New Disqus Module for Drupal
June 10th, 2008 Work's been busy so I haven't posted much. I have 20 half written posts in my queue to finish... maybe some writing on the plane to Austin later in the week, when I visit Dell.
As I get a lot of traffic for integrating Disqus and Drupal I wanted to help publicize Rob Loach's Disqus Module. It looks like it's for Drupal 6 only right now, so you'll still need my hacky howto if you're planning on using Drupal 5, but if you're using Drupal 6, Rob's module is the way to go!
Thanks Rob!

Is it possible to have people's name link to their Drupal profile only? Meaning you have to make a Drupal account to comment on your site. What about disabling threaded replies?
1) Nope... you're either using Drupal or Disqus commenting on your site. w/ disqus you're using disqus profiles and drupal you'd have the control you're asking for.
2) You can control the tread depth and threading on the disqus setup page.
Well that sucks. Thanks for the info, Disqus really needs a self hosted option, minus them hosting stuff.
Actually, that would defeat the point, IMHO. The goal of Disqus is to
have build a social network around commenters. The service is more
for your users then you.
I know, but what about the people who don't care about that? That defeats the purpose of using Drupal in some cases, since I'm making a social network of my own, so I would rather it worked in the way I described earlier. I'd be willing to use it if it were self hosted. I use it for tumblr though, so w00t. Kinda?
Hi, Sean.
I think I need more step by step to make disqus work with drupal 6 here. I'd be very grateful. You know, I have disabled the core comment.module, replaced comment.tpl with a blank comment.tpl since I created my own zen's subtheme. Even removed the preprocess_comment from my core zen template.php. Reinstall the module. Clearing cache and theme registry. All is to no luck. Thanks
To be honest, I've never moved to the module since I had things up and running already. If you want to install disqus manually I think you should look at the howto I wrote over here http://seanreiser.com/node/1336
Good Luck!
Great, thanks. I love the disqus.module for d6.4 so I can have more future features and better integration, like backing up comments to drupal, etc, but I seem to have trouble to install it in the meantime. I must have done something wrong in the process. Your hack works just fine. BTW, should I put back the preprocess_comment function to my core zen and fill up the blank comment.tpl with default codes again? This works okay without that now, but the problem is I missed the regular add comments link for the teaser. I just wonder if it was wrong. Thanks.
