| 1 Stuff of interest: | |
| 2 | |
| 3 - There's a way to delegate authentication to Apache: | |
| 4 http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/auth-remote-user/#howto-auth-remote-user | |
| 5 | |
| 6 This is a good thing, and we probably should have a look at it, in | |
| 7 the prospect of similarly supporting authentication for other | |
| 8 applications. | |
| 9 | |
| 10 - Django does not offer user registration by default, but | |
| 11 django-registration fills the gap: | |
| 12 http://bitbucket.org/ubernostrum/django-registration/ | |
| 13 | |
| 14 Note that django-registration creates a normal user. Either we | |
| 15 modify it to create an ExtendedUser too, or we may adapt our code so | |
| 16 that any normal user (created by django-registration, or maybe also | |
| 17 imported from another Django app) gets promoted to ExtendedUser; | |
| 18 this could be done using a middleware, or by replacing our | |
| 19 "get_object_or_404(ExtendedUser, pk=request.user.pk)" calls with | |
| 20 something that actually creates the ExtendedUser if the user is just | |
| 21 a basic user. | |
| 22 | |
| 23 - As for 2010-02 Django 1.1 does not have a messaging framework for | |
| 24 anonymous users (only for logged-in users), but this will change in | |
| 25 Django 1.2, planned for 2010-03: | |
