Much of this work was done by Thejaswi Puthraya as part of Google's Summer of Code project; much thanks to him for the work, and to them for the program. This is a backwards-incompatible change; see the upgrading guide in docs/ref/contrib/comments/upgrade.txt for instructions if you were using the old comments system. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk@8557 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37

Upgrading from Django's previous comment system
|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
Prior versions of Django included an outdated, undocumented comment system. Users who reverse-engineered this framework will need to upgrade to use the
|
|
new comment system; this guide explains how.
|
|
|
|
The main changes from the old system are:
|
|
|
|
* This new system is documented.
|
|
|
|
* It uses modern Django features like :ref:`forms <topics-forms-index>` and
|
|
:ref:`modelforms <topics-forms-modelforms>`.
|
|
|
|
* It has a single ``Comment`` model instead of separate ``FreeComment`` and
|
|
``Comment`` models.
|
|
|
|
* Comments have "email" and "URL" fields.
|
|
|
|
* No ratings, photos and karma. This should only effect World Online.
|
|
|
|
* The ``{% comment_form %}`` tag no longer exists. Instead, there's now two
|
|
functions: ``{% get_comment_form %}``, which returns a form for posting a
|
|
new comment, and ``{% render_comment_form %}``, which renders said form
|
|
using the ``comments/form.html`` template.
|
|
|
|
Upgrading data
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The data models have changed, as have the table names. To transfer your data into the new system, you'll need to directly run the following SQL:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: sql
|
|
|
|
BEGIN;
|
|
|
|
INSERT INTO django_comments
|
|
(content_type_id, object_pk, site_id, user_name, user_email, user_url,
|
|
comment, submit_date, ip_address, is_public, is_removed)
|
|
SELECT
|
|
content_type_id, object_id, site_id, person_name, '', '', comment,
|
|
submit_date, ip_address, is_public, approved
|
|
FROM comments_freecomment;
|
|
|
|
INSERT INTO django_comments
|
|
(content_type_id, object_pk, site_id, user_id, comment, submit_date,
|
|
ip_address, is_public, is_removed)
|
|
SELECT
|
|
content_type_id, object_id, site_id, user_id, comment, submit_date,
|
|
ip_address, is_public, is_removed
|
|
FROM comments_comment;
|
|
|
|
UPDATE django_comments SET user_name = (
|
|
SELECT username FROM auth_user
|
|
WHERE django_comments.user_id = auth_user.id
|
|
);
|
|
UPDATE django_comments SET user_email = (
|
|
SELECT email FROM auth_user
|
|
WHERE django_comments.user_id = auth_user.id
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
COMMIT;
