An example how to connect userena with django-social registration.

models.py

from socialregistration.signals import connect as profile_connect
from userena.managers import ASSIGNED_PERMISSIONS

@receiver(socialregistration_signals.connect, sender = FacebookProfile, dispatch_uid = 'facebook.connect')
def social_connect_callback(sender, user, profile, client, **kwargs):
    """
    Create a profile for this user after connecting

    """
    # Create a userena user.
    # TODO: You could make it prettier by setting a ``activation_key`` of ``ALREADY_ACTIVATED``
    # and looking at good values for the other fields of the model.
    userenaSignup = UserenaSignup.objects.get_or_create(user=user)

    # Create profile for user
    try:
        new_profile = Profile.objects.get(user=user)
    except:
        new_profile = Profile.objects.create(user=user)

    # Give permissions to view and change profile
    for perm in ASSIGNED_PERMISSIONS['profile']:
        assign(perm[0], user, new_profile)

    # Give permissions to view and change itself
    for perm in ASSIGNED_PERMISSIONS['user']:
        assign(perm[0], user, user)

I am new with django-social registration from userena. so I need this to copy in my projects model.py? or to usererna model.py?

copy it into your project. It doesn't necessarily needs to be in your models, but it is usually there. You can create a sygnals.py or receivers.py and import it from init.py or from somewhere else.

The idea of signals is that you don't need to change the core or third-party apps when you want to change their behaviors. So, don't putting it inside of Userena is a good pattern. If you want to change userena, there is better ways than using signals.

thanks zvictor. I have successfully implemented it. but django-social is lack of features. so i go with django-social-auth is has more plugin and function implemented. Thanks again.

I understand, but what features do you miss?

Maybe its not missing in the django-social but you need to implemented it by yourself. example in django-social-auth the last name, first name is default populated in the auth_user table. also profile picture can easily be put to mugshot field in userena.

I tried this before, but got tired. None is enough good.
I am really thinking about remove it before launch my website to avoid headaches.

what is the assign function here? or where it is?

use this instead as assign is deprecated:

from guardian.shortcuts import assign_perm
