starts a brand new session (there is a new instance of the main component created). i was hoping that this would all be one session, and that i could just set an instance variable once, and not even touch the session, but i don't think this is going to happen. plus, it looks like i will be firing up a new session on return anyway, so what i have saved in session will be lost. anyone have any ideas on how to cleanly persist this variable after facebook's redirect? -- ---- peace, sergio photographer, journalist, visionary http://www.ThoseOptimizeGuys.com http://www.CodingForHire.com http://www.coffee-black.com http://www.painlessfrugality.com http://www.twitter.com/sergio_101 http://www.facebook.com/sergio101 _______________________________________________ seaside mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/seaside |
Can you store the oAuth code in an inst var in the user?

dangit.. okay.. how to persist the user across the two different calls? -- ---- peace, sergio photographer, journalist, visionary http://www.ThoseOptimizeGuys.com http://www.CodingForHire.com http://www.coffee-black.com http://www.painlessfrugality.com http://www.twitter.com/sergio_101 http://www.facebook.com/sergio101 _______________________________________________ seaside mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/seaside |

If the person interacting with my app during that session authenticates I replace the session user with their user info that I've stored for that person as described here: http://forum.world.st/Best-practices-available-for-Seaside-Gemstone-tp2721023p2901998.html If they sign up instead I store the new instance of the user model with their info as described above. If they never sign up or authenticate the new user instance just gets garbage collected eventually. _______________________________________________ seaside mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/seaside |
