martinluff Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Hi Ryan, would like to take a look at the basic comments system - any chance of a quick few notes on how to set up in templates plus any useful tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Kiss Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Just a note: Last time I was thinking about comments, I've decided to try to incorporate disqus the best way possible into PW [still in the plan, though] However, anything else [including native PW comments] will say Ryan.

jbroussia Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Any opinion on Disqus by the way ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinluff Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 jbroussia - I think Disqus is as good as any... has pretty much any commenting feature you'd need (plus a load of extras like 'reputation points' easy integration with main social networks and so on) and nice admin. Another plus is that it's very widely used so your users are likely to be familiar with the UI. Right now PW commenting system much more basic (not necessarily a bad thing depending on your needs). IntenseDebate being the other leading contender (especially since it's effectively part of the WordPress family now)... Adam, on the one hand I think it makes a lot of sense not to reinvent wheels and integrate something like Disqus (and I'd be interested in what your definition of integration covers - if it goes beyond the standard JS include and used the REST API to pull in the system then I'd be very interested...) I'm sure this will come up again when the subject of ecommerce gets raised On the other hand with Disqus you're calling an external system so can be a pause for comment system to to load after a page's content is visible and I've also encountered bugs in Disqus in the past...

ryan Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I'm going to post a guide for this after the weekend. Lots more planned for the comments system, but it gets the job done as it is... And it hooks into akismet so that you don't get a spamstorm. NOTE: Comments Guide was posted to the Tutorials section in the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Kiss Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 @jbroussia, @martinluff: As I said, it's on my personal plan. However, I currently work on four commercial projects and that module with @apeisa + other stuff around PW, so my personal projects are currently put away for a while [and it doesn't make happy, actually]. I think in a month I will start to have some fun with disqus, but, who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinluff Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 No problem Adam, all your time here is much appreciated and I know what it's like to be fitting in personal projects around a busy business (I know Ryan is in the same situation) I'm sure things like this will start to take shape as time goes on...
