Django Social Auth check if user is new in view

I'm using django-social-auth by @Omab for my site.

In the settings, I have SOCIAL_AUTH_NEW_USER_REDIRECT_URL set to, say, /profile. My question is, in the view, how do I check if the user is new? Is there a variable that I can access?

Found the solution.

The variable is_new is set in the request.session variable. You can access it as follows:

name = setting('SOCIAL_AUTH_PARTIAL_PIPELINE_KEY', 'partial_pipeline')
if name in request.session:
    if request.session[name]['kwargs']['is_new'] == True:
        #Do something.

Thanks for your answers!

I am assuming that SOCIAL_AUTH_LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL and SOCIAL_AUTH_NEW_USER_REDIRECT_URL both point to /profile. And you want to deferenciate between users being directed to /profile who where sent there using SOCIAL_AUTH_NEW_USER_REDIRECT_URL.

The simplest way to do this would be to have a new url pattern like this:

urls.py

urls = [
    (r'^profile/$', 'profile'),
    (r'^profile/new/$', 'profile', {'new_user': True}),
]

urlpatterns = patterns('project.app.views', *urls)

views.py

from django.shortcuts import render
def profile(request, new_user=False):
    if new:
         # if user is new code
    return render(request, 'path/to/template.html', {'new_user': new_user})

settings.py

SOCIAL_AUTH_LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = '/profile'
SOCIAL_AUTH_NEW_USER_REDIRECT_URL = '/profile/new'
