Wagtail Comments

This module allows you to manage django-comments-xtd comments into the Wagtail admin UI. Tested on Wagtail 2.2.

Instructions

pip install comments_wagtail_xtd

Add 'comments_wagtail_xtd' to your INSTALLED_APPS

Add 'wagtailfontawesome' to INSTALLED_APPS if it's not there already

Settings

Enable the "sites" framework <enabling-the-sites-framework> by adding 'django.contrib.sites' to INSTALLED_APPS and defining SITE_ID. Visit the admin site and be sure that the domain field of the Site instance points to the correct domain (localhost:8000 when running the default development server), as it will be used to create comment verification URLs, follow-up cancellations, etc.
Add 'django_comments_xtd' and 'django_comments', in that order, to INSTALLED_APPS.
Set the COMMENTS_APP setting to 'django_comments_xtd'.
Set the COMMENTS_XTD_MAX_THREAD_LEVEL to N, being N the maximum level of threading up to which comments will be nested in your project.
```
# 0: No nested comments:
#  Comment (level 0)
# 1: Nested up to level one:
#  Comment (level 0)
#   |-- Comment (level 1)
# 2: Nested up to level two:
#  Comment (level 0)
#   |-- Comment (level 1)
#        |-- Comment (level 2)
COMMENTS_XTD_MAX_THREAD_LEVEL = 2
```
The thread level can also be established on a per <app>.<model> basis by using the COMMENTS_XTD_MAX_THREAD_LEVEL_BY_APP_MODEL setting. Use it to establish different maximum threading levels for each model. ie: no nested comments for quotes, up to thread level 2 for blog stories, etc.
Set the COMMENTS_XTD_CONFIRM_EMAIL to True to require comment confirmation by email for no logged-in users.
Run manage.py migrate to create the tables.

Add the URLs of the comments-xtd app to your project’s urls.py:

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    url(r'^comments/', include('django_comments_xtd.urls')),
    ...
]

Customize your project’s email settings:

EMAIL_HOST = "smtp.mail.com"
EMAIL_PORT = "587"
EMAIL_HOST_USER = "alias@mail.com"
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = "yourpassword"
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = "Helpdesk <helpdesk@yourdomain>"

Now go to your models.py and add:

class BlogPost(Page):
    ...
    ...
    @property
    def blog_index(self):
        return self.get_ancestors().type(BlogCategory).last()

    def get_absolute_url(self):
        return self.full_url
    ...

Change BlogCategory and BlogPost to yours.

Open you.web.site/django-admin/ and got to Sites. Check if there everything is okay.
