Using different model

How can we use a custom model for comments?

For example, the current comments have only a body. What to do if I want include more details to the comments so that some parts of it can also be rendered in the form?

Unfortunately that is not currently possible

You can pull that off by making an custom comments app, and use that as COMMENTS_APP = "myapp" in your settings. Your comments app would have to provide a get_form() and get_model() function that returns your form and model classes. You can let those inherit from the ThreadedComments and ThreadedCommentsForm class off course!
