Several disqus-threads on one page

Question

we have a website where we have list a lot of events, and would like to add discussions to each of the events.

So we wanted to use disqus, and checked it out. Turns

Answer 1

I wrote an article about this, find it here. http://mystrd.at/articles/multiple-disqus-threads-on-one-page/

In essence, if you're fine with displaying a single module at a time and using some sort of a "show comments" control, you could do it the following way (using Wordpress and jQuery as an example, but you can adjust the content identifiers based on your needs). In a post loop, insert an extra control for each:

   Show comments

Afterwards you need a generic function that will use those post parameters and reload Disqus on demand. Mind that the 2012 version of Disqus doesn't have the reset() method yet and therefore this will not work with it.

// global vars used by disqus
var disqus_shortname = 'yoursiteshortnameindisqus';
var disqus_identifier; // made of post id   guid
var disqus_url; // post permalink

function loadDisqus(source, identifier, url) {
    if (window.DISQUS) {
        jQuery('#disqus_thread').appendTo(source.parent()); // append the HTML to the control parent

        // if Disqus exists, call it's reset method with new parameters
        DISQUS.reset({
            reload: true,
            config: function() {
                this.page.identifier = identifier;
                this.page.url = url;
            }
        });
    } else {
        //insert a wrapper in HTML after the relevant "show comments" link
        jQuery('
').insertAfter(source);
        disqus_identifier = identifier; // set the identifier argument
        disqus_url = url; // set the permalink argument

        // append the Disqus embed script to HTML
        var dsq = document.createElement('script');
        dsq.type = 'text/javascript';
        dsq.async = true;
        dsq.src = 'http://' + disqus_shortname + '.disqus.com/embed.js';
        jQuery('head').appendChild(dsq);
    }
};

Other than this, I believe you would have to resort to using iframes. Such a solution with Ruby as an example is outlined here - http://blog.devinterface.com/2012/01/how-to-insert-more-disqus-box-in-single-page/
