disqus 10. how to add comment counts to theme - tested on magazine02 theme by Fizi

[Jimmi08]

1. check what shortcodes are used in your theme

• go to templates, news and check all news templates
  It looks as it is only used:
  {NEWS_COMMENT_COUNT}
  (sometimes some can have parameters)

if you change comment system, it depends on the theme what is displayed: (in fact, that icon should be hidden and wrapper functionality used)

Simply way: replace it with {DISQUS_NEWSCOMMENTCOUNT}

2. find this shortcode in news_shortcodes (core)

• look for sc_news_comment_count
  you will see that in fact different shortcode is loaded.

	function sc_newscommentcount($parm=null)
	{
		if($this->commentsDisabled || ($this->commentsEngine != 'e107'))
		{
			return null;
		}
		
		$text = varset($parm['glyph']) ? e107::getParser()->toGlyph($parm['glyph']) : "";
		$text .=  $this->news_item['news_comment_total'];
		return $text;
	}

3. open theme_shortcodes.php file in your theme

• add override direction:

class theme_shortcodes extends e_shortcode {
  var $override = true;

• add the same shortcode there (the same name as in the template)
  something like this, just to check if it works.

   function sc_news_comment_count() {
     return 'hello';
   }

It works :)
