Edit form for django comments - django

I am using django comments apps to allow user to submit comments, but there is not any edit form for the comment. Does the comment app support an edit form or do I have to make one of my own.
Any help is appreciated.

I had the same issue, and have written a small portable app which aims to add edit functionality to the comments framework. Please note that it has not been tested, and it may be security issues with it. But you can check it out at github.

This isn't built in to the comment app so it's something you'll have to write yourself. You will need to consider how to confirm that the person requesting to edit a comment actually wrote the comment. This is ok if you are dealing with logged in users but will be difficult for anonymous comments.

Customising the comments layout

I am trying to adapt the facebook comments system to fit the requirements for our newspaper system. We need the ability to allow a user to report a comment to us and then we will moderate the comment ourselves. We cannot let users run wild and start blocking each others' comments.
I realise that I can get the data I need to build the comments layout from the Graph API. What would I need to do to allow users to add a comment and comment on a comment?
Have you looked here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/comments/?

Comment and Rating system for Django

I am new to Django, I don't know a lot of them.
I am trying to build a comment and rating system for a blog in Django. There are some apps that I can use to achieve this(Comment and Rating)?
Please let me know.
Best Regards,
At Eldarion, we've ended up building and using dialogos for all our comments on sites: https://github.com/eldarion/dialogos
And for ratings are extending agon: https://github.com/eldarion/agon
While agon was originally just about giving people points, it can also be used to give arbitrary objects points and this can be used for both voting and rating.
Both of these apps will have extensive use in the next release of Pinax.
The django.contrib.comments that comes with django works well, even if it is rather simplistic. Seems to be extendable for more elaborate needs, though.

Django Commenting framework and voting

I want to implement a commenting system for some pages by using the build-in commenting framework of Django.
The only addition to the default commenting framework is that other registered users can up/down vote comments (one time allowed indeed), just like Digg or Reddit style.
I have found RedditStyleVoting however it seems out of date and not really covering what I am looking for.
I will be grateful for any suggestion
You could use the django-voting application and allow vote for Comment objects.

Django Comments and Rating Systems

I am looking for a blogging and comments system that can smoothly integrate with my Django sites. I've found there is a lot on the Net and got lost a bit, and I don't have much experience on this. Hope you guys can give me some suggestions.
Here are the things that I would like to have:
Tag Clouds
Articles Archive (by months/by years)
Articles Rating (e.g. with Stars or customize icons)
Comments to the particular Topic/Articles
Sub-Comments of a particular comments (i.e. following up comments)
Blogs/Articles Searching
Able to relate other articles that is relevant (i.e. follow up Articles)
Pagination of the comments if get too long
OpenIDs supports (e.g. facebook, hotmail, blogger, twitter...etc)
Support login before user can comments
Able to retrieve Blogs' Header and customized the display order
Able to subscribe this article to RSS
Able to Email this to friends (this may not belongs to the comments system)
If I missed some common functions, please let me know. The comments system I am looking for should do most jobs that those popular comments system should do on the web, e.g. WordPress.
Thank you so much everyone. Have a nice day.
I myself really like django-threadedcomments. It supports threaded commenting like what you would see in Disqus.
i heard django-comment-utils is quite good. - may you test it :)

Django comments being spammed

I am using the built in comment system with Django but it has started to be spammed. Can anyone recommend anything I can use to stop this such as captcha for django etc. I'm looking for something that I can use along with the comment system rather than replacing it.
Thanks
Do you use all the fields of the built in comments-form? There is a honeypot-field to help prevent spam (see the docs). Would django-simple-captcha help?
see if this snippet can help you to use Akismet on you Django comments
Depending on the popularity of your site, I decreased my spam 100% by putting up a static captcha with no obstructions. If your site isn't hugely popular, spammers won't waste their time trying to crack your captcha. I mainly bring this up, because these days it seems like captchas are becoming harder and harder for humans to read consistently (might just be me, but the Google captcha usually takes at least two tries).
