Comment and Rating system for Django

Question

I am new to Django, I don't know a lot of them.

I am trying to build a comment and rating system for a blog in Django. There are some apps that I can use to achieve this(Comment and Rating)?

Please let me know.

Best Regards,

Answer 1

The django.contrib.comments that comes with django works well, even if it is rather simplistic. Seems to be extendable for more elaborate needs, though.

Answer 2

At Eldarion, we've ended up building and using dialogos for all our comments on sites: https://github.com/eldarion/dialogos

And for ratings are extending agon: https://github.com/eldarion/agon

While agon was originally just about giving people points, it can also be used to give arbitrary objects points and this can be used for both voting and rating.

Both of these apps will have extensive use in the next release of Pinax.
