This is a wrapper component for Disqus. Disqus is an online discussion platform, which can be easily plugged into a website.
The com_disqus
component plugs into our CCK as an optional field. If enabled, a discussion forum is generated.
- Joomla 3.X . Untested in Joomla 2.5.
- Koowa 0.9 or 1.0 (as yet, Koowa 2 is not supported)
- PHP 5.3.10 or better
- Composer
- Moyo Components
- com_cck
- com_moyo
Installation is done through composer. In your composer.json
file, you should add the following lines to the repositories
section:
from the local repository;
{
"name": "moyo/com_disqus",
"type": "vcs",
"url": "https://github.com/kedweber/com_disqus.git"
}
and from the official repository;
{
"name": "moyo/com_disqus",
"type": "vcs",
"url": "https://github.com/moyoweb/com_disqus.git"
}
The require section should contain the following line:
"moyo/com_disqus": "1.0.*",
Afterwards, one just needs to run the command composer update
from the root of your Joomla project. This will
effectively create a composer.lock
file which will contain the collected dependencies and the hash codes for
each latest release (depending on the require section's format) for each particular repo. Should installations
problems occur due to a bad ordering of the dependencies, one may need to go into the lock file and manualy change
the order of the components. Running composer update
again will again cause a reordering of the lock file, beware of this factor when running an update. Thereafter, you can run the command composer install
.
If you have not setup an alias to use the command composer, then you will need to replace the word composer in the previous commands with the commands with php composer.phar
followed by the desired action (eg. update or install).
Another option is to run the jsymlink script in the root folder, available via the original Moyo developer, Joachim van de Haterd's repository, under the Moyo Git Tools.
The joomlatools/installer plugin is free and open-source software licensed under the GPLv3 license.
