disqus_static

Disqus static comment plugin for Pelican

This plugin adds a disqus_comments property to all articles. Comments are fetched at generation time using disqus API.

Installation

Because we use disqus API to retrieve the comments you need to create an application at http://disqus.com/api/applications/ which will provide you with a secret and public keys for the API.

We use disqus-python package for communication with disqus API: pip install disqus-python

Put disqus_static.py plugin in plugins folder in pelican installation and use the following in your settings:

PLUGINS = [u"disqus_static"]

DISQUS_SITENAME = u'YOUR_SITENAME'
DISQUS_SECRET_KEY = u'YOUR_SECRET_KEY'
DISQUS_PUBLIC_KEY = u'YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY'

Usage

{% if article.disqus_comments %}
<div id="disqus_static_comments">
    <h4>{{ article.disqus_comment_count }} comments</h4>
    <ul class="post-list">
        {% for comment in article.disqus_comments recursive %}
        <li class="post">
            <div class="post-content">
                <div class="avatar hovercard">
                    <img alt="Avatar" src="{{ comment.author.avatar.small.cache }}">
                </div>
                <div class="post-body">
                    <header>
                        <span class="publisher-anchor-color">{{ comment.author.name }}</span>
                        <span class="time-ago" title="{{ comment.createdAt }}">{{ comment.createdAt }}</span>
                    </header>
