Modify the comment count link

The comment count link. It counts, it links, it does it all. It’s the little link under your posts that says 0 Comments (if it’s my blog) or 148 Comments (if you’re, say, Fake Steve Jobs).

Now you can have it say whatever you want. As always, it’s in your Integration Settings. Enjoy.

    This is what i called customization. Nice feature. I just switched to Disqus and noticed there are a lot of areas to explore on.
  • I'll get you one comment.
  • Why thanks, buddy. ;)
  • Why thanks, buddy. ;)
  • Maybe I'm missing something here but going to the Integration Settings page, I do not see the dialog above.

  • That's Integration Start.

    Integration Settings can be found by going to your dashboard first.
  • Ah gotcha. For some reason, I had visual blindness when looking for it (did not see the tab). I would suggest increasing the distinction/contrast on the tab as it might help.

    On a separate note, do you have an estimate on when the API will have write capability? This would be immensely useful to an app we are building.
  • It will be in one of the next two major releases.

    The first of which is scheduled for the end of this month.
  • Looking forward to it then. Thanks!

  • It should show this for step 3:

    [a href="{Permalink}#disqus_thread"]Comments (View)[/a]

    (Square brackets should be angle brackets)

    Do you not see it?
  • What browser do you use?
  • rickish
    For this, IE
  • Thanks, we found the problem.

    Is the Tumblr code not working right? Should there be something to copy-and-paste in step number 3, in that little box? I'm having trouble getting the number of comments on the bottom of every post on the front page.

    Yeah. For some reason it wasn't showing up for me on the Integration page, and still isn't. But I put your code in there and now it works. Thanks.

    Not quite a comment related to the link text replacement, but the link javascript that this is a part of:

    I'm getting a nested script error the the JS block that you need to put at the bottom of the page just before the </body> tag (or in my case, just above my Google Analytics JS block)

    Anybody have any ideas?

  • thePyrophoric
    fixed this... found a problem with this in VBSCRIPT based ASP - the line of JS:

    document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://disqus.com/forums/PROFILE/get_num_replies.js' + query + '"></' + 'script>');

    needs to read:

    document.write('<scr' + 'ipt type="text/javascript" src="http://disqus.com/forums/PROFILE/get_num_replies.js' + query + '"></' + 'script>');

    note the extra ' + ' at the start of the nested js block...

    I know, ASP sucks. am currently looking at switching everything over to PHP... big job though...

    Nice Comments system, by the way. When will there be custom CSS support?

    S
  • Hi,

    Good to see that you've solved this. I haven't seen this come up before, but we'll take a look.

    You can add your own style rules to customize. Here is the help page: http://disqus.com/custom-css
  • I can't seem to make this work on my tumblr blog. Instead I just have "Comments (View)" on the front page under each post. Any way to change this so I can have one of the options from the Comment Link Text?
  • Hi William,

    I took at the HTML of your blog. It looks like something went wrong when you pasted it in and it was pasted in incorrectly.

    Toward the bottom of the document, you will see a line that says "<script" and nothing else. You should delete that line.
  • Thank you so much Daniel, that worked a treat.

    Cheers
  • Thank you very much. for this tag

    I have to integrate "comment count link" in my own php site.
    I read everything here but I can't understand what's the right code to make this work!
    Can anyone help me?
