Confusion in the docs -- Account association only #753

Closed kiarashplusplus closed 11 years ago

kiarashplusplus commented 11 years ago

My use case is "Account association only" as explained in the docs. http://django-social-auth.readthedocs.org/en/latest/use_cases.html#account-association-only

but then associate is depreciated and it is said that the same functionality can be obtained from login.

In the docs, there is also the partial pipeline for this case: SOCIAL_AUTH_PIPELINE = ( 'social_auth.backends.pipeline.social.social_auth_user', 'social_auth.backends.pipeline.social.associate_user', 'social_auth.backends.pipeline.social.load_extra_data', 'social_auth.backends.pipeline.user.update_user_details' )

Could somebody clarifies what's the way to go for this case?

@kiarashplusplus, I've updated the docs dropping the deprecated example code, the proper way to implement a single association mechanism is using the pipeline example in the pipelines docs (the one you pasted in this ticket description).
