I am working on a something similar to Disqus, and I created a third-party javascript snippet which the user will embed in the website and have a rating widget for each article. Users can rate the article using the widget. Everything is working, the server is making the request, but I am making the article object instance explicitly.
I need to automate this, like for a new article on the website, checking the request is coming from the authenticated website and create a new rating widget in the Database in Django and Django-rest-framework.
I am using Python 2.7.
Question: How do I automatically save the headline of the new article, if its new and authenticated in the database?
I know that I need to use a model to implement this, but I am unsure how to do the actual implementation.
EDIT:
Let's say this is the query
https://example.com/embed/comments/?base=default&version=edb619270a92c3035c453faa7c9444d1&f=example&t_i=article_2431522&t_u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.firstpost.com%2Fbollywood%2Flatest-trailer-of-spectre-is-out-james-bond-is-back-all-guns-and-cars-blazing-2431522.html%09&t_e=Latest%20trailer%20of%20%27Spectre%27%20is%20out%3A%20James%20Bond%20is%20back%20all%20guns%20and%20cars%20blazing&t_d=Latest%20trailer%20of%20%27Spectre%27%20is%20out%3A%20James%20Bond%20is%20back%20all%20guns%20and%20cars%20blazing&t_t=Latest%20trailer%20of%20%27Spectre%27%20is%20out%3A%20James%20Bond%20is%20back%20all%20guns%20and%20cars%20blazing&s_o=default
In my model I need save the following, like f
to forum
(where forum=models.CharField("short name", max_length=30, unique=True
)
I know I need to parse the url for every &
, but don't know how. I checked the documentation of rest-framework, but I didn't get the gist of it.
`f ---->forum,
t_i----> identifier,
t_u----> url
t_s----> slug,
t_e----> title,
t_d----> documentTitle,
t_t----> title || documentTitle,
t_c ---->category,
s_o----> sortOrder,
l----> language`
What's the best practice to save? Hope this helps
I'm going to just answer the question you stated at the end: "How do I automatically save the headline of the new article"
You're right, you'll need to create an Article model that mirrors the 3rd party site's articles.
It'll need to have a field for the title/headline (probably CharField), make sure you make it big enough and/or deal with cases where the title is bigger.
You'll also need a unique ID for each article. Ideally, rather than using Django's default, you'll use whatever the 3rd party site is using as the unique ID as a One to One mapping.
Then whenever a request comes in you can use the get_or_create method to ensure the article exists in your DB.
