How to get a parent comment in the followup email template?

[jdbit]

Hi, is there a method to get a parent comment text (if a user replied to some comment) in the followup email notification template?

No, django-comments-xtd does not provide anything in particular. But you can implement a simple_tag like the following in your templatetags directory:

@register.simple_tag(takes_context=True)
def get_parent_comment(context):
    return XtdComment.objects.get(pk=context['comment'].parent_id)

And use it in the email_followup_comment.txt template:

{% load your_templatetags_module %}

[...]

{% if comment.parent_id != comment.pk %}
    --- Parent comment: ---
    {% get_parent_comment as parent %}
    {{ parent.comment }}
    ---
{% endif %}

That would make it.

Thanks! I'll use the template tag then.
