Re: [nesta] The Opposite of Including Disqus on Pages

in your app.rb file, do something like this:

def enable_comments?
  !['/', '/about', '/projects'].include? request.path
end

then change the line = haml :comments, :layout => false to

= haml :comments, :layout => false if enable_comments?

Whichever path you put inside ['/', '/about', '/projects'] array will not
include the disqus snippet.

Neat. You've given me an idea. You could change the method to this:

def enable_comments?
  @page.flagged_as?('commented')
end

Then add the flag on pages that should be commented by setting the flags metadata:

Flags: commented

If commented pages are the norm that would be a chore, so just change the 
flag to "uncommented" and reverse the if statement in the enable_comments?
method.

Cool, didn't know about all of the metadata features.

This solution works very well, and it was just what I was looking for.

Thanks a bunch!
