I would like to add a @willwood CommentStack to a blog that I have behind a firewall. But, the only way that I can see it working is if there’s a way to give the stack some kind of ID so that a Permalink macro could be used. Otherwise, the same comment thread will appear across all blog posts. I’m wondering if this is possible, **or if someone has implemented some sort of simple commenting process on TCMS blogs** (I am not interested in anything someone has to log into, such as Fb or Discus, since this is an intranet of sorts and behind a firewall). Just a simple way to comment on the relevant blog post. ---

The database name is the field that makes each commenting stack individual. If you paste the following code into the **Database Name,** you can pass a name via browser / query parameter. `'.$_GET['database'].'` Note the single quotes! ![CleanShot 2021-08-24 at 16.13.43](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/e/6/e69dc4b5134c6d991f50c9990380184bd6f6ad29.png) Check out this quick example: [https://kitchensink.heiko.codes/comments/?database=database-001](https://kitchensink.heiko.codes/comments/?database=database-001) [https://kitchensink.heiko.codes/comments/?database=database-002](https://kitchensink.heiko.codes/comments/?database=database-002) The database name must be letters and numbers only, similar to a blog page / slug. Does this help? **[Update]** As I wasn’t very clear in my answer: the term “database” was a bad example. We’re looking for an attribute from the the query url that identifies the page. So, according to my answer, you have to look for a query attribute that’s unique for each url / page, like the `permalink` attribute or sometimes something like `article-id` or similar, e.g.: `https://www.myawesomeblog.xyz/blog/?permalink=trip-to-las-vegas` Replace “database” from `'.$_GET['database'].'` with “permalink”, now the stack creates for each page a commenting database file with the name of the permalink. ---

Thank you, @dripple. I created several duplicate databases on the server and then added the code (exactly as you show it) in the stack; republished and refreshed the blog page a couple of times. It found the first db - but so did all of the other blog pages. That is, I’m not able to differentiate between them. Obviously user-error. Maybe I’m missing a step? ---

There’s one step missing: the blog usually uses a slug or anything that indicates the blog page to display. That’s the part we need. If you don’t mind sharing a url so I can have a look if I find something useful? ---

Dave, I quickly checked your blog and will post the solution here so we have a complete thread in case someone else has a similar question: The missing link is the “permalink” attribute, so the code should read: `'.$_GET['permalink'].'` Looks like this: ![CleanShot 2021-08-25 at 13.09.01](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/4/f/4f2e239908aa67abace2ae0244918dc7db0318e3.png) This creates for each blog entry a database file for the CommentsStack with the name of the blog page (aka the permalink). This should do the job. /heiko ---

**YES, YES, YES!!!** Many thanks, Heiko, this works perfectly! I really appreciate your taking the time to figure out the solution and sharing it with us. All the best, Dave ---
