Using a comment widget that loads info depending on the URL

[Spinethetic]

I have been using this comment widget LINK across many pages on my site. However it seems that when it was developed it was only meant to be used on absolute .htm(l) HTML pages. Now since I am converting pertanant sections of my site to a custom flat-file PHP-based CMS, the same comments are displaying on the 'universal display page', regardless of any variables I may pass through the URL.

I hve it set up so that each new article is displayed on the same page, the article displayed simply depending on a URL variable. However the widget only reads up the the file extension and ignores anything afterward.

ie: Same comment is displayed here as well as here

The widget itself is just a simply 4 line code:

<div class="js-kit-rating"></div>
<script src="http://js-kit.com/ratings.js"></script>
<div class="js-kit-comments"></div>
<script src="http://js-kit.com/comments.js"></script>

I am a noob PHPer but I think there must be some kind of workaround after reading number 4 of their FAQ; something along the lines of:

if $variable = 25; {
     print "<div class="js-kit-comments" path="25"></div>";
}
if $variable = 24; {
     print "<div class="js-kit-comments" path="24"></div>";
}

I am working on writing my own php script to solve these types of problems once and for all, for as only recently delving into server-side scripting, I have grown accustomed to using various remotely-hosted widgets on my sites. And now I want to gain complete self-sustainability, and server-side solutions fits the bill.

You need to set path and permalink attributes
div class="js-kit-comments" style="margin: 0px"
permalink="<?php the_ID; ?>" path="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
</div>

substitute a variable that has a unique value for the_ID and full URL to the page for the_permalink.

You will want to put a PHP script into the variable that holds the url.
PS. You could use echo as well as print to write an HTML message.
