Wagtail 2.14.2 release notes¶
October 14, 2021
What’s new¶
Bug fixes¶
Allow relation name used for admin commenting to be overridden to avoid conflicts with third-party commenting apps (Matt Westcott)
Corrected badly-formed format strings in translations (Matt Westcott)
Page history now works correctly when it contains changes by a deleted user (Dan Braghis)
Upgrade considerations¶
Customizing relation name for admin comments¶
The admin commenting feature introduced in Wagtail 2.13 added a relation named comments
to the Page and User
models. This can cause conflicts with third-party apps that implement commenting functionality, and so this will be
renamed to wagtail_admin_comments
in Wagtail 2.15. Developers who are affected by this issue, and have thus been
unable to upgrade to Wagtail 2.13 or above, can now “opt in” to the Wagtail 2.15 behavior by adding the following
line to their project settings:
WAGTAIL_COMMENTS_RELATION_NAME = 'wagtail_admin_comments'
This will allow third-party commenting apps to work in Wagtail 2.14.2 alongside Wagtail’s admin commenting functionality.
Reusable library code that needs to preserve backwards compatibility with previous Wagtail versions can find out the relation name as follows:
try:
from wagtail.core.models import COMMENTS_RELATION_NAME
except ImportError:
COMMENTS_RELATION_NAME = 'comments'
