Then, use bower to fetch components and put libraries not available as (web) component into vendor/. Move crypto parts and identicon generation modules into app/lib.

Isso – Ich schrei sonst
|
||
=======================
|
||
|
||
You love static blog generators (especially [Acrylamid][1] *cough*) and the
|
||
only option to interact with the community is [Disqus][2]. There's nothing
|
||
wrong with it, but if you care about the privacy of your audience you are
|
||
better off with a comment system that is under your control. This is, were
|
||
Isso comes into play.

**[Try Yourself!](http://posativ.org/isso/static/post.html)** (in case it's not crashed ;-)
|
||
|
||
|
||
Features
|
||
--------
|
||
|
||
* [CRUD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Create,_read,_update_and_delete) comments
|
||
* SQLite backend
|
||
* client-side JS (currently 12.5kb minified and gzipped)
|
||
|
||
|
||
Roadmap
|
||
-------
|
||
|
||
- Ping/TrackBack™ support
|
||
- simple admin interface
|
||
- spam filtering
|
||
|
||
|
||
Installation
|
||
------------
|
||
|
||
Requirements:
|
||
|
||
- Python 2.6 or 2.7
|
||
- [NPM](https://npmjs.org/) and [Bower](http://bower.io/)
|
||
|
||
For now (as long as there is no stable version), you need to manually
|
||
build everything:
|
||
|
||
~> git clone https://github.com/posativ/isso.git
|
||
~> cd isso/
|
||
~> python setup.py develop
|
||
|
||
To fetch the requires JS components (and CSS framework), run:
|
||
|
||
~> cd isso/js/
|
||
~> bower install almond q requirejs requirejs-domready requirejs-text
|
||
|
||
You can now either use the JS client as-is (using [require.js][r.js], see
|
||
below) or compile all JS into a single file:
|
||
|
||
~> cd isso/js
|
||
~> npm install -g requirejs uglifyjs
|
||
~> r.js -o build.embed.js
|
||
~> r.js -o build.count.js
|
||
|
||
Before you start, you may want to import comments from
|
||
[Disqus.com](https://disqus.com/):
|
||
|
||
~> isso import ~/Downloads/user-2013-09-02T11_39_22.971478-all.xml
|
||
[100%] 53 threads, 192 comments
|
||
|
||
You start the server via (try to visit [http://localhost:8080/static/post.html]()).
|
||
|
||
~> isso run
|
||
|
||
|
||
Webserver Configuration
|
||
-----------------------
|
||
|
||
This part is not fun, I know. I have prepared two possible setups for nginx,
|
||
using Isso on the same domain as the blog, and on a different domain. Each
|
||
setup has its own benefits.
|
||
|
||
### Isso on a Sub URI
|
||
|
||
Let's assume you want Isso on `/isso`, use the following nginx snippet
|
||
|
||
```nginx
|
||
server {
|
||
listen [::]:80;
|
||
listen [::]:443 ssl;
|
||
server_name example.tld;
|
||
root /var/www/example.tld;
|
||
|
||
location /isso {
|
||
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
|
||
proxy_set_header X-Script-Name /isso;
|
||
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The Isso API endpoint is now `example.tld/isso`, check by `curl`ing the client
|
||
JS located at `http://example.tld/isso/js/embed.js`.
|
||
|
||
### Isso on a Dedicated Domain
|
||
|
||
...
|
||
|
||
|
||
Website Integration
|
||
-------------------
|
||
|
||
Add the following two lines into your HTML header:
|
||
|
||
```html
|
||
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://example.tld/isso/static/isso.css" />
|
||
<script src="http://example.tld/isso/embed.min.js"></script>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To enable comments, add a `<div id="#isso-thread"></div>` below your post and
|
||
let the magic happen :-)
|
||
|
||
To add comment count links to your index page, include `count.min.js` at the
|
||
very bottom of your document. All links followed by `#isso-thread`, are
|
||
updated with the current comment count.
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
### Embed with require.js
|
||
|
||
This section is primarily for developers: The client-side JS is modularized
|
||
and uses an AMD loader for execution. You can easily hack on the JS files,
|
||
when using [require.js][r.js]:
|
||
|
||
```html
|
||
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/isso.css" />
|
||
<script src="/js/config.js"></script>
|
||
<script data-main="/js/embed" src="/isso/js/components/requirejs/require.js"></script>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
