enable/disable comments per post or story

[Svenito]

Any interest in adding the ability to enable/disable comments per post/story via

.. comments: true|false

defaulting to whatever setting is set in the conf.py if omitted from the post?

[ralsina]

You can do that from the page itself using the disqus moderation button. Would this be really more convenient?

Or you mean having the comment box not even appear?

[Svenito]

Yes, if the comments are disabled it would not show the disqus box at all.

Not sure if that's something anyone might prefer to just closing the thread

[ralsina]

Don't know either. I would just close the thread, but it could be implemented, it's not terribly hard, I am just a bit hesitant about adding yet more metadata into the posts.

[Svenito]

Valid point. It would be optional in any case.

I'll stick with closing threads for now.

Now that we have custom metadata fields, this could be done by adding something like this in the templates:

% if not post.nocomments:
[the disqus stuff]
%endif

And a ".. nocomments: True" in the post metadata.

So, I am closing as "possible but not supported in the default templates"

[ralsina]

This is easy to do now.

[Svenito]

thanks for the fix. Will try it out as soon as I can

[ralsina]

Fixed in master. Just add a ".. nocomments: True" in your post and that's it.
