Setup

Step 1 - Connecting comment model with the target model

In models.py add the field comments as a GenericRelation field to the required model.

PS: Please note that the field name must be comments NOT comment.

E.g. Post model, as shown below:

from django.contrib.contenttypes.fields import GenericRelation

from comment.models import Comment

class Post(models.Model):
    author = models.ForeignKey(User)
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    slug = models.SlugField(unique=True)
    body = models.TextField()
    # the field name should be comments
    comments = GenericRelation(Comment)

Important

Please add a get_absolute_url method to the model that you’re associating with the Comment model. It is used at several places.

from django.urls import reverse

def get_absolute_url(self):
    return reverse('post_detail_url', kwargs={'slug': self.slug})

Step 2 - Adding template tags:

render_comments tag uses 2 required and 1 optional arg:

1. Instance of the targeted model. (Required)
2. Request object. (Required)
3. oauth. (optional - Default is false)
