[SOLVED] Using Disqus with Codeigniter

[eluser]dmorin[/eluser]

I’d prefer not to allow query strings to work throughout our site.

Why? What does this mean? I guess what you're saying is if I want to manually add a "?Iheartponies=0" to the end of one of your urls, you want the request to get sent through your special controller and ultimately break rather than continuing along to the correct controller/method?

There are tons of times when Querystrings are virtually required including many external services like the facebook and google apis (and apparently Disqus). I have no idea why CI restricts them by default. They're only a "risk" if you blindly use $_REQUEST and even then, you're still accepting user provided data so it should always be filtered and sanitized.

So please, if anyone has any reasonable excuse of why they would prefer a broken hacked up handling of the querystring instead letting it function exactly as it should, let me know so I too can feel enlightened!

(I only rant about this because I wasted so much time hacking around it until someone on these forums pointed out the solution I posted 2 posts ago)
