Settings

In order to use Django-comments-xtd it is required to declare the setting COMMENTS_APP:

COMMENTS_APP = "django_comments_xtd"

Additionally, Django-comments-xtd’s behaviour may change depending on the following two settings.

Maximum Thread Level

COMMENTS_XTD_MAX_THREAD_LEVEL - Maximum Thread Level

Optional

Indicate the maximum thread level for comments.

An example:

COMMENTS_XTD_MAX_THREAD_LEVEL = 8

Defaults to 0. What means threads are not permitted.

Maximum Thread Level per App.Model

COMMENTS_XTD_MAX_THREAD_LEVEL_BY_APP_MODEL - Maximum Thread Level per app.model basis

Optional

A dictionary with app_label.model as keys and the maximum thread level for comments posted to instances of those models as values. It allows definition of max comment thread level on a per app_label.model basis.

An example:

COMMENTS_XTD_MAX_THREAD_LEVEL = 0
COMMENTS_XTD_MAX_THREAD_LEVEL_BY_MODEL = {
    'projects.release': 2,
    'blog.stories': 8, 'blog.quotes': 8,
    'blog.diarydetail': 0 # not required as it defaults to COMMENTS_XTD_MAX_THREAD_LEVEL
}

Confirm Comment Post by Email

COMMENTS_XTD_CONFIRM_EMAIL - Confirm Comment Post by Email

Optional

This setting establishes whether a comment confirmation should be sent by email. If set to True a confirmation message is sent to the user with a link she has to click on. If the user is already authenticated the confirmation is not sent.

If is set to False the comment is accepted (unless your discard it by returning False when receiving the signal comment_will_be_posted, defined by the Django Comments Framework).

An example:

COMMENTS_XTD_CONFIRM_EMAIL = True

Defaults to True.

Salt

COMMENTS_XTD_SALT - Extra key to salt the form

Optional

This setting establishes the ASCII string extra_key used by signed.dumps to salt the comment form hash. As signed.dumps docstring says, just in case you’re worried that the NSA might try to brute-force your SHA-1 protected secret.

An example:

COMMENTS_XTD_SALT = 'G0h5gt073h6gH4p25GS2g5AQ25hTm256yGt134tMP5TgCX$&HKOYRV'

Defaults to an empty string.
