1. Features

• It is a fully backend driven project (no JavaScript needed).
• Users and visitors can send comments and replies.
• The maximum thread level is one. One thread level is a common scenario: users or visitors can send comments either using the main comment form or by clicking on the "write a reply" button (see the sample image below). Change the the maximum thread level using either the setting COMMENTS_INK_MAX_THREAD_LEVEL or COMMENTS_INK_MAX_THREAD_LEVEL_BY_APP_MODEL.
• Users can send reactions to each Quote. The available reactions are Like and Dislike (+1 and -1), which correspond to the default reactions provided with django-comments-ink (here), but they can be customized modifying the setting COMMENTS_INK_OBJECT_REACTIONS_ENUM.
• Users can also send reactions to each comment. The available reactions for comments in this project are the same as the reactions for objects. Modify the setting COMMENTS_INK_COMMENT_REACTIONS_ENUM to change the list of reactions available for comments.
• Users can vote for comments, and the list of comments is sorted by the vote score. Comment votes can be enabled/disable using the comment_votes_enabled entry of the COMMENTS_INK_APP_MODEL_OPTIONS setting. To change the sorting of comments customize the COMMENTS_INK_LIST_ORDER setting.
• django-comments-ink comes by default with a few themes that change the look of the comments. The one in the image below is the default theme, used when the setting COMMENTS_INK_THEME_DIR is empty. It can take the following values, that correspond with the directories under templates/comments/themes in django-comments-ink:
  • avatar_in_header
  • avatar_in_thread
  • feedback_in_header

2. Run in Docker

To run the project with Docker, create an .env_docker file with the following vars:

PRODUCTION=1
SECRET_KEY="k!5lw18q1#8#&_7k=ew!k_=p%4a@)($c0b8mp_yxbvw@weng$@"
DB_NAME=dci
DB_USER=dci
DB_PWD=dci
DB_HOST=postgres
DB_PORT=5432

And use docker compose to build the image with the Django project, launch the containers and run the migrations:

$ docker compose --env-file .env_docker build django
$ docker compose --env-file .env_docker up -d
$ docker compose --env-file .env_docker exec django python manage.py migrate
$ docker compose --env-file .env_docker exec django python manage.py loaddata ../fixtures/sites_docker.json
$ docker compose --env-file .env_docker exec django python manage.py loaddata ../fixtures/users.json
$ docker compose --env-file .env_docker exec django python manage.py loaddata ../fixtures/quotes.json
$ docker compose --env-file .env_docker exec django python manage.py loaddata ../fixtures/comments.json

The Django project must be running in http://localhost:8080.

3. Run in your host OS

Instead of running the project with Docker, here are the equivalent steps to setup the project in your usual host OS.

Setup virtual environment

Create a virtual environment:

$ python3.10 -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Create .env file

Within the just created virtual environment, generate two new random secret keys. We will used them to feed the SECRET_KEY and the COMMENTS_INK_SALT environment variables. Generate each key with this command:

python -c "from django.core.management.utils import get_random_secret_key; print(get_random_secret_key())"

Create a .env file with the following content:

PRODUCTION=False
SECRET_KEY="secret_key_from_previous_step"
COMMENTS_INK_SALT="another_secret_key_from_previous_step"

Setup the Django project

Run Django's migrate command and load the fixture data:

$ cd project_quotes
$ python manage.py migrate
$ python manage.py loaddata ../fixtures/sites.json
$ python manage.py loaddata ../fixtures/users.json
$ python manage.py loaddata ../fixtures/quotes.json
$ python manage.py loaddata ../fixtures/comments.json

And finally launch the development server:

$ python manage.py runserver

4. About users

The project allows you to login using any of the users provided with the users.json fixture. There are 110 users. Here are the login email and password of the first 10. The rest follow the same pattern; they have as password the left side of the email address:

• [email protected], password admin
• [email protected], password fulanito
• [email protected], password mengo
• [email protected], password daniela.rushmore
• [email protected], password lena.rosenthal
• [email protected], password amalia.ocean
• [email protected], password isabel.azul
