Disqus comments on your books

Disqus comments for GitBook

To use the Disqus plugin in your Gitbook project, add the disqus plugin to the book.json file, along with your shortname (you create a shortname for disqus by creating a new website on the disqus.com website)

{
    "plugins": ["disqus"],
    "pluginsConfig": {
        "disqus": {
            "shortName": "XXXXXXX"
        }
    }
}

Disable it for a specific page

Using the YAML frontmatter, you can disable the Disqus comments thread for a specific page:

---
disqus: false
---

# My Page without disqus

Use custom page identifiers

By default Disqus use the window URL as the main identifier when creating a thread. You can set a custom identifier in the YAML frontmatter of your page:

---
disqus:
  identifier: "some-identifier"
---
