can I use the django comments framework without an attached parent model?
Why not using the URL as the model? You can even write a middleware that creates an Url instance upon a page request, if it does not exist yet.
I'd like to use the Django comments framework (or something similar) to easily enable comments for my site. According to the Django documentation, a comment thread must be associated with a parent object that is a Django model. (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/comments/).
However, most of my views are rendered using non-model data. In other words I want to be able to add comments to anything that has a unique URL, and have those comments keyed on the URL rather than on an underlying model object. Is there a way to do this?
