Use Disqus in custom theme

You'd have to update to the development snapshot, and choose to output Disqus as a variable ;-) . Let me know if it works and I'll make a 1.7 release.

In your node tpl file, you should be able to use:

  echo $node->disqus_comments;

You'd need Disqus 6.x-1.x-dev though. If you report success, then I'll make a 1.7 release.

Can't get this to work in a custom theme.

<?php
  echo $node->disqus_comments;
?>

That code in the node.tpl results in nothing being output. I did upgrade to the 6.x-1x-dev version.

Did you change it to Variable output in the configuration settings? Try this:

drupal_set_message('<pre>'.print_r($node, TRUE).'</pre>');

It should be in there somewhere.

Thanks for the quick response Rob, I ran print_r and see the following:

[disqus_comments] =>

But nothing outputs...

... the comments aren't even showing when I try to display them as a block so I probably have bigger problems.

Same problem here - what is really needed is for the function render($values) found in disqus.views.inc to be converted so that it outputs to .tpl.php files - this would give themers complete control over the comment output. We have a particularly difficult accessibility problem as some of our comments are in Arabic and others in English. We need to tell the CSS whether to align right / left and apend language identifiers at appropriate points.

This is the first time I work on my own custom theme for a content-type and #6 definitely works. You just have to set the module to use INJECTED VARIABLE (in /admin/settings/disqus/general) and then place the variable in your custom template file wherever you want the comments displayed.
