Manual Discussion ID

Discussions are auto-generated by default.

To manually set the vanillaDiscussionId field in the comments section, add custom fields to Bludit:

• customDiscussionID: that holds the discussion ID (number), which suffices to attach a new post to an existing discussion;
• customVanillaIdentifier: that holds the slug of another post to steal discussions from.

"customDiscussionID": {
  "type": "string",
  "label": "Forum Discussion ID Override",
  "placeholder": "(Optional: Existing forum discussion ID)",
  "tip": "<b>Leave empty to auto-generate discussions!</b> Attach to a pre-existing discussion. Copy the number in the URL of an existing discussion like <code>123</code> in <code>forum.example.com/discussion/123/...</code>."
},
"customVanillaIdentifier": {
  "type": "string",
  "label": "Forum Identifier Override",
  "placeholder": "(Optional: URL of other post)"
}
