'str' object has no attribute 'comments'

[HelloMukama]

So, i have added everything to this page https://django-comment-dab.readthedocs.io/Web%20API.html

bu i keep getting the error in title.
How can i resolve this?
Is it necessary to keep on with the whole customization thing which is on the following pages?
Or is it me doing it wrong?

i cloned this github page and pasted all the updated comment...html files in the comment folder you say we shd create from the docs.
Still the error is the same.
I installed all requirements but nothing seems to change
Why? Someone kindly enlighten me.

Hey @HelloMukama,

Are you using the api or the UI? Can you please share the traceback?

It seems to me that you didn't pass the right object to render_comments in the template.

Is it necessary to keep on with the whole customization thing which is on the following pages?

No. This is only needed if you would like to customize the current UI.

[Radi85]

replace obj with the actual object in your details.html.
Or share the full detail.html here if you don't get what I mean.

[HelloMukama]

So i've changed obj to submission and it's showing a count of zero.
Next step is how to get the comment form into details.html

[HelloMukama]

tried looking through comment_tags.py and cant see any create_comment tag

[Radi85]

Updated the file below.

[Radi85]

@HelloMukama,
Replace obj in the comment tags with submission your actual object.
Update your details.html as following:

Edit: Move the {% render_comments submission request %} inside the {% block content %} and get rid of {% get_comments_count obj user %}.

{% extends "base/base.html" %}
{% block title %} Submission | Details {% endblock %}
{% load static %}
{% load comment_tags %}  {# Loading the template tag #}

{% block content %}

<div class="row ml-3 pl-lg-4">
    <div class="col-12 col-xl-12 ml-3">
        <div class="card card-body shadow-sm mb-4">
            <h6 class="mb-4">Details of this submission <span>as of {{time.now}}</span></h6>

            <div class="">
                <h6>About the User that made the submission</h6>
                <p>Full Names: {{ submission.profile.user.first_name }} {{ submission.profile.user.last_name }}</p>
                <p>Email Address: {% if not submission.profile.email %}
                    <span class="text-danger">User has no email address</span>{% else %}{{ submission.profile.email }}{% endif %}
                </p>
            </div>

            <div>
                <h6>The submission. <span style="font-size: small; color: darkblue;">Last edited on {{ submission.updated }}</span></h6>
                <p>Title: <span class="text-uppercase">{{ submission.submission }}</span></p>
                <p>Date Of Submission: <span style="color: darkblue;">{{ submission.timestamp }}</span></p>
            </div>

            <div>
                <h6>Details</h6>
                <p>{{ submission.description }}</p>
            </div>

            <div>
                {% render_comments submission request %}  {# Use the actual object#}
            </div>
        </div>

Perfect. I applied your edit and im now getting the error below

Error during template rendering
In template /home/nmj/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/comment/templates/comment/comments/create_comment.html, error at line 4

'comment' is not a registered namespace

[HelloMukama]

someone kindly get back to me on this issue. thanks

[abhiabhi94]

you probably have added comment urls in some other urls.py but not in your base urls.py file. Also, whenever you're facing an issue, consider posting the traceback, so that others don't just have to shoot in the dark.

{% if comment %}

The above is the traceback that ive been getting in my template following directions from @Radi85
And no, i dont have any other comment urls. matter of fact ive tried even commenting the api url from the docs of this Comment app but still get the same error

[HelloMukama]

OH MAN, I THINK YOU GUYS NEED TO EXPLICITLY INCLUDE THIS IN THE DOCS AS WELL
AFTER @abhiabhi94 TALKING ABOUT URLS, I REMEMBERED THAT USUALLY THE ERROR I AM GETTING WE ALWAYS GET WHEN THE URLS FILE OF THE APP IN QUESTION AREN'T BEING DETECTED.
SO , DID THIS IN MY MAIN URLS FILE
path('comment/', include('comment.urls')),

AND BOOM I GOT THE COMMENT BOX NEXT TO MY MODEL'S DETAILS.
