In view showing forum topics disqus links work but showing 0 comments

More information and questions:

If I try the Disqus console and "listthreads", I see the correct number of comments for each node under "posts:".

I have a table called Disqus but it has 0 rows. Is this normal? Is it only a temporary table?
I have more than 100 topics in my forum, although only 25 are shown at a time. Is this an issue (I saw something about a limit of 100 topics as an earlier problem with one of the ways to interface to Disqus)?

I've been trying to understand the module's code, but I'm not a module developer, so I'm not sure where the problem might be. Is there somewhere where it might be an issue for the comments count view field that the URL has changed but not for the view blocks, which work well?

Also, how should one handle test and production systems with Disqus? They both have the same shortname, so the same comments show up in each site. Does that matter? Is there anything special one should do when moving back and forth between test and production sites?

I'm happy to do some troubleshooting if that helps. I am trying to get comments on a forum quickly, and not seeing the comment count is slowing things down. In addition to wanting a longer term solution, I'm also interested in anything that would help in the short term (e.g., uninstalling and reinstalling the Disqus module or other workarounds).

And, would it help in a future version to have the ability to rebuild whatever might need rebuilding (if anything) when there are problems like this?

Thanks.

I'm not sure what to do, without any support.

I have Disqus comments on forum nodes. The comments appear as they should. The blocks function as they should. The field Disqus: comments shows "0 comments" in Advanced Forum while providing a link that goes to the appropriate thread.

My Disqus table is empty. I am guessing that has something to do with getting an incorrect value for Disqus: comments. I don't see how to rebuild the table properly. I assume that I would either need to rebuild the Disqus table or create a new function to look up comment counts through the Disqus API without depending on this table. In either case, I don't have the expertise to find a solution on my own.

I will follow directions and troubleshoot what I can, but it's hard to make any progress without some support. Please help.

I will continue to stumble around, hoping I get close enough to a solution that someone will take pity and show me the way.

Since everything but comment count in the Disqus module seems to be working, I'm wondering if I could come up with a separate way to show the comment counts in a view that lists topics in a forum.

I'm hoping that with custom_field, js_injector, and jQ I might be able to use the existing disqus.js to return the number of comments for each row in the table. However, I'm not sure if this is feasible and, if so, how I would call it with the proper arguments.

Is this, at least, a potential step toward a simple solution? Thanks for any help.

Rob, great to see you so active here again.

I never was able to address the 0 comments issue and ended up hiding the number of comments, which really cut down on the number of additional comments received. The correct number of comments show in the blocks, but not in the view.

It's too late for this project, but i would be willing to troubleshoot if given some direction.

Above, i had asked if it is normal to have 0 rows in the disqus table. Given what I read recently, is it correct that if no nodes have comments turned off, the table will be empty?
