Possible to add comment count (to a Ghost blog)?

I just integrated Discourse into a Ghost blog I recently started up and am using the Eston theme. By default Eston is set up to use Disqus, which comes with the possibility to add a widget of the comment count at the bottom of the post preview (or wherever, really) as such:
comment count
As I’m using Discourse instead of Disqus, would it be possible to similarly access a topic’s comment count so that I could integrate it into my Ghost blog using Eston?

See Embedding Discourse Comments via Javascript, @codinghorror’s blog is on Ghost and embeds comments.

I’d already gotten Discourse embedded into Ghost a while ago (that was surprisingly easy!) and knowledge of @codinghorror’s integration was definitely a push in the right direction when I was deciding what to use with Ghost. My issue therefore isn’t about installation but rather about grabbing comment count numbers for the front page of the blog (where only excerpts of blog posts are shown, and Discourse isn’t even loaded). But if I gather correctly that the place to ask about this is over on that Embedding Discourse thread then I’ll do so. Thanks!

你想出解决方案了吗?我也对那个功能很感兴趣。

哎呀,很高兴你问起这个,因为我似乎忘了在我的博客中添加指向“解决方案”的链接。由 Vikas Potluri 编写的脚本可以在 GitHub 上找到。如果你有任何相关问题,可以在 Ghost 论坛上联系 Vikas(别问我,我做不到那种级别的编程)。如果你感兴趣,可以看看该脚本在 我的博客 上的实际运行效果(虽然有一段时间没更新了,但很快会重新活跃起来)。

谢谢,非常感谢你的快速回复。
我只需要找到一种方法,让嵌入内容变成一个带有 Discourse 链接的按钮。
