Blog comments on external blog website

[crazycells]

Hello,

I wonder if we can use this blog comments plugin for external blog websites?

GitHub - psychobunny/nodebb-plugin-blog-comments: Lets NodeBB act as a comments engine/widget for your blog

GitHub (github.com)

Let's say, we have our forum at ourforum.com and our blog at ourblog.com (with Ghost or WP), can we use this plugin to create a comment section in ourblog.com and the comments can be done by forum users directly?

Just like, how it functions here...

https://nodebb.org/blog/

And it does not need to create a category/topics on the forum... We would like to have comment section only...

yes, but, it is on the same domain here... used as subdomain...
community.nodebb.org and nodebb.org/blog

can we use it on a completely different domain than our forum? such as blog.com and forum.com ?

hi @julian , sorry bugging you with this question... I wonder if we can give our forum the comment access of another blog using this plugin. forum and blog websites will be on completely separate domains...

@crazycells ah sorry, I didn't respond because I wasn't sure...

But I think it should be fine. Technically according to browser security policy, nodebb.org and community.nodebb.org are essentially different sites.

So if you used a different domain the same restrictions apply, but the plugin should still work.

Thank you very much, we will try it and report the outcome then...
