#thread_by_identifier(identifier, title) ⇒ Object

Create or retrieve a thread by an arbitrary identifying string of your choice. For example, you could use your local database’s ID for the thread. This method allows you to decouple thread identifiers from the URL’s on which they might be appear. (Disqus would normally use a thread’s URL to identify it, which is problematic when URL’s do not uniquely identify a resource.) If no thread exists for the given identifier (paired with the forum) yet, one will be created.

Returns a Thread object representing the thread that was created or retrieved.

#update_thread(thread_id, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

  • :title - the title of the thread

  • :url - the URL this thread is on, if known.

  • :allow_comment - whether this thread is open to new comments
