django-reviewable 0.3.9.2

Quick Start

$ pip install django-reviewable

2. Add “Reviewable” to your INSTALLED_APPS setting:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'Reviewable',
    ...
]

2. Include the Reviewable URLconf in your projects urls.py:

url(r'^reviews/', include('Reviewable.urls', namespace='Reviewable')),

2. Run python manage.py migrate

5. Add the mixin Reviewable to any model you want to be reviewable.

...
from Reviewable.models import Reviewable
...

class ReviewableModel(models.Model, Reviewable):
    ...

Custom Templates

Reviewable allows you to customise the templates for each reviewable model. Furthemore, the reviewable object is magically made available in the template context.

For example:

1. You have a model called Hotel in an app called Hotel

2. You want a custom template for the review creation view

3. You would add a template in Hotel/templates/Hotel called hotel_review_create.html

   • Note: This the template name has to be in camel case and all lower case

4. The hotel object is made available in the template context by the usual {{ hotel }} tag

5. This can be repeated for templates for all views: hotel_review_list.html, hotel_review_update.html, hotel_review_confirm_delete.html and hotel_review_detail.html

Template Tags

Reviewable provides one simple but useful template inclusion tag that will include controls for your reviewable object.

To use this just load in the template tag:

{% load reviewable %}
...
{% show_review_controls reviewable_object %}

The template for the inclusion tag is very basic so it is a good idea to override it in the usual Django fashion. The name of the template is “Reviewable/__review_controls.html”.

Post Delete Signals

Deletion of a reviewable object won’t automatically cause a cascade delete of all of the objects reviews. Hence, it is a good idea to use the post delete signal somewhere in your app as below:

from MyApp.models import ReviewableModel
from django.db.models.signals import post_delete
...

post_delete.connect(ReviewableModel.delete_reviews, sender=ReviewableModel)
