Django Plantains

Django plantains creates the ability to persist the association of a MailChimp account to an AuthUser account in Django. Leveraging the Django framework this can facitate authentication and persisted storage of Oauth metadata for later retrieval and usage.

Requirements

Django plantains was built and tested for:

• Django: 1.8
• Python: 2.7

Installation

Use pip to install into a virtualenv:

pip install django-plantains

In settings configuration file add the following:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'plantains',
)

Include the application URLconf in your project urls.py:

url(r'^plantains/', include('plantains.urls')),

Using a MailChimp registered app, set your client_id and client_secret in your settings configuration as well:

MAILCHIMP_CLIENT_ID = '123456789'
MAILCHIMP_CLIENT_SECRET = 'a1b2c3d4e5f6789'

# Optional parameters
# Defaults
MAILCHIMP_SUCCESS_REDIRECT_URL = '/'


# These are in case MailChimp decides
# to change it's endpoints
MAILCHIMP_AUTHORIZATION_URL = 'https://login.mailchimp.com/oauth2/authorize'
MAILCHIMP_ACCESS_TOKEN_URL = 'https://login.mailchimp.com/oauth2/token'

Use the authentication url to begin the Oauth process in your Django templates.

<a href="{% url 'mailchimp_auth' %}">Feelin Chimpy</a>

Once the authentication is complete you can find your access_token in the mailchimp_user table.
