To add the Disqus commenting platform to your website:
First head to disqus.com and follow the steps to register your site. Make note of the Site Shortname you choose. You'll use this to connect Disqus to your website. Now, here's how to get comments using Disqus:
1. In your Content panel, select Add New Pages and choose Blog.
2. Next, select the Settings gear icon in the gray navigation bar and choose Apps under the Settings header.
3. Choose the Add Third Party App green button and select Comments.
4. Select the Disqus tile and add the site short-name you chose when you signed up for your Disqus account.
While the ability to enable Disqus comments can only be toggled on in a Blog content block, it is still possible to add Disqus comments to any page by adding an HTML block.
To add Disqus to any page you have:
1. Go to Disqus.com and select Get Started.
2. Locate the Universal Code install instructions.
3. Highlight and copy the code inside the text box provided.
4. You will need Developer access for the following steps - here is how to gain access to developer tools.
5. Back on your Dashboard, select the Content panel and the Page where you want to add Disqus comments.
6. Select the green (+) button and choose the HTML tile.
7. Paste the code that you copied from the Disqus website inside the HTML block. The code should look something like this:
<div id="disqus_thread"></div>
<script>
/**
* RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATION VARIABLES: EDIT AND UNCOMMENT THE SECTION BELOW TO INSERT DYNAMIC VALUES FROM YOUR PLATFORM OR CMS.

*/
/*
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 = '//yourshortnamehere.disqus.com/embed.js';
s.setAttribute('data-timestamp', +new Date());
(d.head || d.body).appendChild(s);
})();
</script>
<noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href="https://disqus.com/?ref_noscript" rel="nofollow">comments powered by Disqus.</a></noscript>
8. In the code, replace PAGE_URL with your website URL (example.spacecrafted.com).
9. In the code, replace PAGE_IDENTIFIER with your page's identifier variable (don't change this value if you can't find one).
10. In the code, replace yourshortnamehere with your Disqus shortname if it was not already inputted.
11. Select the blue Save button in the HTML block.
12. Select the green Publish button.
Done! Users can now add comments to your page.
