Settings

This is what you need to add to your settings.py

Introduction

This is how you 'install' agro.

Details

In your installed apps, add "agro". Somewhere in your settings.py file, add the following, and then run syncdb.

    AGRO_SETTINGS = {
        # the sources you add here are up to you, these are the names of the files in your sources directory
        'source_list': ('flickr', 'twitter', 'delicious', 'lastfm',),

        # here is where you add login details
        # for a single user, these will be strings, for multiple users, it's a tuple of user information, except flickr. flickr requires a tuple, even for single users.
        'accounts': {
                        'twitter':'camflan',
                        'lastfm':'camflan',
                        'delicious':'camflan',
                        'flickr':(('camflan', '90123960@N00'),)
                    },

        # for services that require an API key, they are added like so
        # note that last.fm also requires a secret, so we add it's api key and secret as a tuple
        'api_keys': {
                        'flickr': ('api_key',)
                        'lastfm': ('api_key', 'secret',),
                    },
    }


    # this is an example with multiple last.fm and flickr users. you can add multiple users to any service in a similar manner

    AGRO_SETTINGS = {
        'accounts': {
                        'twitter':'camflan',
                        'delicious':'camflan',
                        'lastfm': ('camflan', 'otheruser',),
                        'flickr': (('camflan', '90123960@N00',), ('otheruser', 'otheruserid@N00',),),
                    },
    }

If you want to get original secrets or images that are not CC/public then we must make an authenticated call to flickr. To do this, we need to generate a token for you. visit the link on the the googlecode homepage. After you get this information, you will put it in your setting file as shown below. This is also shown to you on my site when we give you the information

    AGRO_SETTINGS = {
        'api_keys': {
                        'flickr': (('api_key', 'secret', 'token'),),
                    },
    }

Any chance this document could be updated to reflect the new settings block AGRO_SETTINGS?

Sorry about that, this should work. Let me know if it doesn't!
