Expected Disqus behaviour? I have Disqus running on a test blog site using the 4.4 beta.
I note that when I click on the comments text at the bottom of the post, it takes me to a page which has only the Disqus commenting system without the content of the post.
If I click on the post entry title, it takes me more usefully to a detailed post page which offers the post in isolation and adds the Disqus commenting system below.
It would be useful if the latter behaviour was the default when clicking on the comments link at the bottom of the post, since commenters would, I think, like to refer to the post when writing their comments.
Have you got a URL we could take a look at? Is this in Preview or live on the web?
I was wondering, what is actually happening to the commenting system.
Well, I mean, I found out this morning that there is new version of Rapid Weaver available,
and starting to replace my commenting system right away.
(I hate JS-Kit and ECHO)
And I published it with only changing the commenting option,
and surprise!
There is no way to write or read the comment in the webpage!
Any help here?
P.S. it would be nice to have any sample website published with RapidWeaver
and also using Disqus commenting system.
P.S. 2 Well, I thought the problem solved for few minutes, but it wasn't even close to.
I tried to re-make the pages. -I thought it may have been happened by old files-
guess what? It worked fine with 3rd party pages but not with the Rapid Weaver original blog pages!
Of course you have to sign up with disqus and use the 'shortname' code you pick in the sign up to plug in the appropriate spot in the RW page setup box. There is however a glitch in the RW beta disqus option. At least for me, any time I add a new blog post, or change the title of an old one, I have to re-enter the disqus 'short name' in the RW box just before I publish. Or else RW changes it and the comments will not appear. This is a known bug that is being looked into.

Thanks a lot!
I figured out what was the problem, and now it works perfectly fine!

What version of Mac OS X are you running? We've been able to cause the issue once on Snow Leopard, but it doesn't appear to be reproducible. If you've got a site file that shows this clearly, please send it to team at realmacsoftware dot com!
Thanks

My only thoughts are that there should be a clue in the text that erroneously replaces the Disqus short name.
I can't remember all the instances, and now I've uninstalled it, but at least once it was taking the name from a recently added category. In that case a bogus category I'd added, formatted with simple html, to serve as a category header. You can see how my categories are organised by looking at the source code from my site (Bird photos) linked below.
Others, and I think myself too, have also had the text taken from a recently added blog title. It makes me think that typing into a field "x" in RW (categories, blog title) is somehow mistakenly leaving the character input focus on the perhaps previously viewed Disqus short name field.
Either that or you've got some code in RW that is searching for "x" within the save file and replacing the Disqus short name field with it. As I understand it you've got some find-and-replace scripts to catch unacceptable user generated names in various fields such as the permalink name and the category names. Maybe it's one of those that's acting on the disqus short name?
Or the code is keeping this text in memory and the Disqus short name field is taking it from there?
There was a slightly similar phenomenon in one of the latest (SL) versions of Textwrangler (edit). I found it annoying enough that I emailed the devs and was told they had added it as a feature, but they showed me how to disable it. As I don't have it now I can't check but it was something along the lines of whatever text was selected (or perhaps put on the clipboard via copy/cut/paste) automatically was inserted in the Find box, replacing anything else you had written in there previously. It was even picking up stuff from other programmes that were running. So perhaps you've got a similar rule which says "automatically insert contents of clipboard into Disqus short name field".
Thanks for sending over the site file: we're looking into it. Could you launch Console.app (found in /Applications/Utilities), filter it by 'RapidWeaver' and send over anything that's output whilst you try adding a post, or otherwise doing anything that causes this issue?
Just tried that, added new post, titled it, problem surfaced again but nothing happened in the Console.

Sure. The blog page is in testing on the web, but not live on the home page yet.

My site is using Disqus. You can see it here:

Thanks for the pointers Gabe: my gut instinct is that it's a text-field focus issue.
