How to automatically accept comments from authenticated users in django.contrib.comments

Question

Is there a way to make Django automatically set the is_public field of the comment as True.

I only allow comments for registered users and would like to skip manual review of comments posted.

Answer 1

OK if anyone is looking for the answer for this, this is how I solved it:

# in models.py:
import datetime
def moderate_comment(sender, instance, **kwargs):
    if not instance.id:
        instance.is_public = True
from django.contrib.comments.models import Comment
from django.db.models import signals

signals.pre_save.connect(moderate_comment, sender=Comment)
