Frequently Asked Questions
==========================
Overall
-------
Why don't you implement support for ... ?
*****************************************
This app is just about authentication. Anything that is project
specific, such as making choices on what to display in a profile page,
or, what information is stored for a user (e.g. home address, or
favorite color?), is beyond scope and therefore not offered.
This information is nice and all, but... I need more!
*****************************************************
Here are a few third party resources to help you get started:

I think I found a security issue... now what?
*********************************************
Please report security issues only to django-allauth-security@googlegroups.com.
This is a private list only open to long-time, highly trusted django-allauth
developers, and its archives are not public.

Troubleshooting
---------------
The /accounts/ URL is giving me a 404
*************************************
There is no such URL. Try ``/accounts/login/`` instead.
When I attempt to login I run into a 404 on /accounts/profile/
**************************************************************
When you end up here you have successfully logged in. However, you
will need to implement a view for this URL yourself, as whatever is to
be displayed here is project specific. You can also decide to redirect
elsewhere:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#login-redirect-url
When I sign up I run into connectivity errors (connection refused et al)
************************************************************************
You probably have not got an e-mail (SMTP) server running on the
machine you are developing on. Therefore, ``allauth`` is unable to send
verification mails.
You can work around this by adding the following line to
``settings.py``:
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'
This will avoid the need for an SMTP server as e-mails will be printed
to the console. For more information, please refer to:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#email-host
Why did you just close my issue?
********************************
Time is limited and I have to pick my battles. Please do not file the following
types of issues:
- **Support questions, installation instructions, "How do I...?":** please direct
these questions elsewhere, for example here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/django-allauth
- **Documentation related complaints:** while the documentation can most certainly be
improved, I am adhering to the debatable principle that keeping open issues
around with respect to documentation is not very helpful in improving things.
Please step in and file a pull request if you feel there is something unclear.
- **Project specific integration trouble:** In cases where ``allauth`` is just
one piece of the puzzle and for example a stack trace indicates another
module crashing, please try to come up stripped version of the issue where it
is clear that ``allauth`` is the one that is misbehaving.
