comment_will_be_posted¶

django.contrib.comments.signals.comment_will_be_posted¶

Sent just before a comment will be saved, after it’s been sanity checked and submitted. This can be used to modify the comment (in place) with posting details or other such actions.

If any receiver returns False the comment will be discarded and a 403 (not allowed) response will be returned.

This signal is sent at more or less the same time (just before, actually) as the Comment object’s pre_save signal.

Arguments sent with this signal:

sender

The comment model.

comment

The comment instance about to be posted. Note that it won’t have been saved into the database yet, so it won’t have a primary key, and any relations might not work correctly yet.

request

The HttpRequest that posted the comment.

comment_was_posted¶

django.contrib.comments.signals.comment_was_posted¶

Sent just after the comment is saved.

Arguments sent with this signal:

sender

The comment model.

comment

The comment instance that was posted. Note that it will have already been saved, so if you modify it you’ll need to call save() again.

request

The HttpRequest that posted the comment.

comment_was_flagged¶

django.contrib.comments.signals.comment_was_flagged¶

Sent after a comment was “flagged” in some way. Check the flag to see if this was a user requesting removal of a comment, a moderator approving/removing a comment, or some other custom user flag.

Arguments sent with this signal:

sender

The comment model.

comment

The comment instance that was posted. Note that it will have already been saved, so if you modify it you’ll need to call save() again.

flag

The CommentFlag that’s been attached to the comment.

created

True if this is a new flag; False if it’s a duplicate flag.

request

The HttpRequest that posted the comment.
