*** WHY choose DISQUS? Highlights of the DISQUS comment system ***
- With Disqus, your readers aren't just leaving comments - they're participants in a discussion that you've started. This is made possible with threaded conversations that are easy to follow and join. And, of course, it integrates right within your website/blog.
- Commenters on the go? Receive and reply to the discussion from anywhere with email and mobile posting.
- Leaving a comment can be as involving as writing a blog post. Encourage people to participate by allowing them to use their identity. Every commenter has a profile that is used on all blogs enabled with Disqus.
- Without leaving the page, your visitors can view a person's discussion history and clout across all sites/blogs.
- Commenters establish and maintain an identity on blogs enabled with DISQUS.
- Track and follow what others are saying or subscribe to stay up to date.
- Discussions on your site/blog are now made more interactive and social.
- Readers can rate comments to help make sure only good comments stay in the conversation. Rated comments contribute to a commenter's clout, or reputation, on sites/blogs across the web.
- DISQUS makes it easy to manage your discussions right from your website/blog.
- Remove unwanted comments or block troublesome commenters completely.
- Easily add others as moderators of your site/blog for some help cleaning up.
- Full control of your discussions is available via your DISQUS dashboard.
- Choose exactly how you want comments to be moderated with deep access controls.
- Smart spam and troll filtering make your discussions truly worry-free.
- Everything is completely customizable. The DISQUS comment system is designed to be easily extensible and configurable. Tweak the look or change its behavior to act exactly how you'd like.
- DISQUS not only provides a better comment system, it can easily be used on places without a native discussion tool. DISQUS can be used on just about any blog platform or website.


*** Using DISQUS on your Joomla! website ***
The JoomlaWorks "DISQUS" Plugin integrates seamlessly the DISQUS comment system to you Joomla! website.

All you need to do is open a free DISQUS account over at http://disqus.com and register your website/blog. Your website/blog will have a community page at subdomain.disqus.com, where 'subdomain' is a name you choose when you register your website/blog with DISQUS.

PLEASE NOTE that this plugin currently supports only Joomla! 1.5.x. A Joomla! 1.0.x version will be out soon.

Enjoy one more fine release from the folks at JoomlaWorks!

You guys have outdone yourselves - again!!! Every JW extension is a masterwork, and the DISQUS plugin is no different. Thanks guys.

August 12 Disqus released the new plugin version,
is the plugin already updated to the newest version ?
thanks a lot for this plugin !! i simply love it :)
As the title says - this plugin simply works! A seamless integration between joomla and disqus
I have problems with Internet Explorer 6 and 7. The browser freezes. No problem with Firefox, Opera and Safari.
JW has insured that with the version 1.1 the issue would have disappeared, but there is still.
However, it is a great idea, especially because DISQUS is a great comments system. We look forward of the improvements!

I have gone down the line of comment systems, was able to install most of them, but they just would not work for the life of me. I am having an ftp problem, not sure. So I tried this one, it rocks, and you get a little more out of its use. More exposure anyhow. Great job.
I want to use Disqus plugin. But I noticed that the frontend interface of Disqus comment system has no multi-lingural support, it only shows English language. And the Disqus plugin can't choose specified section or category. Not good.
Owner's reply

I'm guessing that the DISQUS people have plans to open their service to other languages as well. You can contact them directly if you want on this post:

Regarding display options, we will roll out v1.2 soon (along with the J!1.0.x version) which will feature the ability to filter where you want the comments to appear. ;)
