Add the ability to enable/disable comments per post

[KuJoe]

Provide a drop down in the add/edit posts for the author to specify if comments should be enabled or disabled for that specific post. Addresses issue #794

Sorry but we should use more simpler method so we do not need to change existing themes or change the get/post during content edit/create.

We just need to use read more or toc method. Check if the no-comment tag available or not than return empty for any printed comment scripts based on those tag availability:

// Disqus on post.
function disqus($title = null, $url = null)
{
    if (!check_comments_state()) {
       return false;
    }
// ...
}

You're 100% right, I don't know why I didn't think of that. I guess I had tunnel vision from the issue example.

Just checking the workflow and seems not possible without changing some of the theme code. At least we need this kind of code (example from your PR):

$post->comments = check_comments_state($content);

Some possible solutions that could be implemented, the $post->comments contains the comment scripts?

But no need to modify the post/get.

I'm thinking instead of having specific calls to Facebook and Disqus in the themes, we change the specific functions into a single function that will return the script for the comment system that is selected, this way if other comment systems are added or removed in the future we won't need to make any changes to the themes and just keep them consolidated into one function call. What do you think?

[danpros]

Sure, like comments($post) is enough because many vars on $post or $p.

Edit: and we should not remove the old functions, for older theme compatibility.
