Just been playing around with adding captchas to for guests posting
comments on the blog. I don't want logged in users having a captcha
obviously.
I see the comment form type is hard wired in comment_tags.py and
generic.views.py.
What do people think about making the comment form type a SETTING that
defaults to 'mezzanine.generic.forms.ThreadedCommentForm'?
This way users can create customised comment forms. For my case I could add
a very simple form that adds a captcha for guest users only:-
from mezzanine.generic.forms import ThreadedCommentForm
from captcha.fields import CaptchaField
class GuestCaptchaThreadedCommentForm(ThreadedCommentForm):
def __init__(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
super(GuestCaptchaThreadedCommentForm, self).__init__(request,
*args, **kwargs)
if not request.user.is_authenticated():
self.fields['captcha'] = CaptchaField()
Then set the new 'COMMENT_FORM_CLASS' (name TBD) setting to
'GuestCaptchaThreadedCommentForm' to use it.
Is this a good way to do it or is there a better way? I know of
EXTRA_FORM_FIELDS but that won't make a difference to the comment form.
I would like to do a similar thing for the sign up form too. The captcha
would always be present for that form obviously.
If Steve thinks this is okay I can submit the change, it's very simple; add
the new SETTING and update mezzanine/generic/templatetags/comment_tags.py
and generic/views.py to use the class specified by the setting.
