  • What it does

    Disqus Comments shows comments from Disqus on item pages, instead of the site's own Comments. Visitors comment with their Disqus account, and the comments are stored at Disqus. It comes with Jamroom.

    ACP > Modules > Item Features > Disqus Comments

  • Setting it up

    1. Sign up at Disqus and register your site. Note its shortname.
    2. In Global Config, enter the Disqus Shortname.
    3. In Quota Config, check Allowed on Profile and Show on Detail Pages for the quotas whose items should have Disqus comments.

    Use either Disqus or Comments on the same items, not both.

  • Global Config

    Setting What it does
    Disqus Shortname Your site's shortname, from Disqus
    Use Unique Identifier Gives each item a unique Disqus thread (default: on). If you used Disqus Comments 1.0.5 or older, leave it off, or existing comments may not show in the right place.

  • Quota Config

    Setting What it does
    Allowed on Profile This quota can use Disqus comments (default: off)
    Show on Detail Pages This quota's items show Disqus comments (default: on)

  • For template designers

    To show Disqus comments somewhere other than an item page:

    {jrDisqus_comments disqus_identifier="jrBlog_`$item._item_id`"}

  • {jrDisqus_comment_count} shows an item's comment count.
