Yup. Disqus has a very handy API that I'm using on my blogs.

Hi Laurent,

What happened when you tried post code? We took a look at some of these issues and weren't able to replicate them.

I'd be happy to continue investigating until we reach a conclusion.

Hi Laurent

Sorry to hear that. A false dawn is always disappointing, particularly when you have misled your readers :-(

Can you elaborate a little ? I thought Disqus had fixed the bug with editting code blocks. Let's try Python this time.

>>> def hello(): print "Hello, World!"

That is the end.

I have removed disqus after 4 days. So I lost about 4 days of comments. I was seduced by the fancy commenting but it failed to satisfy on posting code...

Yup, I'm definitely thinking way into the future. It'll happen though. A comments API is necessary for WordPress to keep evolving.

Here's a snippet from the WordPress API mailing list

Someone has developed a PHP script / comment API for WordPress that you could probably leverage:

engtech is a fellow visionary like yourself. He is thinking way into the future, dreaming of API's that should exist and maybe will happen one day.

I'm looking at writing a plugin for Habari (a disclaimer, I haven't used Disqus and I still don't grok it). I agree that having the comments on a post stored locally as well seems to be the best solution. That's a bit tricky if the only way to post a comment is using the JavaScript (as the API is read only). You mention a comment API but can Disqus post back comments or is this only a possible future solution?

If any of the questions above reveal my enormous ignorance, feel free to poke fun at me.

1. That's right. You just worry about WordPress. I've also put in a request for similar functionality for Habari :-)

2. Disqus doesn't allow edits to any comments with a reply but, as always, you make a very good point.

I've put in a request to the WordPress guys to implement a comment API. Then external services can post registered comments to your blog database. That would solve the mirroring issue.

The second issue with services like Disqus is how long can you edit a comment for? Can I leave legitimate comments and then come back a month later and edit them all into spam now that they are "off the radar"?

I guess the "dual posting" thing would me more to do with the Disqus plugins, rather than Disqus itself. The plugin would have to tie the blog comments to the Disqus comments... Maybe... :)

This dual posting thing may be the solution. If I decide to quit using Disqus I would want the comment to stay in place.

A strong export-import feature in Disqus can be another solution. I would want to import the comments to the blog when I want. As far as I have read the export features of Disqus is not mature yet. But as Andy said before those guys are listening to the users. We may have that feature soon.

Thanks for highlighting my quality spelling of Disqus (Discus). :)

I'm still confused. I guess what I really want it dual posting. Comments going to Disqus, but also stored in my blog so if I throw my toys out of the pram and get rid of disqus I still have a full history of comments, rather than a gaping hole. :)

Cheers
