Comment settings¶
These settings configure the behavior of the comments framework:
COMMENTS_HIDE_REMOVED¶
If True (default), removed comments will be excluded from comment lists/counts (as taken from template tags). Otherwise, the template author is responsible for some sort of a “this comment has been removed by the site staff” message.
COMMENT_MAX_LENGTH¶
The maximum length of the comment field, in characters. Comments longer than this will be rejected. Defaults to 3000.
COMMENTS_APP¶
An app which provides customization of the comments framework. Use the same dotted-string notation as in INSTALLED_APPS. Your custom COMMENTS_APP must also be listed in INSTALLED_APPS.
