Is there any way to aggregate threads from more than one page?

What I want to do is pull in threads from several related stories onto
one page. (I already know which stories are related to each other, I
don't need disqus to do that.) This is important especially if
comments are sparse on some pages.

This is possible using our API (just use get_posts_list method for each story).

Once I get a list of threads, can I use your js to render them?

We identify threads by their urls and (optional) identifiers. In order to render our javascript for a particular thread you will have to make a call from a page with thread's url. You cannot js-render threads by their ids.

Hi,

I've asked this a couple of times in different places, but still can't seem to get an answer.

We use links to disqus comments on our site with a "Latest Comments" section and the titles of the comments do not display properly.
You can see what happens on the front page of our website here (the red tabs on the right hand side):

http:/sffmedia.com

Rather than displaying the article title, the URL is frequently displayed instead or some other random heading. The comments come in from disqus via an RSS feed.

Is there any way to adjust this in the Disqus settings? Or is there some alternation I can make in the back end? I am using a Joomla CMS.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

John

Hi John,

In order to make sure that we save correct title upon thread creation, you can use disqus_title javascript variable as described here: http://disqus.com/docs/embed/. WIthout this variable we try to parse article's html and extract title from it.

Also, to manually update article's title you can use update_thread API method as described here: http://groups.google.com/group/disqus-dev/web/api-1-1#update_thread
