Question

The django contrib comments form i’m using:

{% get_comment_form for post as form %}
<form action="{% comment_form_target %}" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
    {% if next %}
        <div><input type="hidden" name="next" value="{{ next }}" /></div>
    {% endif %}
    {% for field in form %}
        {% if field.is_hidden %}
            <div>{{ field }}</div>
        {% else %}
            {% if field.name == 'comment' %}
            {% if field.errors %}{{ field.errors }}{% endif %}
            <p
                {% if field.errors %} class="error"{% endif %}
                {% ifequal field.name "honeypot" %} style="display:none;"{% endifequal %}>
                {{ field.label_tag }} {{ field }}
            </p>
            {% endif %}             
        {% endif %}
    {% endfor %}
    <p class="submit">
        <input type="submit" name="post" class="submit-post" value="{% trans "Post" %}" />
    </p>
</form>

After submitting the form, it redirects to http://127.0.0.1:8000/comments/posted/?c=..

That means it calls the template django/contrib/comments/templates/comments/posted.html

The content of django/contrib/comments/templates/comments/posted.html:

{% extends "comments/base.html" %}
{% load i18n %}

{% block title %}{% trans "Thanks for commenting" %}.{% endblock %}

{% block content %}
<h1>{% trans "Thank you for your comment" %}.</h1>
{% endblock %}

That doesn’t extends my project’s base.html.

I need to customize/override that template so that it extends my project’s base.html. How can i do that?

If i can’t do that, then if i upload my django web project on server, then how would i edit the content of django/contrib/comments/templates/comments/posted.html so that it looks like that:

{% extends "path/to/myproject/templates/base.html" %}
{% load i18n %}

{% block title %}{% trans "Thanks for commenting" %}.{% endblock %}

{% block content %}
<h1>{% trans "Thank you for your comment" %}.</h1>
{% endblock %}

On local pc, for this time i changed/edited the content of django/contrib/comments/templates/comments/posted.html hard-coded to extends my project base.html.

Can anyone give some idea to solve this? I have searched a lot to solve this.

Answer 1

Just override it in your project’s “templates” directory:

<project_root>/templates/comments/posted.html

It doesn’t seem to be well documented in either the comments app or Django’s general template documentation, but it works the same as overriding admin templates (which is documented).
