For my new project dlife (Update: Now django-lifestream), I went about implementing a simple comments interface that would allow users to make comments on imported feed items. I wanted to support this in the admin in the typical manner such that when you click on an item in the admin, you can see all the comments and edit them from the item's page.
I found that you can use inline forms in the admin but it seems to show a bunch of forms (3 by default) even though I don't have any comments for the item yet. I'll mess with this a bit more later to try to get the behavior I want.
models.py
| class Comment(models.Model): | |
| '''An item comment''' | |
| comment_item = models.ForeignKey(Item) | |
| comment_date = models.DateTimeField() | |
| comment_user = models.ForeignKey(User, null=True, blank=True) | |
| comment_name = models.CharField(max_length=30) | |
| comment_email = models.EmailField() | |
| comment_homepage = models.URLField(max_length=300) | |
| comment_content = models.TextField(null=True, blank=True) | |
| | |
| class Meta: | |
| db_table="comments" | |
| ordering=["comment_item", "-comment_date"] |
admin.py
| class CommentInline(admin.StackedInline): | |
| model = Comment | |
| max_num = 1 #TODO: Fix this | |
| exclude = ['comment_item','content_type','object_id'] | |
| class ItemAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): | |
| list_display = ('item_title', 'item_date') | |
| exclude = ['item_clean_content',] | |
| list_filter = ('item_feed',) | |
| search_fields = ('item_title','item_clean_content') | |
| list_per_page = 20 | |

| inlines = [CommentInline,] |
