I was looking for the “perfect” comment system for the wordpress blog I'm working on.
Firstly, there is Disqus / intensedebate / etc ...:
Pros: Easy to configure, somewhat customizable (to the limit), removes the load from your server, social.
Cons: Syncing with WordPress can sometimes be a problem, external errors can ruin your comment stream, there is no return for users without javascript, a lot of built-in code.
Then Wordpress's own comments:
Pros: Deeply integrated with the blog, very customizable, saves a huge amount of javascript that is built into your blog, it is easier to provide backup options
Cons: Not native, social, ???
For me, Wordpress comments look like the best option.
The only problem is social integration.
My questions:
What should I do with the data that I receive from users AFTER they are registered on a social network? (I already know how to create an login login and get the necessary information back ...)
I thought about just saving them; email address, name, image (which you get from a social network), like what is done when people comment without a social network ...
The problem is that I have no experience with the wordpress database, and I have no idea where to start. Usually the best option would be to use wordpress codex, but I could not find much there.
PS; Please no plugins!
There are amazing plugins there, but I love learning how to do things on my own.
If someone could just add some useful links to me or theoretically what needs to be done, I would be super grateful!
