integrate Gittip with Julython

[chadwhitacre]

There's a couple ways this could be done:

1. Use the Julython user's GitHub and/or Twitter account to format a Gittip URL, like https://www.gittip.com/on/github/rmyers/.
2. Add a field to the Julython user object to collect a Gittip username.

Then I was thinking this would show up on a person page:

Is this something you'd be interested in?

Approved :)

Thanks, @rmyers! :-D

Based on conversation over on rubygems/rubygems.org#500, I'd prefer to go with option 2 above, the explicit opt-in via an additional field on the Julython profile page.

Yes @whit537 I agree. We are using Django 1.5 for the custom user model so this should be fairly simple to implement.

• add field to july.models.User
• make a migration
• add field to profile form/modify template

I got Twitter auth working locally. I added a field to the model. I'm looking at migration docs here (yes?):

I just did an automatic schema migration:

(env)$ ./manage.py schemamigration july --auto add_gittip_field
 + Added field gittip on july.User
Created 0002_add_gittip_field.py. You can now apply this migration with: ./manage.py migrate july
(env)$ ./manage.py migrate july
Running migrations for july:
 - Migrating forwards to 0002_add_gittip_field.
 > july:0002_add_gittip_field
 - Loading initial data for july.
Installed 0 object(s) from 0 fixture(s)
(env)$

From july/templates/people/edit.html it looks like the form is autogenerated. Not sure yet where the form object in that template is coming from, will dig further.

Also, will want to land these before I make a pull request here:

@whit537 looks like you are on the right track. Form for this is july.people.forms.EditUserForm

Thanks so much for picking this up, @rmyers. I really appreciate it. :-)
