Hi, one major issue I’m having with the WP-Discourse plugin is that comment replies are unclear. When there is a comment reply in Discourse, the WordPress side does not show what it’s a reply to. It’s just a pure flat conversation. It would be nice to either utilize WordPress’ threading capabilities (unlikely given Discourse’s stance), or at least state “This is a reply to comment #2” or something like that. Is that possible? Thanks!

It has been discussed before, so you might search for those conversations; I’d point you to a thread, but it is always mentioned in passing. Get yer search on! :slight_smile:

I couldn’t find it. Was using keywords such as threaded and reply but that’s obviously not helpful. Will try Google.

Our standard embed script works this way. See Jeff’s blog for example: [תמונה] Hacker, Hack Thyself We’ve read so many sad stories about communities that were fatally compromised or destroyed due to security exploits. We took that lesson to heart when we founded the Discourse project; we endeavor to build open source software that is secure and...

I like that - this could be acceptable. What’s “our standard embed script” though? What you have in WP-Discourse isn’t doing this for me (also tried in default theme, still nothing).

The JS embed isn’t working well enough for my liking, so I’m looking at going back to the comment sync. Doing some tests, many of our conversations look plain awful without knowing who’s replying to whom. Is there a possibility of getting a bit more clarity with the replies? Unfortunately, when you are doing the wp_remote_get inside of lib/discourse-comment.php, using the best=____ parameter strips out the reply information from your JSON! Not sure if that’s on purpose or is a bug, but that’s a roadblock on its own. Edit: Yet, if you remove the best parameter, it doesn’t work with /wordpress.json anymore. I can see the problems baked in here for wanting this ‘simple’ change. Thanks!

Hello, I did a search and even though it’s said in this thread this has been discussed elsewhere, I can’t find it. (I also looked at WP Discourse template customization and WP Discourse Plugin Tips and Tricks.) I just launched Discourse comments on my Wordpress site, and I’m having the same issue as Berto—without the context of “This is a reply to…” (either name or comment), the comments are a bit challenging to follow. Since I am trying to sell my readership that Discourse is a superior experience to Disqus, and that they should give it a try, it’s not the best look for that. @simon Did you come up with a solution to this? Do I need to use the the Javascript embedding? It’d be great if I could make the conversation flow more clearly like on Coding Horror’s blog. (But I’d really prefer to keep using WP-Discourse, which I love.)

Thanks for bringing this up. I think that improving the way that comments are displayed should be the next thing we focus on for the plugin.

That would be awesome, @simon. You already have a super-solid integration with linking the comments between the sites. Having both references to replies (and even active links that move you through the conversation) on Wordpress, like @codinghorror uses on his blog, would be a big benefit. His site, I think, gives a good template to start from and, if necessary, you could tweak the UI from there. Please let me know if you need any help testing things. I’m happy to offer whatever assistance I can. :slight_smile:

I believe he’s referring to Embed Discourse comments on another website via Javascript.
