Enable Community Features

Before you configure your project to enable Community Features, you should choose a Community Provider (Disqus, SolidOpinion, and Facebook are currently supported).

Instructions for configuring your project for a specific Community Provider can be found in these specific Topics:

Using Disqus for Community Features
Using SolidOpinion for Community Features
Using Facebook for Community Features

In the Build Profile Editor, select the Community Features page from the Page Menu.
Select the Include Community Features option.
Choose the Community Provider you wish to use.
Under the Content Publishing URL section, identify the location to which your content will be published. If you are using Publishing features you can select from an existing Publishing Target, otherwise type the URL into the Use this specific URL\Content URL field.
Complete the rest of the fields required by the chosen Community Provider.

Manage Community Content

Once your project has been configured for Community Features, the Moderate Content and Manage Settings are enabled on the Community Features page in the Build Profile Editor. Those buttons launch a browser that takes you to the correct page on your chosen Community Provider's website.

Once you have Built and Published your project after configuring the Community Features page, you will also be able to view and manage community content directly within the Topic Editor and Content File Editor and directly in the generated output.
