Well, the problem with built in comments framework is that I need few more
fields in comments.
What I created is:
MODEL:
class Comment(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length = 30)
body = models.CharField(max_length = 2000)
article = models.ForeignKey(Article)
def __unicode__(self):
return u"%s" %(self.name)
FORM:
class CommentForm(forms.Form):
'''
The Register form is created to deal with registration process
check if data is clean and passwords match each other
'''
username = forms.CharField(label='Name', max_length=30)
body = forms.CharField(required = True,
label = 'Comment Body',
widget=forms.Textarea)
def clean_body(self):
if 'body' in self.cleaned_data:
body = self.cleaned_data['body']
if not re.search(r'^\w+$', username):
raise forms.ValidationError('Error: body can contains \
only alphanumeric characters')
VIEW:
def article_page(request, page_name):
article = get_object_or_404(models.Article, url = page_name)
articles_list =
models.Article.objects.exclude(is_published__exact="0").order_by("-pub_date")
if request.method == 'POST':
form = CommentForm(request.POST)
# Creating a comment
if form.is_valid():
comment = Comment(
name = from.cleaned_data['name'],
body = form.cleaned_data['body'],
article = ????
)
return render_to_response('article.html',
{'section': article.title,
'article' : article,
'articles' : articles_list}
)
Not sure how to fill the article field :(
Thanks in advance,
Oleg
