Universal code:

function enableDisqus(config, sso_config) { 
  console.log("is disqus already loaded: " + enableDisqus.loaded);

When your page content changes and you need to load new comments:

        //load the comments
        if (isLoggedIn()) {
          //prepare SSO
          var disqusData = {
            id: Parse.User.current().getSessionToken(),
            username: Parse.User.current().getUsername(),
            email: Parse.User.current().getEmail()
          };

          var disqusStr = JSON.stringify(disqusData);
          var disqussso_timestamp = Math.round(+new Date() / 1000);
          var disqussso_message = Base64.encode(disqusStr);
          var disqussso_result = CryptoJS.HmacSHA1(disqussso_message + " " + disqussso_timestamp, "your disqus api");
          var disqussso_hexsig = CryptoJS.enc.Hex.stringify(disqussso_result);
        }

        enableDisqus(
          { 
            shortname:  "your_shortname",
            title:      "your product name",
            identifier: 'your-' + productId,
            url:        "product page url"
          },
          {
            api_key: "your_disqus_api_key",
            message:   disqussso_message, 
            sig:       disqussso_hexsig, 
            timestamp: disqussso_timestamp
          }
        );
