Comment count

[Maximilian Stroh]

When I try the snippet from the README (with my settings of course) to show the comment count, I get the following javascript error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'appendChild' of null

in embed.js: 1.

This may be a disqus issue, but i simply don't know. Does it matter that I use the following (Jade) in a ng-repeat DIV?

a.title(ng-href="#!/news/{{item.id}}") {{item.title}}
a.label(ng-href="#!/news/{{item.id}}", data-disqus-identifier="{{item.id}}")

I encountered the same issue.
With disqus directive, not only the data-disqus-identifier, it can be fixed.

a.label(ng-href="#!/news/{{item.id}}", disqus, data-disqus-identifier="{{item.id}}")

i found an issue in the disqusIdentifier directive. looks like when comment counts are loaded, the directive is trying to load the embed.js script as well. this is not needed for counts, so it can be safely removed.

function loadCount(id) {
setGlobals(id, $location.absUrl(), shortname);
//addScriptTag(getShortname(), TYPE_EMBED); <--REMOVE THIS LINE
addScriptTag(getShortname(), TYPE_COUNT);
getCount();
}
