Disqus - preserve the thread when a doc is redirected
Followup from https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gitlab-docs/merge_requests/151
We need to find a way to deal with redirects without losing the Disqus thread. There are a couple ways for this, but I think the best one is preserving the this.page.identifier
(on the Disqus JS snippet) the same if we redirect a page.
I'm trying to create a conditional for: if
there's a redirect, use the old page slug in this.page.identifier
; else
, this.page.identifier
== page slug.
This guy tweaks the code for his PHP site, I guess we can do a similar thing to ours.
Another possible method:
- Via CSV file (not recommended bc we have tons of URLs) and will need to update the CSV file every time we create a new redirect.
