Symphony.

I've installed Disqus on my blog. Everything is working but I want to display comment count on my blog main page.

Comments are displaying in blog_post.xsl, and comment count should display on blog.xsl.

E.g.

I've 2 comments in first entry. On main page I'd like to have something like this: 2 Comments.

When a new comment is added I'd like to display how many new comments are added.

Sadly, not a Symphony thing, but a Disqus API thing.

I did this a while ago. As far as I can remember there are 3 steps involved.

1. In your blog.xsl, include some Disqus javascript that will load the disqus comment counter code. See the attachment to this post for mine.

2. Include a javascript variable definition in the article page (in your case, blog-post.xsl). It gives Disqus the identifier for your post and will allow you to get the comment count for this identifer in the main page. This is mine (simplified the XSLT):

   var disqus_identifier = 'articulo-<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>

3. Include a special tag in the place where you want the comments to appear. I did it as a hyperlink which, in your case, would lead to the comments in blog-post.xsl

<a href="{$root}/articulo/{titulo/@handle}#disqus_thread" data-disqus-identifier="articulo-{@id}">Comentarios</a>

Disqus links the comments in the article to the comment count in the main page via the data-disqus-identifier tag, which corresponds to the disqus_identifier variable in the blog_post page. Hope this helps.
