Overview
Integrates the Disqus commenting platform into Plone.
Default Plone discussion mechanism doesn't have a nice panel to administer comments. It's hard to find new comments. It's not possible to block posts with links or any other unwelcome contents.
However there are much more specialized tools for commenting on the web:
These commenting platforms can be easily integrated with sites, users just need to create an account and add some special code into their websites.
Warning
Versions 2.0 and up are not backwards compatible. If you are coming from an old version, you'll need to write your own upgrade code, or simply manually uninstall the old package before installing the new one.
Configuration
To enable Disqus comments in your site you need to:
- Enable Global comments from Plone's default "Discussion settings" tool from control panel
- Go to Disqus control panel and enable "Activate Disqus as system comment for Plone"
- Enter your blog's short name as provided by Disqus
Now a Disqus comment box should be shown for each content type that has comments enabled.
Comments count
The product provides a 'Disqus summary view' that you can apply to any folderish or collection-type content type. It will show a comments count next to the "Read more..." link of each element.
In addition, there's a counter beneath the title of any object that accepts comments. This is done through a viewlet named as "disqus.comments.count".
Portlets
This product provides 2 portlets that you can use:
They both use the Disqus API, and for them to work, you need to provide:
- Access token
- Public key
- Secret key
And to get them, you need to register an API Disqus account

Installation
To enable this product in a buildout-based installation:
Edit your buildout.cfg and add collective.disqus to the list of eggs to install:
[buildout] ... eggs = collective.disqus
After updating the configuration you need to run ''bin/buildout'', which will take care of updating your system.
Go to the 'Site Setup' page in a Plone site and click on the 'Add-ons' link.
Check the box next to collective.disqus and click the 'Activate' button.
Note: You may have to empty your browser cache and save your resource registries in order to see the effects of the product installation.
