Has anyone have any expereince with integrating DISQUS into modx? After signing up with a DISQUS account i see that there are installation guides for other management systems but no help for modx? There is a universal guide but i dont understand much about where to put this code.
Thanks

I started to build a MODx module/snippet for Disqus but got side tracked. They have a great API that is somewhat easy to use. The javascript version is easy t integrate as well, but there is one issue... I recommend that you use the strict SEO plugin as well since Disqus will see index?id=1 and ’alias.html’ and ’alias’ as individual pages and the comments will be tied to each of those versions of the same page.
It is easy to add the Disqus admin panel into the MODx manager as a module by simply adding a redirect function to a module to load the disqus interface... it is a cheap method but it is how they integrate into WordPress (although I think that there is a more sophisticated admin in wordpress as well, not sure).
The advantage of using the API version over the JavaScript version is that the comments will be indexed by search engines.
Did you ever get that module snippet finished?

I just started using Disqus as well and the implementation is fairly easy but the part that I am having trouble with is adding a comment count.
I set up a collapsible div to hold the Disqus content, but I can’t get going on adding a "comments count" for the link that triggers the collapse function.
Has anyone done this yet?
Created this quick tutorial after reading this thread. Hope this helps.
