These helpers make it easy to drop a Disqus comments section at the bottom of your pages, just like the one below.
Note that such comments will be externally visible and therefore this should not be used for company internal applications/web pages. For similar functionality within a company you can use Yammer comments instead if your company uses the Office 365 suite.
Any comments made on a web page will be associated with a specific community on Disqus where they can be collectively viewed and moderated, for example here is the Origen SDK Disqus community.
If your web page is about a plugin/application that will be of general interest within the Origen community, then you are welcome to use the Origen SDK Disqus community which will be selected by default.
If your pages are more about your specific application domain, then you should create you own community channel instead.
Your new community can be associated with your application by setting the following app configuration attribute:
# config/application.rb config.disqus_shortname = "my-community"
Alternatively this parameter can be passed directly to the comments helper as shown below.
To include disqus comments simply add this to the bottom of any given page, or your layout file to add comments to every page:
<%= disqus_comments %>
The following options are available:
:disqus_shortname - Specify the disqus forum to associate your comments with. This will fall back to the value returned by
RGen.app.config.disqus_shortname, and failing that will fall back to 'origen-sdk' to select the Origen
community channel.
