Usage

DjangoCMS-Comments includes a plugin. Add the plugin to a page, preferably in a “static placeholder”.

The first time you add a plugin, you need to create a new configuration. You can create different configurations for separate different comments lists on the same page.

For example, you have a blog with two languages. The posts are translated (the id is the same) and you need separate comments. The solution is to create a plugin for each language with a different configuration.

Comments will be associated to the instance in the page. That instance is necessary.

To make the relationship, DjangoCMS-Comments uses a GenericForeignKey. If the primary key is not an integer, the relationship will not work! However, this is not usual.

Settings

You can overwrite the following options in your settings file:
