Hello,
i just had the following problem and am not sure whether this is the
way its wants to be:
I used {% get_comment_form for foo as form %} to build my own custom
form. The Form is very simple because only logged in user can access
the page where one would be able to comment. Which is why i did not
want to have an extra field for username in the comment form; Here is
my form:
<form class="CommentForm" action="{% comment_form_target %}"
method="post">
{{ form.comment.label_tag }} {{ form.comment }}
{{ form.object_pk }}
{{ form.content_type }}
{{ form.timestamp }}
{{ form.security_hash }}
</form>
But when i committed the form i always got the error that i have to
pass in a username. But the user _is_ authenticated.
Looking in post_comment shows that if the form does not provide a name
field, the request.user.get_full_name() is retrieved. But as those
fields (Firstname and Lastname) are not required by the user model my
user did not had them filled in. And as the data["name"] variable then
has an empty string, still. the form fails.
Providing Firstname and Lastname for the User solves the Problem.
I guess this should retrieve the username of the currently logged in
user instead of get_full_name()?
Cheers
Manuel
