How to Add Livefyre 3rd Party Commenting on your Ning Network

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

Hi Guys,

I have managed to install Livefyre on my Network, at 1st i managed to install Disqus but

i noticed livefyre has more feature and mor epowerful than disqus,To install go to Livefyre website create an account and your code that you get you must put it in your custom code followed by this code immediately:

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

This will show livefyre comment under your blogs, videos, photo's & forums, see example here

After you add it you can go back to your Livefyre account to customize it the way you want ;) Enjoy

great job! that worked for me but I still have the box at the footer of each page :( I also want to add this for forums, whats the module name for that because "forum" isnt working lol I tried already

thanks lorianne,

I used your code and now it is working at least for blogs. I need this to work on pages too. Can you suggest the additional codes, please........

[lorianne]

not sure this is the ideal solution - the Ning comments are still present and its not the way it should look.

 i am fiddling with this...but i dont really know what the hell im doing.

i will see what i can do, but if there is anybody out there (DJ?) who can fix this - please jump in here.

I want Ning comments too (I want Disqus or Livefire under Ning comments, and only in blogs).

BUT>>>>>>>>>>> It is working only when I am logged in..... so what is the use.........I removed .........

[Thiago Santos de Moraes]

Well, I think it worked to any one, because I saw your network and saw the lyvefire comments.

ok - following DJ Webster's   instructions here on installing Disqus on your site i pretty much borrowed his hard work and came up with this:

<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>

<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
if (typeof(x$) != 'undefined') {
x$("DIV.xg_module.xg_blog.xg_blog_detail.xg_blog_mypage.xg_module_with_dialog").after('<div id="disqus_thread" align="center"></div>');
}
else{
}
// ]]></script>

it worked for me - though i am not sure why this works :)

of course per DJ's instructions you have to use YOUR short name where it shows in red.

ALL props to DJ Webster if this works for you since i pretty much stole this script wholesale from his post and just tweaked the tiny bottom bit to place it on blogs.

and ALL blame to me if it doesnt work cuz i dunno what the heck i'm doing :)

LOL cute :D good job by the way, glad its working for you at least!

[Shesh Dhar Tiwari]

on my site http://thatsme.in it is working only on blogs......

[Armani Rouse]

likewise, I removed it, would be nice to have but I guess 3rd party commenting will have to wait until ning makes this default on all networks

[lorianne]

i think if people like DJ keep banging around with this, we will eventually have what we are looking for...  i hope.

It is also not ideal for me as my members like the notifications when they get comments, they hate having to sign up for anything else and they also like seeing the other member's comments in my front page feed.

but i would really love something a bit more advanced for blog comments..threaded rather than flat & the ability to like comments and possibly comments from other sources ; the kind of things available with 3rd party comment systems.

[Armani Rouse]

precisely! all ning needs to really add is the ability to like comments and comment on comments made :D follow big brother facebook!
