Can i used isso for a store-like website?

[CosteaPaul]

Hi all,

I have an ancient store-like website, that hits a /product.cgi page. Each product has its id, so whenever you're looking at a product you're hitting something like /product.cgi?prod_id=234xxFr2.

I would like to add the ability to comment on each product, but skimming the documentation makes me think the comment section is specifically connected to the URL and thus this won't work out of the box. Is this a correct interpretation? :)

Thanks for the support,
-Paul

By default, Isso uses the URL without any question-mark parameters (e.g. https://foo.bar/baz?foo will receive, through Javascript window.location.pathname, the internal ID /baz)

You can override the thread id for each page by setting data-isso-id in the embed part, see docs: Client config. That way, you can still have URL query-param-based routing.

Another option would be to change the embed script to use window.location.href instead.

A side-note though is that you probably want something heavier (with a proper database backing it) if this is a high volume web site.
