Re: OneToMany relationshops between models?
Thanks. Ill take a look at that, as well as some of the other comments framework. I had looked at the django comments, but it looked like it wasnt really supported, and might change soon. mike chambers [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > For something like this the best way to do this is a generic foreign > key, here is an example: > http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/models/generic_relations/ > .

Re: OneToMany relationshops between models?
For something like this the best way to do this is a generic foreign key, here is an example: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/models/generic_relations/ . For comments though you should probably check out, django.contrib.comments, or one of the other open source comment packages(such as threadedcomments).
