[Add a Tip for Other Network Creators (Ning 2.0)]

Oi Mates,

 

A lot of creators have been waiting for or wanting this feature, so here is something that i cooked up for you, It works 100% with no errors whatsoever....But if you see anything weird things or errors let me know.

This will Show in your Forums / Discussions, Blogs, Videos, Photos - See examples below :

1.  Forums  - See example
2. Videos - See example
3. Photo's - See example
4. Blogs - See example

 See Image example below :

Here is the Code which needs to go to your Analytics Page / Custom Code page, Remember your Shortname on your Disqus Site Identity should replace the red, This can be found on your disqus link, it should be something like this - http://shortname.disqus.com/- and can be found here : http://shortname.disqus.com/admin/settings/general/ Which goes below on the script where the red is :

--------------------------------------------

<script>
var disqus_shortname = 'shortname';
</script>
<p><script type="text/javascript">
            /* * * CONFIGURATION VARIABLES: EDIT BEFORE PASTING INTO YOUR WEBPAGE * * */
            var disqus_shortname = 'shortname'; // required: replace example with your forum shortname

            /* * * DON'T EDIT BELOW THIS LINE * * */
            (function() {
                var dsq = document.createElement('script'); dsq.type = 'text/javascript'; dsq.async = true;
                dsq.src = 'http://' + disqus_shortname + '.disqus.com/embed.js';
                (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(dsq);
            })();
        </script>
</p>
<p><a href="http://disqus.com" class="dsq-brlink">comments powered by <span class="logo-disqus">Disqus</span></a></p>

<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
if (typeof(x$) != 'undefined') {
x$("div#buttons").after(' <div id="disqus_thread"></div>');
}

PART 2 : 3rd Party Commenting + Ning Latest Activity Sync : Killer ...

Dj Webster respect for this code.
How do i can my url here? // required: replace example with your forum shortname

Thanks in advance

[Troy D. Bertrand]

Tested out and it actually works great. That's a major accomplishment. There were many NC's trying to make this work but I don't think I ever saw a post producing a functioning code.

I have one issue with this code. There is a big gap between the disqus comment box and the network comment box. Not that big of a deal except that it says "0 Comments" if no one has commented via disqus. Since the gap is so big it gives the impression that there are no comments at all on a forum post. If I didn't know there were comments posted I would have never scrolled all the way down.

 

[Thiago Santos de Moraes]

In classic Disqus you can edit de "0 Comments" to another expression.

[Thiago Santos de Moraes]

I´m waiting for the code for blogs ;)

[Thiago Santos de Moraes]

Good, but I want the comments only in blogs, not in the forum, videos, photos, etc. Is there a way to do this?

[Eric Suesz]

Sounds wonderful. Hope this works out for folks. Thanks!

[Mistah Wilson]

works great! Thanx! but do you know how I can enbale facebook comments?

[Thiago Santos de Moraes]

There is a tip from Bernard about FB comments. Let´s focus on Disqus in this topic.

[SweetPotato]

Good tip.
However, I hope that when we get an integrated solution for third party commenting that each member gets to moderate comments. Moderation should not be solely at an NC level, which is what Disqus in this instance does. Comments need to be moderated by the member that posted the content but also exportable/archiveable as part of the data that NCs own.

much rather a delay than comments appearing on member content without their say-so. that's just another for members to leave, certainly on my network.

Sir, you're a scholar. Thanks for the great work and succeeding where others came up short. That's a feature I looked forward to but still holding off untill I can find a way to inform users of network comments bellow. I think I'll do that through the language editor now that blogs are included.
