DISQUS

Kevin · 1 year ago

I would also be very interested in an EE implementation with PHP.

Hi Adam,

We don't have an ExpressionEngine implementation just yet. Someone could get one going with the general Javascript solution or use our API to address your second point.

Daniel, thanks for the quick answer :). I've also posted in the ExpressionEngine forum to see if any folks over there have begun tinkering with Disqus.

Yep. Using it now. EE is used on quite a few sites, several large ones in particular. On our site it works really well but I'm annoyed that I can easily own the comments.

On EE - I disabled local comments and went straight to Disqus. I love the Disqus format, but once a customer comments - I loose all SEO rights.

The Disqus approach here is to use a community page: Ours is vorari.disqus.com

I'm not seeing that work very well.

So my options are now this:

1) Post the comments manually on our site
2) Sync the comments somehow using the disqus API

The big problem here that I can't find an easy answer to is that SEO aspect:

Do I have the comments showing up on our site in a hidden <DIV> where Disqus is the visible portion? (Meets SEO requirements). But does google penalise for having duplicate content?

Eg: Manually / Automatically synced comments to page but hidden using a DIV. Search engines find it, but when you visit the site you have the Disqus interface all the way.

I know this automatic sync feature works for WordPress & Blogger - but I still can see where the synced comments are... on the same page? hidden in a <DIV>? Not on the page at all but indexed by crawlers at another location?

The other thing I thought about was manually submitting the comments.rss feed from the disqus community site as a sitemap.

Has anyone referenced their disqus site as a CNAME?

(I've been looking JS-Kit which seems to fix a lot of things, but I really like Disqus)

Is there anything more on ExpressionEngine and Disqus? This thread is over a year old and I haven't found anything else out there...
