# Create your forms here
class CommentForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Comment
        fields = ("Text", "date",)
        # or
        # exclude = ("avtor",)
        # fields = "__all__"

Important

1. python manage.py makemigrations
2. python manage.py migrate
3. In comments.html you will have access to form and comments
