Social App Fixes Applied
Summary
Fixed all issues related to the Social Media app, including template filter errors, migration state mismatches, and cleanup of unused legacy code.
Issues Fixed
1. Template Filter Error (lookup filter not found)
Problem: The template social_comment_list.html was trying to use a non-existent lookup filter to access platform-specific statistics.
Solution:
- Created custom template filter module:
apps/social/templatetags/social_filters.py - Implemented
lookupfilter to safely access dictionary keys - Updated template to load and use the custom filter
Files Modified:
apps/social/templatetags/__init__.py(created)apps/social/templatetags/social_filters.py(created)templates/social/social_comment_list.html(updated)
2. Missing Platform Statistics
Problem: The social_comment_list view only provided global statistics, but the template needed platform-specific counts for each platform card.
Solution:
- Updated
apps/social/ui_views.pyto add platform-specific counts to the stats dictionary - Added loop to count comments for each platform (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, etc.)
- Statistics now include:
stats.facebook,stats.instagram,stats.youtube, etc.
Files Modified:
apps/social/ui_views.py(updated)
3. Migration State Mismatch
Problem: Django migration showed as applied but the social_socialmediacomment table didn't exist in the database, causing "no such table" errors.
Solution:
- Unapplied the migration using
--fakeflag - Ran the migration to create the table
- The table was successfully created and migration marked as applied
Commands Executed:
python manage.py migrate social zero --fake
python manage.py migrate social
python manage.py migrate social 0001 --fake
4. Legacy Template Cleanup
Problem: Two template files referenced a non-existent SocialMention model and were not being used by any URLs.
Solution:
- Removed unused templates:
templates/social/mention_list.htmltemplates/social/mention_detail.html
Files Removed:
templates/social/mention_list.html(deleted)templates/social/mention_detail.html(deleted)

Remaining Warning (Non-Critical)
There is a pre-existing warning about URL namespace 'accounts' not being unique:
?: (urls.W005) URL namespace 'accounts' isn't unique. You may not be able to reverse all URLs in this namespace
This is not related to the social app fixes and is a project-wide URL configuration issue.
