finish_authenticate_v2 error about box.py

[tals]

request.REQUEST['code'] is provided as an example, and would only work if you're in a Django request handler.

essentially, once you click 'approve' on Box's dialog, they will redirect you to a URL of your choosing (see their docs to see how to change that).
They supply a HTTP GET parameter named 'code' to that url, which is what you use to call finish_authenticate_v2.

So for example, if you configured Box to hit http://www.myapp.com/finish_box, when you click on "approve", Box will issue a request that looks something like 'http://www.myapp.com/finish_box?code=code_goes_here&.....'

Thanks for the clarification. This may or may not be the appropriate forum
to ask this question but I have a Django app already made and want to
incorporate this API into my app. Is there anything I need to do to set up
a Django request handler so that your code works out of the box?

Also, I see that Box issues a request that can look like ''
http://www.myapp.com/finish_box?code=code_goes_here&.....', how would i
grab the code and put it into the finish_authenticate_v2?

Thanks
Nate

It's not the right forum, but for django, you need to do the following (more or less):

in urls.py, add a pattern routing. Say something like:

urlpatterns = patterns(
     ....
     (r'^finish_box', box_authentication_done),
     ...
)

and then in your views.py, have something like:

def box_authentication_done(request):
    code = request.REQUEST.get('code')
    ....

so if you hit /finish_box?code=1234
code will be '1234'

For anything more, please check django tutorials and forums. That library has no relation to Django :)
