added automated meta tags, and disqus comments disappeared
Posted: Thu Dec 22, 2016 7:44 pm
I set up automated meta tags to share news posts on Facebook, as described here: http://www.cmscanbesimple.org/blog/base ... d-metatags. But now my disqus comments no longer appear below the post. I'm trying to figure out how to get the Disqus comments to appear, and I'm also not sure if Facebook sharing is working as it should -- it doesn't always get the description or correct image. Thanks for suggestions.

{* News module entry object reference:
------------------------------
In previous versions of News the 'object' returned in $entry was quite simple, and a <pre>{$entry|@print_r}</pre> would output all of the available data
This has changed in News 2.12, the object is not quite as 'simple' as it was in previous versions, and that method will no longer work. Hence, below
you will find a referennce to the available data.

fieldsbyname = (deprecated) - A synonym for the 'fields' member
