Disqus for Joomgallery
I am providing the following guide that is suitable for everyone including newbies.
Guide:
1.Download and install module
Note: If your server does not support zip files just extract the archive and upload files to your joomla/tmp directory (tmp directory has to be empty before copying) with program such as Filezilla, then go to your Joomla administrator page and click extension manager/install from directory/install
2. Find the installed module in module manager and change "Disqus shortname" under options to you Disqus shortname. You get your shortname when you register with Disqus. If you do not have one go to Disqus site and register.
3. You will have to change module position to "jg_detailpane" NOTE: You can not select that position from drop-down list, you will have to enter it mannually. Just click the field next to the search icon and paste it there. Then hit enter.
4. You have to assign module to pages that are using Joomgallery Category View (or other). For example I selected Home/Gallery/Nature which uses Joomgallery category view. NOTE: To add menu to Joomgallery go to menu manager, click your prefered menu and click "new". Then under "menu item type" select for example "Category view: Default Layout" and select the category you previously created with joomgallery.
5. If you want to change the default "Disqus for Joomgallery" header in your detail view you have to change your module title with module manager. It is that simple. Do not forget to set "Show Title" to "True". You have to set "Show title" to "True" if you want to have heading for panel. For example the default is "Disqus for Joomgallery" but if you change module title to example "Comments" then when you enter detail view the panel heading will be "Comments".
There are no other options because all are on Disqus website, login there and change them. Module just ads universal sript officialy made by Disqus.

Possible problems: Disqus is not loading. This is because your website is slow. Optimize you website. Google "webpage test" and hit first link. Problem may aslo occur if you have messed up website. Check if you have javascript / jquery conflicts. Try to gradually disable every module/plugin on that page until you find out what is causing error.
Still having issues? Go to Joomla Forum or Disqus website and ask for help.
