#11870 closed Bug (wontfix)

Moderation doesn't work with comments extended from BaseCommentAbstractModel

Reported by: HM Owned by: nobody
Component: contrib.comments Version: dev
Severity: Normal Keywords: moderation
Cc: brian@… Triage Stage: Accepted
Has patch: no Needs documentation: no
Needs tests: yes Patch needs improvement: yes
Easy pickings: no UI/UX: no

Description

CommentFlag has a hardcoded foreign key to django.contrib.comments.models.Comment and thus the moderation-bits of django.contrib.comments cannot be used when inheriting directly from BaseCommentAbstractModel.

Either this should be mentioned in the documentation or CommentFlag should have a

    import comments
    ...
    comment   = models.ForeignKey(comments.get_model(), verbose_name=_('comment'), related_name="flags")

instead of

    comment   = models.ForeignKey(Comment, verbose_name=_('comment'), related_name="flags")

The patch uploaded by me doesn't work because it goes into a cyclical import and fails.
Sorry for uploading that patch without verifying. Underestimated this issue...

Any progress on this?

milestone: 1.2

The latest patch works but it does late module loading ie the imports are called within an if...else statement. This is discouraged in PEP-8 and django's contributing guide but is the only way it can be solved. Every other method I could think of results in a recursive ImportError.

Needs tests: set

Hm, I can't really think of an alternative, too. But a test of this behaviour would be good.

1.2 is feature-frozen, moving this feature request off the milestone.

The last patch didn't run me: https://gist.github.com/f6284636f9edd130bd96

Jesus, of course the patch didn't run me, but it didn't run *for* me, too :)

comment:11 by Thejaswi Puthraya, 13 years ago

Jannis, This patch works but the settings.py should have the COMMENTS_APP attribute set before the tests are run. The toggling of the COMMENTS_APP attribute in the CustomCommentTest class (present under comment_tests/tests/app_api_tests.py) does not help, because syncdb would've already taken place as soon as the test started and in the process, the evaluation of get_model function in the CommentFlag model.

The problem of setting the COMMENTS_APP to the custom comments explicitly before the tests are run will cause all the default comment tests to fail, unless there are some changes made the CommentTestCase class' setUp method.

What do you suggest? Do we require a test for this or modifying the comment tests?

As per a discussion with Jannis and Russell, this ticket needs to wait till LazyForeignKey or some equivalent.

Resolution: wontfix
Status: newclosed

django.contrib.comments has been deprecated and is no longer supported, so I'm closing this ticket. We're encouraging users to transition to a custom solution, or to a hosted solution like Disqus.

The code itself has moved to https://github.com/django/django-contrib-comments; if you want to keep using it, you could move this bug over there.
