Hello,

I kindly ask for your help with some minor (I hope) modifications for Disqus.

I am relatively new to Joomla and I have limited proficiency with PHP. Can you please tell me what files I need to modify to display the counter (the a.jwDisqusListingCounterLink) for the homepage articles in the <aside> of the article (along with author, date, category etc.) and not after the intro text?
Where is the "hook" defined?

Thank you for your time.

Hi,

The plugin renders always in the context of the article text . The only thing you can change is make it display before the text. In order to do this, take a look at the file plugins/content/jw_disqus/jw_disqus/tmpl/listing.php .

Note that it is recommended to copy this file into your template folder and make any changes to the copy and not to the original file. The path of the copied file should be '/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/jw_disqus/listing.php

Let me know if you need more help.

Thank you for your reply.
Yes, I already tested placing the "module" before/ after <?php echo $row->text; ?>, but it really does not fit in the design. Is there no way to render it outside the article content?

No, there is no way to do this, since this is a "content" plugin. Unless your design is really complex you should be able to position the output using CSS.

OK. I understand.

I can place it where I want with absolute position, however it sometimes overlaps other elements when the browser window is resized.

I will aslo try to see if I can call the render function from within the theme template file.

Thank you.

You are welcome.
