Templatetags

Before you can use the template tags, you need to load them with {% load disqus_tags %}.

disqus_dev

Return the HTML/Javascript code to enable DISQUS comments on a local development server. This template tag will only return a value if the settings.DEBUG setting is set to True. If you don’t include this, the comment form will not show up on a local development server.

Example:

{% load disqus_tags %}
{% disqus_dev %}

Result:

<script type="text/javascript">
  var disqus_developer = 1;
  var disqus_url = 'http://arthurkoziel.com/';
</script>

disqus_show_comments

Return the HTML code to display DISQUS comments. This includes the comments for the current Thread and the comment form.

Example:

{% load disqus_tags %}
{% disqus_show_comments %}

Result:

<div id="disqus_thread"></div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://disqus.com/forums/arthurkozielsblog/embed.js"></script>
<noscript><p><a href="http://arthurkozielsblog.disqus.com/?url=ref">View the discussion thread.</a></p></noscript>
<p><a href="http://disqus.com" class="dsq-brlink">blog comments powered by <span class="logo-disqus">Disqus</span></a></p>

Options:

• shortname: DISQUS website shortname that should be used. The settings.DISQUS_WEBSITE_SHORTNAME setting takes precedence over this parameter. Example: {% disqus_show_comments "foobar" %}

disqus_num_replies

Return the HTML/Javascript code that transforms links which end with an #disqus_thread anchor into the thread’s comment count.

Example:

{% load disqus_tags %}
<a href="{{ object.get_absolute_url }}#disqus_thread">View Comments</a>
{% disqus_num_replies %}

Template Tag output:

<script type="text/javascript">
...
</script>

The javascript will then transform the link to:

<a href="foobar/">2 Comments</a>

Options:

• shortname: DISQUS website shortname that should be used. The settings.DISQUS_WEBSITE_SHORTNAME setting takes precedence over this parameter. Example: {% disqus_num_replies "foobar" %}
