Django Comments: Want to remove user URL, not expand the model. How to?

Question

I\'m totally understanding the documentation on expanding the Comments app in Django, and really would like to stick with the automatic functionality but...

Answer 1

My quick and dirty solution: I made the the 'email' and 'url' fields hidden fields, with an arbitrary value to get rid of 'this field is required' errors.

It's not elegant, but it's quick and I didn't have to subclass CommentForm. All the work of adding comments was done in the template, which is nice. It looks like this (warning: not tested, since it's a simplified version of my actual code):

{% get_comment_form for entry as form %}

 {% csrf_token %}

{% for field in form %}

    {% if field.name != 'email' and field.name != 'url' %}
        
 {{field.label}} {{field}} 
    {% endif %}

{% endfor %}
