Solving my own problem... This wasn't nearly as hard as I thought,
here's the solution that worked for me:
urls.py
#####
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from django.contrib.comments.views import comments
...others...
def remember_wrapper(fn):
"Set a cookie for commenters who want their personal info to be
remembered."
def wrapper(request,*args,**kwargs):
resp = fn(request,*args,**kwargs)
if resp.status_code == 302: # 302 must mean successful
post
if request.POST.get("remember",False):
cookie_val = "%s,%s,%s" % (request.POST.get
("name",''),request.POST.get("email",''),request.POST.get("url",''))
exp = datetime.now() + timedelta(days=30)
resp.set_cookie('mysite_comment',cookie_val,expires=exp.strftime
('%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S'))
else:
resp.delete_cookie('mysite_comment')
return resp
return wrapper
urlpatterns = patterns("",
...many...
(r'^comments/post/$',remember_wrapper(comments.post_comment)),
(r'^comments/', include('django.contrib.comments.urls')),
...and more...
)
The views that display comment forms check for this cookie, and use
the information to populate the form. I suppose that could be done as
a context processor.
Hope someone finds that useful,
Eric
