Create Account ID for IntenseDebate Integration with Sandvox

Posted on timeMarch 24th, 2009 by userneil    flagComments Off


Sandvox 1.6 beta 5 offers IntenseDebate commenting system integration. You need to get an Account ID alpha-numeric number which is then pasted into the Sandvox Inspector. All you need is the number, not all the HTML code.

01. Click ‘Install Intense|Debate now!’

04. Step 3 - Copy the code from the JavaScript Install #1.

Because the text is so small, I found it easiest to copy and paste the code into TextEdit in order to select and copy the account ID number.

05. Look for the idcomments_acct and copy the whole alpha-number between the quotes

JavaScript Install #1 - Comments
<script>
var idcomments_acct = ‘9de******YOUR ID NUMBER*****‘; <–THIS NUMBER but not the quotes
var idcomments_post_id;
var idcomments_post_url;
</script>
<span id="IDCommentsPostTitle" style="display:none"></span>
<script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://www.intensedebate.com/js/genericCommentWrapperV2.js’></script>

06. In Sandvox: Inspector > Site > Properties paste the number in the IntenseDebate Account ID

07. To get the ID Number at a later time, Login and click Dashboard
