--This is the Model definition

FEEDBACK_CHOICES = (
        (1, 'FOR'),
        (-1, 'AGAINST'),
        (0, 'NEUTRAL'),
    )


class user (models.Model):
    user_name  = models.CharField(max_length=150)
    

class comments (models.Model):
    comment  = models.CharField(max_length=1000)   
    root_comment =  models.ForeignKey('self', null=True, blank=True, related_name="children")
    user_id = models.ForeignKey(user)


class comment_feedback (models.Model):
    feedback_user_id = models.ForeignKey(user)
    comment_id =   models.ForeignKey(comments)
    feedback_type_id =  models.CharField(max_length=20, choices=FEEDBACK_CHOICES)
    class Meta:
        unique_together = [("feedback_user_id", "info_id")]



We are trying build a html page that will do the following.
Once a user logs in, he can write a new comment (that would result in an insert into comments table)
Alternatively he can do one of the following:
    select a comment of some other user and give his feedback (that would result in an insert into comment_feedback table)
    select a comment and write his own comment with a feedback on the original comment (that would result in an insert into comments table with root_comment as the original comment and an insert into comment_feedback table for the original comment)
    
We tried doing this inlineformset_factory and nested formsets. However we are quite confused on how to proceed with this. Also the comment_feedback table has 2 foreign keys.
How do we handle this at the form and template level? 

Regards

Please ask questions about using Django on django-users. The topic of this list is the development of Django itself.

Thanks,
Karen
