# Disqus Comments

The `disqus-comments` plugin adds support for Disqus comments to Lektor and with its help you can have comments on your pages in no time. Once the plugin is enabled a `render_disqus_comments` function is available for templates which can render a disqus comment box. All you need to do for this is to create your own Disqus community at Disqus Engage.

Once you have created your community there you will be given a "short name" which can then be used with this plugin.

## Enabling the Plugin

First you need to enable the plugin. The following command will do that for you:

    $ lektor plugins add disqus-comments

## Configuring the Plugin

The plugin has a config file that is needed to inform it about your website. Just create a file named `disqus-comments.ini` into your `configs/` folder and configure the `shortname` key with the name of your disqus community:

    shortname = YOUR_SHORTNAME

## In Templates

Now you can add a discussion box to any of your templates by just using the `render_disqus_comments` function. Just calling it is enough to get the comment box:

    <div class="comments">{{ render_disqus_comments() }}</div>

Optionally the function accepts two arguments: `identifier` and `url` to override the defaults. For more information have a look at the disqus widget documentation.
