Of course. As the error message says, 'c' is here a queryset, not a
model object. If you want to retrieve a single model object, you have
to use manager.get, not manager.filter, ie:
>>> c = Comment.objects.get(id=111)
>>> c
<Comment: Related object name here ...>
>>> c.content_object
# your content object here

You won't be able to do this in a single SQL query. A Q&D solution
might be:
def recent_comments(request):
comments = Comment.objects.all().order_by('-id')
recent_comments = []
for comment in comments:
if len(recent_comments) == 6: # XXX hardcoded, that's bad
break
content = comment.content_object()
try:
if content.publish:
recent_comments.append(comment)
except AttributeError
# content has no 'publish' attribute
pass
return dict(recent_comments=recent_comments)
If your comments are all on a same model class, you can possibly
optimize this by first retrieving a list of published objects AND the
content_type id for your model class, then filtering comments on these
values (implementation left as an exercice to the reader !-))
