Threads per category widget

[Mark Reid]

Hi,

I have a site with several categories and I'd like to be able to show
recent comments on a per category basis on the page corresponding to
each category.

The Disqus recent comments widget currently takes several parameters.
Would it be possible to add another that acts as a category filter?
For example,

recent_comments_widget.js?
num_items=10&hide_avatars=1&avatar_size=32&excerpt_length=200&category=1234567

would create a recent comments widget with 10 recent items from
category 1234567.

If this is not possible, could some one provide pointers on how to
achieve a similar effect by coding against the Disqus API?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark,

The recent comments widget doesn't accept a category argument, so your best bet is posts/list (http://disqus.com/api/docs/posts/list/). This will give you greater flexibility & control over the results returned versus the widget.
