Hi James

I know of two off the top of my head - http://www.phpback.org/ and https://commento.io/

The latter is paid (not expensive, tho), and I believe has Disqus import functionality. Not sure about the former, advantage there is it can be self hosted and thus fiddled with...

Or - host something nice like Discourse (which is really the only worthwhile forum software nowadays) and use this: https://meta.discourse.org/t/embedding-discourse-comments-via-javascript/31963

cheers

Mike

Hi all

I'm wondering if anyone can suggest alternatives to replace Disqus on a site which is using it to enable commenting on collection records. This could be by way of a another embedded tool, some custom code integration (php), or as the site is running in Drupal, a proven module (Drupal 7 currently). 

The primary purpose is for users to share their knowledge about an item, though threaded discussions are a nice to have, so that there can be some dialogue.

The key issues with Disqus are perceived as: no possibility to customise/simplify the design; and an onerous user sign-up process to a third party service (a no sign-up option would be nice, like Wordpress). Of course a moderation/management interface is essential.

Has anyone done such a change? There's an acceptance that because they were posted through Disqus without any additional Ts & Cs all historic comments will have to be lost.

Cheers, James
