Question

i need crucial help, i need to link comments to single post in django , i have no idea what to do

my models i think this is the only part that i know what is goin on

from tkinter import CASCADE, Widget
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

class Post (models.Model):
    id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
    name = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, default='User')
    text = models.TextField (max_length=200)
    posted = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    
    def __str__(self):
        return self.text
    

class Comment(models.Model):#comment for the requests
    request = models.ForeignKey('sunu_app.Post', on_delete =models.CASCADE , related_name='comments', null=True , blank=True)
    # name = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE , null=True , blank=True)
    text = models.TextField ()
    posted = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    
    def __str__(self):
        return self.text

my views i honestly had no idea what was going on there

# from typing_extensions import Self
from urllib.request import Request
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404, render
from django.shortcuts import render,redirect
from .forms import *
from .models import *

def home(request):
    requests = Post.objects.all().order_by('-posted')
    count = Post.objects.all().count()
    #diplay the comments here and let it save in commentform.view
    comments = Post.comment_set.all()
    
    context = {'requests':requests , 'count':count , 'comments':comments}
    return render(request,'sunu_app/home.html', context)
    # context = {'cases':rooms} the second value is the data
    # you want to pass the first value is what it should be called in the template

def requestform (request):
    form = RequestForm(request.POST)
    if form.is_valid():
        form.save()
        return redirect('home')
    context = {'requestform':form}
    return render(request,'sunu_app/RequestForm.html',context)  

def deleteall(request):
    requests = Post.objects.all()
    requests.delete()
    return render(request,'sunu_app/home.html')

def commentform(request ,post_id):
    form = CommentForm(request.POST)
    requests = Post.objects.get(id = post_id)
    #save the comments here and let it display in home.view
    if request.method == 'POST':
        comment = Comment.objects.create{
            request = requests,
        }
        #pls i have no single idea what is goin on here
    
    context = {"commentform":form}
    return render(request,'sunu_app/CommentForm.html',context)

    <!-- put everything in a freaking div -->
       
        <div class="addrequest">
            <a href="{% url 'requestform'  %}">
                <h3>Add request</h3>

            <a href="{% url 'deleteall' %}">
                delete all Requests
            </a>
        </div>

                    <!--comment -->
                    <h5>Comments</h5>
                    <p>{{post.comments.all}}</p>
                    

                    <!-- comment input -->
                    <a href="{% url 'commentform' post.id  %}">
                        <h3>Add Comment</h3>
                    </a> 
                   
                </div>
            
                <hr>    
            {% endfor %}

        </div> 
    
    {% endblock content %}

pls if you can also give me any other tips i would highly appreciate it. thanks

Here you have set relation between them:

class Comment(models.Model):
    request = models.ForeignKey('sunu_app.Post', ...)
    ...

So while you create new Comment object, you need to pass Post id or whole object to field request (I strongly recommend naming it post instead of request ):

post = Post.objects.get(id=1)
comment = Comment.objects.create(    # use round parenthesis
    request = post,
)
