GetSimple Blog

I'm currently in the process of making some changes to my websites, including where the documentation for my projects are hosted. That's why the site is down at the moment.

Commenting was removed from the plugin a few versions ago now, so that the plugin would keep in line with the design of GS; "Everything you need, and nothing you don't". This change also allowed website owners to integrate their own choice of comment provider instead of only using Disqus.

To enable commenting on your blog, you will need to go to the Disqus (Or provider of choice) website and get the code to add to the site. You will then need to add that snippet of code to the end (almost) of the layout file. To get the address of the post to pass to the comment provider, simply replace the address with this code:

Code:

<?php echo $p['posturl']; ?>

Once you've done that, re-upload the file to your server and away you go.

Providers:
- Discus: https://disqus.com/websites/
- Facebook: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/comments

There are a number of known issue with the currently released version of GS Blog and I would suggest that you wait until the next update is released shortly. The next update also includes a number of changes to the layout system that won't come across unless you manually backup and restore your layout theme.

The layout files are located as follows:
3.0.0 - 3.2.4 : /plugins/gs-blog/inc/frontEndFunctions.php (From line 66)
3.3.0 - 3.3.1 : /plugins/gs-blog/templates/[name].php
3.3.2+ : /plugins/gs-blog/layout-post.php
