""" A generic comment-moderation system which allows configuration of moderation options on a per-model basis. To use, do two things: 1. Create or import a subclass of ``CommentModerator`` defining the options you want. 2. Import ``moderator`` from this module and register one or more models, passing the models and the ``CommentModerator`` options class you want to use. Example ------- First, we define a simple model class which might represent entries in a Weblog:: from django.db import models class Entry(models.Model): title = models.CharField(maxlength=250) body = models.TextField() pub_date = models.DateField() enable_comments = models.BooleanField() Then we create a ``CommentModerator`` subclass specifying some moderation options:: from django_comments.moderation import CommentModerator, moderator class EntryModerator(CommentModerator): email_notification = True enable_field = 'enable_comments' And finally register it for moderation:: moderator.register(Entry, EntryModerator) This sample class would apply two moderation steps to each new comment submitted on an Entry: * If the entry's ``enable_comments`` field is set to ``False``, the comment will be rejected (immediately deleted). * If the comment is successfully posted, an email notification of the comment will be sent to site staff. For a full list of built-in moderation options and other configurability, see the documentation for the ``CommentModerator`` class.

""" pass class CommentModerator(object): """ Encapsulates comment-moderation options for a given model. This class is not designed to be used directly, since it doesn't enable any of the available moderation options. Instead, subclass it and override attributes to enable different options:: ``auto_close_field`` If this is set to the name of a ``DateField`` or ``DateTimeField`` on the model for which comments are being moderated, new comments for objects of that model will be disallowed (immediately deleted) when a certain number of days have passed after the date specified in that field. Must be used in conjunction with ``close_after``, which specifies the number of days past which comments should be disallowed. Default value is ``None``. ``auto_moderate_field`` Like ``auto_close_field``, but instead of outright deleting new comments when the requisite number of days have elapsed, it will simply set the ``is_public`` field of new comments to ``False`` before saving them. Must be used in conjunction with ``moderate_after``, which specifies the number of days past which comments should be moderated. Default value is ``None``. ``close_after`` If ``auto_close_field`` is used, this must specify the number of days past the value of the field specified by ``auto_close_field`` after which new comments for an object should be disallowed. Default value is ``None``. ``email_notification`` If ``True``, any new comment on an object of this model which survives moderation will generate an email to site staff. Default value is ``False``. ``enable_field`` If this is set to the name of a ``BooleanField`` on the model for which comments are being moderated, new comments on objects of that model will be disallowed (immediately deleted) whenever the value of that field is ``False`` on the object the comment would be attached to. Default value is ``None``. ``moderate_after`` If ``auto_moderate_field`` is used, this must specify the number of days past the value of the field specified by ``auto_moderate_field`` after which new comments for an object should be marked non-public. Default value is ``None``. Most common moderation needs can be covered by changing these attributes, but further customization can be obtained by subclassing and overriding the following methods. Each method will be called with three arguments: ``comment``, which is the comment being submitted, ``content_object``, which is the object the comment will be attached to, and ``request``, which is the ``HttpRequest`` in which the comment is being submitted:: ``allow`` Should return ``True`` if the comment should be allowed to post on the content object, and ``False`` otherwise (in which case the comment will be immediately deleted). ``email`` If email notification of the new comment should be sent to site staff or moderators, this method is responsible for sending the email. ``moderate`` Should return ``True`` if the comment should be moderated (in which case its ``is_public`` field will be set to ``False`` before saving), and ``False`` otherwise (in which case the ``is_public`` field will not be changed). Subclasses which want to introspect the model for which comments are being moderated can do so through the attribute ``_model``, which will be the model class.

An instance of this class will maintain a list of one or more models registered for comment moderation, and their associated moderation classes, and apply moderation to all incoming comments.

Note that both of these should be the actual classes, not instances of the classes. To cease moderation for a model, call the ``unregister`` method, passing the model class. For convenience, both ``register`` and ``unregister`` can also accept a list of model classes in place of a single model; this allows easier registration of multiple models with the same ``CommentModerator`` class.
