An addon app to https://github.com/danirus/django-comments-xtd that makes comments submittable via ajax

Installation

1. Install from PYPI:

pip install django-ajax-comments-xtd

2. Add the app and its dependencies to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
  ...
  'django_ajax_comments_xtd',
  'django_comments_xtd',
  'django_comments', 
  ...
]

3. Add COMMENTS_APP to your settings.py:

COMMENTS_APP = 'django_comments_xtd'

Make sure you follow the exact order of putting these apps together

4. Add this to your url config:

urlpatterns = [
  ...
  url(r'^comments/', include('tow.django_ajax_comments_xtd.urls')),
  ...
]

Note: You don't need to add urls config provided by django_comments and django_comments_xtd because our app includes them all.

5. Run migrations to create necessary database tables:

python manage.py migrate

6. Add JS library link to your template:

<script src="{% static 'django_ajax_comments_xtd/js/ajax_comments.js' %}"></script>

7. In templates use these tags to display a list of comments and the comment form:

{% load comments comments_xtd %}
...

<div id="comments">
  {% render_xtdcomment_tree for object %}
  
  {% render_comment_form for object %}
</div>

And now you should have ajax comments enabled.
