Hi @Radu,

Great article but I just want to point out a few issues. The first is in your BlogPostDetailView

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        data = super().get_context_data(**kwargs)

        comments_connected = BlogComment.objects.filter(
            blogpost_connected=self.get_object()).order_by('-date_posted')
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This is bound to throw a Type Error. In this case, it will be an object not callable error.

The other issue I see arising is with the post:

 def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        new_comment = BlogComment(content=request.POST.get('content'),
                                  author=self.request.user,
                                  blogpost_connected=self.get_object())
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The blogpost_connected should be an instance of the BlogPost and not the BlogComment. I hope this is helpful. Best regards.
