Djangoholics: I am working on an 'inline comment' system, inspired by the online Django Book. I want users to be able to comment on any paragraph in my text.
I'm doing this without looking at the code that drives the Django Book or Jack Slocum's implementations, because I really like trying to figure thing out on my own, but I am stuck, and it's kind of hard to explain where I'm stuck. Let's say I have a Comment model, which contains the following fields: * Name - The name of the person leaving the comment * Comment - The text of the comment * Chapter - The chapter being commented on * Paragraph - The paragraph being commented on * Time - When the comment was made OK - so far so good. When someone navigate to mybook/chapter02 I can capture '02', and retrieve all of the comments that are on chapter 2. I can then pass this to my template. This is where I start to get confused. I don't want to track (in my django application) ahead of time how many paragraphs there are in the chapter text. I can use javascript (jquery) to determine that. I can loop through and count all of the paragraphs in the text, and add in the HTML elements (divs and spans) to denote whether a comment exists for that paragraph. How can I count the number of comments that exist for each paragraph? Should I pass the comments to the template as an array of JSON objects, then use javascript to loop through that array for each paragraph number, checking for objects that match the paragraph number, and accumulating the count? I wish I could explain the problem better, but I guess if I could explain it better I could probably solve it. I've got most of the look- and-feel HTML / CSS / Javasript issues solved, but I'm getting stuck on the logic of using the data Django sends to the template. -CJL --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
