Twig's Tech Tips: Django: Get the latest comments for a particular object

Its easy enough if you're using the template tags. Just refer to the documentation and you should be set.

First, remember to load the comments tags.

1.{% load comments %}

To get the number of comments for an object:

1.{% get_comment_count for entry as comment_count %}

Or quickly display all the comments:

1.{% render_comment_list for whatever_object %}

If you want more control displaying the comments:

{% get_comment_list for object as comment_list %}
 
{% for comment in comment_list %}
    ...
{% endfor %}

However if you're trying to get that info in the code, good luck.

1.from django.contrib.comments.models import Comment

2.from django.contrib.sites.models import Site

1.site = Site.objects.get_current()

2.comments = Comment.objects.for_model(self).filter(site = site, is_public = True, is_removed = False)
