Comment counterΒΆ

If you want to display a comment counter for a given thread, simply put a link to that comments thread anchor:

<a href="/my-uri.html#isso-thread">Comments</a>

The isso js client willl replace the content of this tag with a human readable counter like "5 comments".

Alternatively, if guessing from href is not relevant, you could use a data-isso-id attribute on the <a> to indicate which thread to count for.

Now, either include count.min.js if you want to show only the comment count (e.g. on an index page) or embed.min.js for the full comment client (see Quickstart); do not mix both.

You can have as many comments counters as you want in a page but be aware that it implies one GET request per comment anchor.
