Insert Disqus into your Sweetcron Lifestream

Sweetcron is an open source solution for creating a self-hosted Lifestream; a blog-like website that shows your activity across the Web over many social networks. By default there is no commenting system within Sweetcron and this is how you get one!

Instructions: (wiki)

  • Open up single.php in your chosen theme found here;
    /system/application/views/themes/{themename}/single.php

  • Find “comments_container

  • Visit http://disqus.com/admin/tools/

  • Choose Generic Code

  • Click Reinstall

  • Replace the line that begins “Your favourite external commenting service goes here!” with Code Snippet #1

  • Open _activity_feed.php in your chosen theme (same folder)

  • Scroll down to “end conditional content” and add “#disqus_thread” to the end of the permalink URL.
    Change this:
    <a href=”<?php echo $item->get_permalink()?>”>Comments</a>
    To this:
    <a href=”<?php echo $item->get_permalink()?>#disqus_thread”>Comments</ a>

  • Open up _footer.php in your chosen theme (i.e. same folder)
  • Scroll down to the end, before the </body> tag

  • Paste Code Snippet #2

And booya! You’re good.
