Commands

django-disqus provides the following management commands.

disqus_dumpdata

Outputs a list of comments in the JSON format.

• --exclude: Type of entries (approved, spam, killed) that should be excluded. Types can be combined by separating them with a comma. Example: ./manage.py dumpdata --exclude=spam,killed

disqus_export

Export comments from contrib.comments to DISQUS.

Before you run this command, make sure that django.contrib.comments and django.contrib.sites are listed in your project’s INSTALLED_APPS. You also need to change the domain of your Site from example.org to your real domain.

The comment’s associated content object must have the following two methods:

• get_absolute_url: Should return the URL of an object. For example: /2009/10/10/foo. This should not include the domain name
• __unicode__: Unicode representation of the object

The command will export all comments that have the is_public attribute set to True and is_removed set to False. To test which comments will be exported, you can pass the --dry-run option.

Options:

• -d/--dry-run: Does not export any comments, but merely outputs the comments which would have been exported. Example: ./manage.py disqus_export --dry-run
• -v/--verbosity: Specify the amount of information that should be printed to the console. A verbosity of 0 will output nothing. The default verbosity is 1 and print the title of the comments that are exported. Example: ./manage.py disqus_export --verbosity=0
• -s/--state-file: Specify the filepath where the export command should save its state (the id of the last exported comment) into. This makes it possible to resume interrupted exports.
