    So I have Jot installed on my MODx site and I have custom fields which has been no problem. I just want to make the input fields required so that if left blank, a warning will be generated just as when you leave the "Comment" field empty. Anyone come across this before? I looked through the Wiki and didn’t see this functionality.

      Oops...guess I didn’t search the wiki well enough. Need to use the &validate in the Jot call:

      [[Jot? &customfields=`name,email,start,end` &validate=`name:Please enter your name!` &subscribe=`0` &pagination=`70` &canmoderate=`Jot Moderators` &css=`0` &placeholders=`1` &output=`0` &sortby=`createdon:a`]]
