Discussion is currently running under the generic dev-build project.
To have the have it up and running however, you will need a few things setup for ease of use.
You will need to be running your stack on Nginx. See our documentation for more information.
If you are unsure if you are or aren't, just make sure you are viewing the site from [http://m.thegulocal.com].
Add the following properties to your local properties file:
# Generic
guardian.page.host=http://m.thegulocal.com
ajax.url=//m.thegulocal.com
In DEV we point to the CODE API so as not to create content on PROD that would bore our readers.
As the user IDs are shared between the Identity API and the Discussion API, we would need to make sure that we are using
Identity's CODE API.
Use the following properties:
id.apiRoot=https://idapi.code.dev-theguardian.com
id.apiClientToken=frontend-code-client-token
If you'd like to test things such as opening an article for comments, creating a new article with comments etc, you might want to change the content api host to the code environment:
content.api.host=(/¯◡ ‿ ◡)/¯ ~ ┻━┻
If you are just looking for an article that is open to comments, you can visit /science/grrlscientist/2012/aug/07/3 as
it is open on CODE and PROD.
Unfortunately, this is the weak link in the chain.
To login, go through the normal login process. You will then be directed to the CODE environment for the Desktop site.
You will need to copy the GU_U cookie with something like
this chrome extension
or this firefox extension.
Then create the same cookie on your .thegulocal.com domain.
We should hopefully have a fix for this soon.
Happy yapping.
