Introduction

Social Web, Articles comments, Social Comments

Disqus Comments (for Joomla) integrates the popular Disqus comments system & service into any Joomla! based website. Disqus (pronounced 'discuss') is a service and tool for web comments and discussions - currently the most popular comments-as-a-service provider worldwide. It makes commenting easier and more interactive, while connecting websites and commenters across a thriving discussion community.


In short, the most important features of the service are realtime comments, inline media embedding, mobile commenting, social integration with Twitter, Facebook & other services and great moderation & anti-spam tools.

WHY CHOOSE DISQUS? HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DISQUS COMMENT SYSTEM

Web comments can be difficult for both websites and their readers. We think Disqus is the solution. Disqus makes it easier for people to comment and track their contributions on a single profile which they can display as a comment blog. After all, there is no difference between a great comment and a great published article.

Disqus makes managing discussions on one or multiple websites painless. With a powerful and intuitive admin interface, Disqus allows website owners to spend time elsewhere while Disqus takes care of the comments.

LICENSE

Disqus Comments (for Joomla) is a Joomla plugin developed by JoomlaWorks, released under the GNU General Public License.

Joomla 3.2, T3 based template



Induces errors in other modules (like a lot of other modules) - the ones from Egolt, LandofCoder, Extra Vote, including their own other extension JW AllAideos!!!



My site was crippled in an instant, installed another Disqus plugin from this list, Simple Disqus Comments and it worked fine out of the box.
Owner's reply: You are probably confusing errors with PHP notices. The extension works just fine in Joomla 1.5, 2.5 and 3.x.

Even if there was some valid bug, saying it didn't work without providing a link to some forum post or your site isn't really helpful by the way...

Works, mostly

This extension worked well until we began requiring SSL on our site. Then it failed resulting in multiple JavaScript errors. SSL support needs to be added.
Owner's reply: This has been fixed in v3.5.

Works Great!

This was just what I needed to use Disqus with my site. Was very happy to see it was available for Joomla 3.X

I really wish it worked with K2 also, but fortunately someone else made one so I got it too for K2/Disqus commenting.
In just a couple minutes, I had this installed. Curiously though, it did not work on K2, which you guys also develop. I had to use a 3rd party extension for that. Any, thanks!
I love this extension so I would like to give a big THANKS to the developers.

My only problem is that writing comments does not work from my Android device. I tried it on many sites using Disqus but could not leave any comments at all.

Site goes blank



Posted on 14 September 2013
The older versions did work but after an php upgrade I just get a completely broken site, with a blank page. Removal fixed that.
Owner's reply: This was a PHP 5.4 compatibility issue, which is now fixed in version 3.3 of the extension.

Weak on customisation



Posted on 01 June 2013
This is a decent plugin but it would be better if I could customise the colours and the shape. The rounded corners etc look nice but not on my site. It would be 5* if I could customise it more.
Owner's reply: You can actually skin the comments box on your site using CSS. Disqus has an extensive walk-through on how to achieve that here: http://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/545277-disqus-appearance-tweaks
We installed this on a joomla 2.5 site. The overall layout and functionality seem decent. This seems to be what disqus wants you to use as it is the only joomla addon referred to on their site.



Unfortunately, support from Joomlaworks is non-existent. For that reason we will be uninstalling it and looking for something else.

Works Great for Me
