Disqus Support

Snow has a Disqus extension method to help you with adding comments to your website.

First up you need to ensure your .config file contains a siteUrl

{
  "siteUrl": "http://www.philliphaydon.com"
}

The Site Url is used to create the Disqus Id. This means if your site is using a domain with and without www, the id will be the same and comments will be shared between both.

If you sign up to http://www.disqus.com, and navigate to the dashboard after setting up your site:

Find the shortname for your website on the settings page:

Using the shortname, you can now use the extension method on your website posts layout:

@Html.RenderDisqusComments("philliphaydon")

And that's all there is to it. This will render the comments div, and JavaScript scripts element for you.
