You recommend using disqus to add comments so thats what im trying to do, but you must know what to add to the universal code it tells you to use to make this work with webflow
Ive added their code to the bottom of the blog post template - it works fine if i add the url of a specific blog post but of course as its a template I need to make it dynamic
so what do i write to make comments specific to the specific post thats being read?
Shown below is the part of the code snippet where i need to change PAGE_URL and PAGE_IDENTIFIER to make this work. I dont know php but its something to do with this variable? <? php echo $my_identifier; ?>
If you could adjust this code snippet for me, oh boy would i be grateful. I think this would prove very useful for many potential cms/blog webflow users

/*
var disqus_config = function () {
this.page.url = PAGE_URL; // Replace PAGE_URL with your page's canonical URL variable
this.page.identifier = PAGE_IDENTIFIER; // Replace PAGE_IDENTIFIER with your page's unique identifier variable
};
*/
(function() { // DON'T EDIT BELOW THIS LINE
var d = document, s = d.createElement('script');
s.src = '//academicblogsite.disqus.com/embed.js';
s.setAttribute('data-timestamp', +new Date());
(d.head || d.body).appendChild(s);
})();
You actually don’t have to change anything about the script which is auto generated by disqus
Just insert the code generated by disqus into a dynamic page template where you want the disqus to show up.
Then for every dynamic post page (say blog post pages in the blog page template), you’ll have a unique discussion to that post :). I’ve tested it extensively and it works PERFECTLY.
Indeed good to know, you dont need to change anything! The Disqus instructions are therefore quite confusing as the last thing you imagine you need to do is nothing!
I think its worth adding this point to the webflow knowledge page concerning disqus and commenting.
Huge thanks for this! Hopefully everyone sees this when making the decision to integrate Disqus into their website - “no changes” are the best changes when it comes to embedding code!
