Hi Chris,
May be you can try this model :
class Comment(models.Model):
comment = models.TextField(max_length=300)
added_by = models.CharField(max_length=25) #or a FK to auth.users
dateadded = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType)
object_id = models.PositiveIntegerField()
content_object = generic.GenericForeignKey()
def __unicode__(self):
return self.comment
class Meta:
ordering = ["dateadded"]
You have to include 'django.contrib.contenttypes' in your INSTALLED_APPS
though
HTH
