If you want to let your site visitors leave comments on webpages, you
need to insert the Commenting module into those webpages.
The commenting functionality is powered by Disqus, a third-party service
that stores and processes all comments. Before your visitors can leave
comments, you need to register an account with Disqus and then specify a
site ID in the Commenting module settings.
You can insert several Commenting modules into a single website. Because
all Commenting modules on the site will use the same site ID, you will
only need to specify the site ID once in the module settings, when
inserting the first Commenting module.
To add commenting functions to a webpage:
- Go to the Modules tab, select Commenting, and drag the module
to the page. - If you have not registered an account with Disqus yet, click the
Register button. A registration form will open in a new browser
window or tab. - Specify the following:
- Your site’s URL, desired name and shortname (unique ID). You will
need to specify this site ID (shortname) later in the Commenting
module settings to enable commenting. - Comment moderator’s username, password, and email address. A
confirmation message will be sent to this email address, so be
sure that it is valid.
- Your site’s URL, desired name and shortname (unique ID). You will

- Specify your language and other settings, and click Continue.
- In the last step of the registration form, no further action is
required. Just log out of the Disqus site. - Check your email inbox for the confirmation message from Disqus. In
this message, click the link to verify your address. - Return to the browser window where you have the Presence Builder
editor with the Commenting module properties opened. - In the box titled Apply here the website ID (shortname) received
during registration, type or paste the site ID that you specified
during registration with Disqus in step 3. - Click Apply.
- Click OK.
Now you can publish your website to the customer account and start
receiving comments from your visitors.
In addition to adding and viewing comments, you can do the following:
- Edit comments.
- Delete comments.
- Mark comments as spam.
- Ban users (by email or IP address) from posting comments on your
site. - Change the settings, such as appearance of comments, and remove the
trackback URL. You can do this by logging in to your account at
www.disqus.com, and going to the
Settings tab.
