Using IntenseDebate with Magnolia
Friday 18 November 2011 at 20:00 Having comments on a website is kinda cool, but it’s way better if it’s a social comment system with a single shared identity across lots of websites. It’s really easy to set up in Magnolia as it’s built in. There’s basically three steps…
One. Get the ID from your intenseDebate account and put it in the configuration… under ‘templating kit’, site configuration, templates, prototype, mainArea, comments you will find a blank property for it.
Two, Create an article page, and hit ‘enable comments’ at the bottom of the page.
There is no step three. It really is that simple. If you don’t do step one, it tells you what to do (albeit with the wrong path). So long as you have an account with intenseDebate it’s very trivial. I tend to activate configuration changes from the author to the publish to keep them in sync as I find this easier, so if there was a step three it’d be ‘do this on the author and the publish copy of Magnolia’.
Enjoy adding comments to your pages. You can remove them too, which is really clever design as most sites don’t tend to have this option.
