TemplateSyntaxError when rendering /

[lkeijser]

Sorry to bother you again, but I'm getting another error. Hopefully it's as easy to fix as the other one. I've defined this section in a template:

{% block head %} {% load mptt_comments_tags %} {% get_mptt_comments_media %} {% endblock %}

Obviously, the block 'head' is in the HEAD section of the html. When rendering it, I'm getting:

Invalid block tag: 'get_mptt_comments_media', expected 'endblock' or 'endblock head'

thanks,

Léon

Just mentioning that I'm only following the README.rst file so far ..

Or should I just look at /mptt_comments/templates/*.html and copy things I like? Sorry, don't mean to abuse the Issue tracker here :( I'm just very interested in getting everything to work without making use of Disqus or non-threaded comments. Thanks in any case.

Edit: I've changed 'get_mptt_comments_media' to 'mptt_comments_media' and now I'm not getting the error anymore. Looks like the README.rst file is a tad outdated. However, I'm now getting this error:

Caught KeyError while rendering: 'MEDIA_URL'

It probably has something to do with switching from django 1.2 to 1.3 (which I've just done), but I'm not sure what.

[lkeijser]

Okay so I've added the proper context processor and got rid of the above error, but I'm still getting certain errors like this one for example:

Caught NoReverseMatch while rendering: Reverse for 'django.views.i18n.javascript_catalog' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '{'packages': u'mptt_comments'}' not found.

Could you do me a huge favor and paste a working settings/manage/urls.py ? Since I'm probably missing some crucial stuff. I promise not to bother you anymore then :)

Yup, sorry about the sad state of the documentation. I really need to update it.

First, make sure you are using django 1.3. Django 1.2 is completely unsupported.

Then, you just need the urls.py that's inside the app, plus django.contrib.comments.urls, and this:

url(r'^jsi18n/(?P<packages>\S+?)/$', 'django.views.i18n.javascript_catalog'),

For context processors, here is what we use:

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = ( 'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth', 'django.core.context_processors.i18n', 'django.core.context_processors.request', 'django.core.context_processors.media', 'django.core.context_processors.static', )

Note : you'll also need to include jquery in your own base.html to get the javascript working.

[lkeijser]

Okay, almost there then. No problem about the docs, I hate documenting when there's more exiting stuff to do, so I know exactly what you mean.

I have this in my urlconf :

(r'^comments/', include('mptt_comments.urls')),

but how do i include the django.contrib.comments.urls ?

[diox]

You can include it in the same way, in comments/, just make sure to put it below the mptt_comments.urls line. mptt_comments redefines some of the django.contrib.comments urls.

[lkeijser]

Perfect, thanks!

One final question (I really hope you don't mind, you're the only source of help I can find ..). I see a lot of template files and javascript. Are there easy methods of rendering the comments / form / reply-to-comment or do i have to invent my own?

[diox]

The templates that come with the app should be enough to get started. Start with mptt_comments/templates/comments/display_comments_toplevel.html for instance.

Don't hesitate filing bugs or even pull requests for any specific issues you have.
