Comments!!



User: Guest 12 years ago
It would be great if you implement some kind of comments system. Maybe for the release of blogs template, but i think it a great tool.

I don't know if its only possible buying your hosting plan or if it could be a "hosting free" implementation.

Do you remember iWeb comments from MobileMe? Something like that.

Good job guys and keep working.

I agree. If there's no way for people to submit comments yet, that would be an excellent feature.

Commenting features are generally connected with a 'blog'. This was the case with iWeb and MobileMe.

When we do add a blogging feature to EasyWeb, there will be commenting included. In the meantime, there are ways of allowing users to add comments to your site using scripts added to HTML Snippets. We'll look into making a video tutorial on this in the near future, but for those who want it now, a quick Google search should help get you going.

I got the code from DIsqus. I'm pretty sure I can handle the first piece of code they instruct you to use, but I'm not sure about the second. It says "Place the following code before your site's closing </body> tag". Do I just place it anywhere?

@luis.web: No put that code in the Footer Code field under Inspector->Page Settings (first tab).

Here's an example of Disqus in EasyWeb...

http://roddymckay.com/EasyWeb/test/disqus.html

The first piece of code goes into an HTML Snippet...

<div id="disqus_thread"></div>

... and the second goes into the page Footer Code box...

[code:2mnb9rzj]<script type="text/javascript">
/* * * CONFIGURATION VARIABLES: EDIT BEFORE PASTING INTO YOUR WEBPAGE * * */
var disqus_shortname = 'iwebformusicians'; // required: replace example with your forum shortname

// The following are highly recommended additional parameters. Remove the slashes in front to use.
var disqus_identifier = '0001';
var disqus_url = 'http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWebMusicWebsite/Comment.html';

/* * * DON'T EDIT BELOW THIS LINE * * */
(function() {
var dsq = document.createElement('script'); dsq.type = 'text/javascript'; dsq.async = true;
dsq.src = 'http://' + disqus_shortname + '.disqus.com/embed.js';
(document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(dsq);
})();
</script>
<noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href="http://disqus.com/?ref_noscript">comments powered by Disqus.</a></noscript>
<a href="http://disqus.com" class="dsq-brlink">blog comments powered by <span class="logo-disqus">Disqus</span></a>[/code:2mnb9rzj]

There are a few other points you need to consider...

Once you enter the code into the snippet and click Apply, you need to adjust the snippet width using the Metrics inspector to slightly less than your page width.

The height doesn't matter because the Disqus div will expand on down the page as comments are added.

The page height doesn't really matter either since the Disqus div will force it longer as required.

Note that the page should have no footer and no content below the Disqus div.

In the unlikely event that you have a custom drop down menu like I do, you need to send the Disqus div to the back using the Arrange menu.

Okay, I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

User: Guest 12 years ago
Okay, I think everything is set except it doesn't actually show up. I think it's because I don't know what's supposed to go in "Disqus_Thread" in this piece of code: [code:3lqe9bhq]<div id="disqus_thread"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
/* * * CONFIGURATION VARIABLES: EDIT BEFORE PASTING INTO YOUR WEBPAGE * * */
var disqus_shortname = '<example>'; // Required - Replace example with your forum shortname

/* * * DON'T EDIT BELOW THIS LINE * * */
(function() {
var dsq = document.createElement('script'); dsq.type = 'text/javascript'; dsq.async = true;
dsq.src = '//' + disqus_shortname + '.disqus.com/embed.js';
(document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(dsq);
})();
</script>
<noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href="http://disqus.com/?ref_noscript">comments powered by Disqus.</a></noscript>
<a href="http://disqus.com" class="dsq-brlink">blog comments powered by <span class="logo-disqus">Disqus</span></a>[/code:3lqe9bhq]

You will need to publish the page and view it in the browser to see the Disqus part of it.

This code...

<div id="disqus_thread"></div>

... creates a div for the Disqus comments. You don't put anything in it.

Okay, for some reason it still doesn't work, but it might be because I did something wrong on Disqus itself, not on Easyweb. I think it's because I have the website "hosted" on Dropbox and then I have the public URL shortened by .tk. I might be doing something wrong in regards to that. Thanks though.

Try using the code that I posted just to see if the problem is with Disqus settings, EasyWeb or publishing.
