You love static blog generators (especially [Acrylamid][1] *cough*) and the
|
2013-11-01 15:45:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
only option to interact with your community is [Disqus][2]. There's nothing
|
2012-12-16 18:34:15 +00:00
|
|
|
|
wrong with it, but if you care about the privacy of your audience you are
|
2013-10-19 12:24:36 +00:00
|
|
|
|
better off with a comment system that is under your control. This is, where
|
2012-12-16 18:34:15 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Isso comes into play.

Make sure, Isso can connect to the server that hosts your blog, otherwise you
|
|
|
|
|
|
are not able to post comments.

You can run Isso on a dedicated domain or behind a sub URI like `/isso`. It
|
|
|
|
|
|
makes actually no difference except for the webserver configuration (see
|
|
|
|
|
|
below).
|
2012-10-23 18:36:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2013-11-01 15:45:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Whatever method you prefer (just change the URL), to embed comments add
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
|
|
|
|
<script src="http://example.tld/js/embed.min.js"></script>
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to your HTML (presumedly into `<head>`) and
|
2012-10-23 18:36:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2013-10-19 12:24:36 +00:00
|
|
|
|
```html
|
2013-11-01 16:29:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
<div id="isso-thread"></div>
|
2013-10-19 12:24:36 +00:00
|
|
|
|
```
|
2012-10-23 18:36:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2013-11-01 15:45:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
below your post. That's all. The JavaScript client will automatically detect
|
|
|
|
|
|
the API endpoint.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To show the comment count for posts (but no comments), add
|
2012-10-17 20:44:35 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2013-09-12 17:10:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
```html
|
2013-11-01 16:29:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
<script src="http://example.tld/js/count.min.js"></script>
|
2013-09-12 17:10:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
```
|
2012-10-17 20:44:35 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2013-11-01 15:45:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
to your header and all links ending with `#isso-thread` are updated with the
|
|
|
|
|
|
current comment count.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-10-31 16:14:49 +00:00
|
|
|
|
This functionality is already included when you embed `embed.min.js`, do
|
|
|
|
|
|
*not* mix `embed.min.js` and `count.min.js` in a single document.
