QueryJane - Enabled register and login using Facebook account

QueryJane is a web application developed with Django that allows to connect with companies and experts in different sectors of the cannabis industry. Beta version is available here.

I worked to activate register and login in the application using Facebook account during the weekend. I have made some other adjustments that are described below.

New Features

Register and login using Facebook account

In order to avoid users being forced to remember a new password to use the application, I have integrated social-auth-app-django. Now, users can register and login in the application through their Facebook account.

Previously, only the traditional authentication backend was enabled:

The 'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend' backend allows users to register and authenticate in the application creating a new password. In this way, users should always remember this password. A new authentication backend has been enabled:

The 'social_core.backends.facebook.FacebookOAuth2' backend allows users to register and authenticate in the application through their Facebook account. In this way, users are not forced to remember a new password to use QueryJane. Authenticating through fb account they can use all the application functionalities.

I have used Python Social Auth library to integrate this new feature. Documentation is very complete and offers the possibility of using many other accounts to connect besides Facebook.

The code changes related to this feature can be found in this commit.

Now, users can see the Facebook login button in the application homepage:

By clicking this button, a new account will be created using email, first name and last name retrieved from Facebook. Once users have registered, they can continue to authenticate with their Facebook account and the QueryJane account will be linked using the registered email address.

Job offers filter (Another feature added during the weekend)

enabled job offers filter form. Now, users can filter published Job offers by country, city, cateogry and company.

The code changes related to this feature can be found in this commit.

Bug Fixes

Other changes included in this Pull request.

• There was a privacy bug in the Roles tab, in the company settings menu. In this section, there is an auto-complete field that allows to find other users by name, username or email address. When searching for a user by name, his/her email address was displayed.

Users contact information should never be displayed. I have changed it and now users can see the user's username instead the email address.

Code changes related to this fix can be found in this commit.

A little code recycling has been made. Details here.
