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.

I was looking for a tagging/categorization app for a Django project. In past I have used django-tagging and django-taggit. Looks like they are not being actively maintained. I also saw a few others but they are either unmaintained of don't really reach the functionality of these two.
The kind of project I was working on for past year did not require tagging like functionality therefore I am out of touch in this area.
So before starting on writing my own app I thought, I would ask the mighty Stackoverflow community if there are any maintained forks of these apps or if there others similar to them.
Thanks in advance.
I've used both on different projects, too with different Django versions. There are some forks to. For instance, for django-tagging there is django-tagging-ng that provides multilingual, synonyms and hierarchy.
I would simply refer to opencomparison for package comparisons of django apps here - http://django.opencomparison.org/grids/g/tagging/
And I would go with django-tagging and add in django-tagging-ext optionally.
Is this what you are looking for?

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I have found RedditStyleVoting however it seems out of date and not really covering what I am looking for.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.
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 :)
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).
Any good cfml Shopping Cart app? Tried using one? What's your experience with it?
There are few carts listed in Arehart's list. Haven't tried any, so can't give advices.
I've used SiteSirector by QuillDesign before, and tried a few others. SiteDirector was the best I've seen. It's pretty easily extended and has a lot of features out of the box. I would recommend you take a look at it.
I have been using Cartweaver so far. It has been pretty good. If you are integrating it with an existing site you will have to merge the application cfm/cfc's which can get a bit hairy.
Cartweaver is well written otherwise though. I hope in future versions they will make the entire cart into cfc's, but it is a great value for the dollar.
My needs have allways required completly custom applications; however, this package has allways interested me: http://www.cfwebstore.com/
Great Price
Open Source Code
Good luck.
