I have to do the same and thought in the same solution - reusing comments
for product review - and came here (this thread is the only related I
found). For getting this working (in Mezzanine 4) you have to inject:
(
"cartridge.shop.models.Product.comments",
"mezzanine.generic.fields.CommentsField",
("generic.ThreadedComment", ),
{"blank": True, "null": True}, # Not sure if this is necessary
),
Note the "Product.comments" - I wanted to use "reviews" but you'll have to
modify the template tags.
I agree that this is not exactly a "review approach" but it saves you a lot
of code, gets you going and gives you an "ebay-like" functionality that may
be OK.
You usually don't "reply a review" - it's an opinion, you may find it
useful or not (the rating of the review/comment may also apply here, but I
think it may be better to save "+/-1"s. As ratings and comments are
separated in the code (a product review is usually a rating with an
explaination of the rating), I think it will be easier / better to create a
simple Review model with (rating, description, user_fk, product_fk),
recycle or reuse as much as possible of the tags and templates of comments
and then restrict if you want the form to the users that have the product
in their purchase history.
Did you go with this direction? (This was 2 years ago)
Anyway, hope this helps in the future,
Cheers,
Rodrigo
