Disqus with K2. Is this possible? was created by Crystal

I'm also considering to use Disqus instead of the K2 commenting system. The current plugin for Disqus isn't compatible with K2 (right?). Does anyone know how to do integrate disqus manually (maybe it can be done by editing the K2 template files?)

It shouldn't be hard.

If you've setup an account with disqus already, visit:

www.disqus.com/admin/universal/ (the www will get replaced with your own login name when logged in,
ie: yourusername.disqus.com/admin.universal/

Get this code, and add it to whatever content you want, ie, :

Components > com_k2 > templates > yourtemplate > item.php (if you want it to show when viewing an item)

In the default template, search for:

<div class="itemCommentsForm">
<?php echo $this->loadTemplate('comments_form'); ?>
</div>

replace with:

<div class="itemCommentsForm">
        <div id="disqus_thread"></div>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            /* * * CONFIGURATION VARIABLES: EDIT BEFORE PASTING INTO YOUR WEBPAGE * * */
            var disqus_shortname = 'yourusername'; // required: replace example with your forum shortname

            /* * * DON'T EDIT BELOW THIS LINE * * */
            (function() {
                var dsq = document.createElement('script'); dsq.type = 'text/javascript'; dsq.async = true;
                dsq.src = 'http://' + disqus_shortname + '.disqus.com/embed.js';
                (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(dsq);
            })();
        </script>
        <noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href="http://disqus.com/?ref_noscript">comments powered by Disqus.</a></noscript>
        <a href="http://disqus.com" class="dsq-brlink">comments powered by <span class="logo-disqus">Disqus</span></a>
</div>

Ensure you replace yourusername with your actual username.

Hope this helps.
