Re: Subclassing CommentForm

Wow. Just removing the () after my subclassed commentform worked.
Thanks a lot. I hope that ticket is completed soon and added into
django.

Subclassing CommentForm

[Shantp]

Hi,

I've got a custom comment form in my template using "get_comment_form"
and I'd like email to not be required. From some searching I see that
I need to subclass the CommentForm, but I don't know exactly how to go
about this. Here's what I put into my forms.py

from django.contrib.comments.forms import CommentForm
class EmailFreeCommentForm(CommentForm):
email = forms.EmailField(label='Email address', required=False)

Then I put this in my urls.py

from django.contrib import admin, comments
from sharing.forms import EmailFreeCommentForm
def override_get_form():
return EmailFreeCommentForm()

comments.get_form = override_get_form

This is giving me errors. Am I missing something?

If you can point me towards good subclassing docs that would be
appreciated as well. Thanks.
