    text
    copied!<p>I have developed some code that builds on the contrib comments app, such as handlers for ajax requests. This code is in a separate application, which we can call 'comments2'. the url configuration of the project is structured in such a way that all calls to /comments are directed to this app's views. This works without problems.</p> <p>Very recently I made a new page that shows comments flagged as inappropriate.</p> <p>I conceived that it was best done by writing an inclusion templatetag, and wrote one. It works like this:</p> <pre><code>{% display_flagged_comments 'market' %} </code></pre> <p>This tag is placed inside the main app's relevant template.</p> <p>As seen in the code above, I pass what model (<strong>Market</strong> in this case) the comments belongs to so that the comments2 app remains generic. </p> <p>I have three issues here that I need guidance on:</p> <p>First, I feel that the model argument being inside quotes (<strong>'market'</strong>) make the code somewhat less elegant. In the code the argument is converted to a model:</p> <pre><code>#template tag def show_comments(modelname): model = ContentType.objects.get(model=modelname) ... # get comments and return them </code></pre> <p>Second, since all requests with <strong>/comments</strong> are directed to comment2 app, I need to devise a different url for this page (it sits inside the main app), such as /managecomments. I find doing that also inelegant.</p> <p>Third, I want to know if I followed a correct path or is there a better way to implement what I'm trying to do.</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
