As Hugo is a static site generator, the content produced is static and
|
||
doesn’t interact with the users. The most common interaction people ask
|
||
for is comment capability.
|
||
|
||
Hugo ships with support for [disqus](http://disqus.com), a third party
|
||
service that provides comment and community capabilities to website via
|
||
javascript.
|
||
|
||
Your theme may already support disqus, but even it if doesn’t it is easy
|
||
to add.
|
||
|
||
# Disqus Support
|
||
|
||
## Adding Disqus to a template
|
||
|
||
Hugo comes with all the code you would need to include load disqus.
|
||
Simply include the following line where you want your comments to appear
|
||
|
||
{{ template "_internal/disqus.html" . }}
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Configuring Disqus
|
||
|
||
That template requires you to set a single value in your site config file, eg. config.yaml.
|
||
|
||
disqusShortname = "XYW"
|
||
|
||
Additionally you can optionally set the following in the front matter
|
||
for a given piece of content
|
||
|
||
* **disqus_identifier**
|
||
* **disqus_title**
|
||
* **disqus_url**
|
||
|
||
# Alternatives

||
|
||
A few alternatives exist to Disqus.

|
||
by [spf13](http://spf13.com) (Hugo’s author) to bring easy and fast real
|
||
time discussions to the web.
|
||
|
||
Written using Go, Socket.io and MongoDB it is very fast and easy to
|
||
deploy.
|
||
