django-transplant 0.0.2

Automated merges of User accounts.

Overview

Django-transplant is an app for performing easy merges of django user accounts. It should play nicely with any third party social authentication backend.

Requirements

Django-transplant requires:

• Django 1.2.5 or higher.

If you plan to develop, or run the test suite you should also install:

• Mock

This dependency will not be installed automatically via pip.

Installing

To install with pip into site-packages issue:

pip install django-transplant

To install with pip into src folder (as git repo) issue:

pip install -e \
git+http://github.com/lolek09/django-transplant#egg=django-transplant

Configuration

Add 'transplant' to your INSTALLED_APPS. If you plan to run the test suite you should also add 'transplant.tests':

INSTALLED_APPS += (
        'transplant',
        'transplant.tests', # this is optional
)

For your convenience django-transplant provides a default view for performing User merges. You can use it like any FormView, and it’s name is transplant_merge. It expects a default template in ‘transplant/merge.html’.

To hook it up just add it to your urlconf at any URL:

urplatterns = patterns('',
        ...
        url(r'^accounts/merge/$', include('transplant.urls')),
        ...
)

You should be now able to get the merge form and submit it, but it will have no effect. To utilize default merges you must set TRANSPLANT_OPERATIONS in your settings.py:

TRANSPLANT_OPERATIONS = (
    (
        'transplant.tests.models.CustomProfile',
        'transplant.surgeons.DefaultSurgeon',
        {}
    ),
    (
        'transplant.tests.models.Item',
        'transplant.tests.surgeons.DefaultSurgeon',
        {'user_field': 'owner'}
    ),
    (
        'transplant.tests.models.Message',
        'transplant.tests.surgeons.DefaultSurgeon',
        {'manager': 'unread'}
    ),
)

TRANSPLANT_OPERATIONS consists of triples, each one of them specifies:

1. Path to model class to be merged.

2. Path to Surgeon class to be used during the merge.

3. Extra arguments.

Currently supported extra arguments are:

• user_field - name of the user field that will be used by the Surgeon during the merge (defaults to ‘user’).

• manager - name of Manager used during the merge. In the example above only messages accessible via the ‘unread’ manager will be merged.

You may be happy with the behavior of DefaultSurgeon which is:

• set field given as ‘user_field’ to the user that performs the merge

• call save() on each entity (so that all signals are triggered)

• set the is_active to False on the user that is merged

If you want additional functionality consult the docs.
