That's a nice ROI you got out of those 8 lines. Great documentation too!

It's actually Ben, but thanks! I tried doing something like this:

var disqus_url = 'set_to_something';
var disqus_container_id = 'set_to_something';
$.getScript('http://disqus.com/forums/rs... <-- that's jQuery

But it didn't work :(

Making those variables global got me a little bit further but still no dice.

http://www.rssmeme.com/ <-- try it out by clicking a comment link (under the Contribute section of each story).

That should load the Disqus thread into thread_NUM but as you can see it doesn't. It just blanks the screen and starts loading something. Firebug shows no errors.

The relevant javascript can be seen at http://media.benjamingolub.... under the numComments function. Any help would be really appreciated; I think Disqus is great (and also built using Django, a big plus in my book!)

Nearly there! I copied embed.js locally and removed the document.write where you put the style in. Now it doesn't blank the page or anything.

But it is quirky. If you click the comment link for a story it will correctly load it. Then go to click on one ABOVE that story and again it will work fine. Go try to load the comments for a story BELOW a story that has already loaded and it loads the comments on the FIRST one it sees.

I looked at thread.js and found that it is ONLY searching for the div with id dsq-content. I could copy this locally and fix things but I'm feeling like I'm monkey patching way too much here. Could you modify thread.js so that it looks for dsq-content WITHIN the div with id disqus_container_id instead?

Not sure I get this one...

Re: embed.js too limiting

Benjamin Golub — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 14:48:47 -0000

Got it working by searching for the div with id dsq-content and changing it to dsq-content-old when you click to load the next set of comments.

Now we're talking!

RSSmeme now has Disqus comments (the same you use) on every story....nobody is using it; but it's there :P

I agree 100% Steven....but I'm not a fan of even the idea of a private company getting their hands on this information

Re: RSSmeme | My 23Andme Dna Results

Benjamin Golub — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 07:33:46 -0000

Also, thanks for commenting because I found and fixed a bug with the javascript that gets a stories comment count!

Wow, I'm not sure I'd actually use a 4 day work week, I bet they have enough on their plates to do. But no jumping through hoops just to buy a book sounds great.

Definitely deserves the title "most popular story on RSSmeme".

I had to delete that entry as it was a duplicated because of issues with FeedBurner (fixed now). So that is why the link goes nowhere, the new entry is here http://www.rssmeme.com/stor...

Thanks for mentioning this. I hope other sites can benefit from my experiments.

I've been talking to Paul about using the same source for RSSmeme's disqus comments. If we all point to the same disqus "forum" and use the same url scheme (best to use the url of the story obviously) then the disqus thread as it appears in RSSmeme would be the same as the thread using this extension.

I've added Disqus comments to http://benjamingolub.com! Mainly because of FriendFeed integration :)

Congrats! Any chance of redirecting http://corvida.ilumine.net/? You own that domain so you should be able to.

Nice job! I think FriendFeed Stats might make the switch over to Google App Engine; it's small enough that it shouldn't take long. I'm going to play around with it tonight after work I hope.

Re: Experimenting with Google App Engine - Bret Taylor's blog

Benjamin Golub — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 20:58:25 -0000

FriendFeed Stats is now running on App Engine....unfortunately I didn't realize that they limited count queries to only 1000 results. Which makes the global pages kind of useless :(
