Stefan, thanks for the links. I were not aware of this attempt, I may give a try sooner or later at it. If only I had more spare time nowadays

Comment on The Pinax Tutorial #4: Using avatars, pagination and profiles by PhilGo20

In fact, probably because of the order used in the listed template_dirs of settings.py, it first use whatever it finds in PROJECT_ROOT/templates and if it cannot resolve, use PINAX_ROOT. That keeps it simple and clean. thanks for the tip !

You are right. I was confused because the intranet apps folder is pretty much empty, everything refers to the PINAX_ROOT. Should have checked first

Based on my pinax install

“The urls for the about/ views of our project are included in the PROJECT_ROOT/apps/about/urls.py file:”

should read

“The urls for the about/ views of our project are included in the PINAX_ROOT/apps/about/urls.py file:”

except if the social_project is way different than the intranet_project

You would have to specify to your app the use the new profile.html template or it would still use the pinax original template … correct ?

Also in forms.py ‘tags’ should be removed from fields tuple since Book model does not have such field yet.

Comment on The Pinax Tutorial #5: Adding a comment system by MJ

Hey Paolo thanks for the great tutorials so far, keep up the good work. Regarding this topic in pinax i’ve got 2 questions which you might be able to answer. I’m using pinax 0.7.1

The first is whether it’s possible to create extra fields? The only extra field i’d like to add is the url field as above. That field is standard in the freethreadedcomments but not in the threaded comments you talked about above. I need it for authentificated users. Tried it so far by adding the “website“ field from freethreadedcomments to the model, view, admin and form of threadedcomments but it hangs

Secondly i was wondering whether it’s possible in Pinax to remove the {% if user.is_authenticated %} tag from the template to show the input textarea for users not login in yet. Ideally i’d like to see this order: 1) textarea which can be filled in by not yet loged in users 2) login screen 3) submitted comment + loged in user. If i remove the {% if user.is_authenticated %} tag now it gives a template error for preview_comment.html

Looking forward to see more of your work
Ciao
