✅

You need to add a slug field to your model. Refer example below :

class Comment(models.ModelField):
   .... # all other fields
   slug = models.SlugField()

   def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
     if not self.id:
       self.slug = slugify(self.name)
     super(Comment, self).save(*args, **kwargs)

Then your get_absolute_url becomes

def get_absolute_url(self):
   return reverse('comment_thread', kwargs={"id" : self.id, "slug" : self.slug})

The save function defined above basically sets the slug of the model the first time its saved (using its name as the url). This prevents the url of your comment from changing even if you edit it later.

Even for Post change the slug field to models.SlugField()
