01:52:49 <ulno> On the disqus site, they say "Whenever Disqus is loaded on a page for the first time, our servers check the URL on which Disqus is loaded (and the this.page.url configuration variable if it is set) to make sure it's valid and meets certain criteria. When this fails, we show the message 01:53:04 <ulno> “We were unable to load Disqus. ...”" 01:53:41 <ulno> however, I don't see where these variables are actually refered to in any java-script code 02:45:32 <ulno> ok, I asked the disqus folks - giving up to debug it myself: https://disqus.com/home/discussion/channel-discussdisqus/installation_unable_to_load_disqus_for_new_posts_in_nikola/ 02:45:58 <ulno> Bad idea to use disqus? Time to switch to isso? 11:41:07 <RocketLL> Hai 11:41:20 <RocketLL> What was the correct way to migrate nikola sites to a different device again? 13:57:32 <ChrisWarrick> RocketLL: just copy (rsync) everything over, but you need to recreate the virtualen from scrstch 14:02:13 <ulno> Anybody here who has an opinion on disqus - as I can't get it to work anymore, I am considering to switch - any recommendations for the other discussion options? 14:11:31 <gour> ulno: if you want comments, i'd say isso is a good one 14:12:53 <ulno> gour: that's what I am leaning to, just wanted to keep my server side admin low - that was the reason to switch to nikola to begin with - let me read the isso installation manual once more 14:13:45 <gour> ulno: i was using it for some time, but at the end decided to continue without comments for the same reasons as yours ;) 14:15:46 <ulno> gour: I once stumbled upon a piece of javascript allowing to send you just an email, you could easily turn into a comment yourself - somewhere in the jekyll realm - maybe I shoudl rather hack a small automation there 14:16:49 <gour> ulno: there is another option: PHP+JS - see https://github.com/jacobwb/hashover-next 14:17:03 <gour> less admin overhead, imho 14:19:16 <ulno> thanks! However, php is asking for trouble - isn't it? This will force you to really be up-to date on your server. 14:20:02 <gour> ulno: well, i anyway need PHP for piwik... 14:20:28 <gour> but i'm using webfaction, so no need to tinker with apache2/nginx/php admin 14:20:39 <ulno> yep, then it's not much more 14:23:10 <gour> pelican has some kind of static commenting system, but i simply prefer nikola over it 14:24:14 <ulno> maybe we can replicate that, will take a look 14:25:24 <gour> https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins/tree/master/static_comments 14:26:09 <ulno> gour: just to confirm with another human being somewhere else: can you see a comment section at http://ulno.net/blog/2017-04-02-disqus-test/? 14:26:49 <ulno> Here it's working (just an older post): http://ulno.net/blog/2015-04-13-re-installing-samsung-note-3/ 14:26:55 <gour> ulno: no..."We were unable to load Disqus..." 14:27:21 <gour> correct 14:28:12 <ulno> gour: thank for the cofirmation,: thought already that it would be unlikely that all my browsers were toast 14:28:39 <ulno> ok, let's (pushing myself) look at alernatives 14:32:05 <ulno> nice, isso is at least python 14:32:50 <gour> :-) 14:38:27 <ulno> looking at pelican sysem: the other option would be to add some cool javascript allowing you to send a specifically formatted email to a newly set-up google account - I would it then make discard everything in there not in that format and add stuff as includable markdown/rst somewhere close to the 14:38:59 <ulno> just running then a polling script seomwhere 14:41:43 <ulno> this would probably work well with some kind of template shortcode, so if you want people to comment, you could just add something like {{% static_comments %}} to the end of your post - would even allow you to allow people to comment on a page 15:01:48 <ChrisWarrick> ulno: you can’t reasonably send an e-mail via JavaScript 15:05:54 <ChrisWarrick> ulno: what is this disqus_config thing? I don’t have it and disqus works 15:09:35 <ulno> ChrisWarrick: it's what they mention on the troubleshooting page: https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/472007-i-m-receiving-the-message-%22we-were-unable-to-load-disqus-%22 15:09:48 <ulno> but it doesn't have any effect 15:10:07 <ulno> I added it on my page and still only the old posts work with disqus 15:12:04 <ulno> ChrisWarrick: would only eventually need js to obfuscate the mailto link 15:12:28 <ChrisWarrick> you can’t trust mailto 15:12:57 <ulno> ChrisWarrick: why that? 15:13:20 <ulno> ChrisWarrick: apart that lot's of people don't use email anymore 15:13:36 <ChrisWarrick> that, encodings, mail clients, lots of other things 15:14:33 <ulno> ChrisWarrick: any idea, how I further could debug the disqus issue? 15:15:13 <ulno> I get to the point of loading the embed.js code from the disqus site, but it is heavily obfuscated 15:16:33 <ulno> I can try to remove my sharing/social buttons, maybe the js interferes with each other 15:16:39 <ulno> haven't tried that 15:18:59 <ulno> didn't help either 15:19:32 <ulno> ok, will continue looking at self hosting isso 15:23:10 <ChrisWarrick> ulno: contact disqus support 15:26:40 <ulno> ChrisWarrick: not sure how, the only thing I found was to post a discussion question on discuss disqus here: https://disqus.com/home/discussion/channel-discussdisqus/installation_unable_to_load_disqus_for_new_posts_in_nikola/ 15:37:55 <ChrisWarrick> ulno: bug them on twitter as well 15:51:53 <ulno> ChrisWarrick: just archived my old comments (weren't so many, so disqus must have stopped working shortly after I added it two years ago, maybe also after moving my server from Germany to France -> IP change) and starting the transition to isso - trying to get back into more tech blogging and 15:52:16 <ulno> os activity again, so that's why I have been asking for help lately a bit more here 15:52:24 <ulno> os=open source 15:54:03 <ulno> seems like setting up (and hopefully also maintaining) isso is really easy on a debian server 17:43:29 <ulno> ok, isso runs 18:02:48 -GitHub[nikola]:#nikola- [nikola] Kwpolska pushed 1 new commit to master: https://git.io/vSBfX 18:02:48 -GitHub[nikola]:#nikola- nikola/master 6b803ce Chris Warrick: Make mathjax tag documentation more clear... 18:07:21 -travis-ci:#nikola- getnikola/nikola#8551 (master - 6b803ce : Chris Warrick): The build passed. 18:07:22 -travis-ci:#nikola- Change view: https://github.com/getnikola/nikola/compare/4fb64abd839d...6b803ce04105 18:07:23 -travis-ci:#nikola- Build details: https://travis-ci.org/getnikola/nikola/builds/218170102 21:00:59 <ulno> Here is the super simple video on making the Nikola twitter connect as promised - hope it's not too embarrassingly simple: https://ulno.net/blog/2017-04-03/new-youtube-video-on-blogtwitterifttt-automation/
