  Excellent. I didn’t notice that in the default template. I’m using a custom chunk. I just migrated the div and javascript over, and it works great. Thanks a lot.

  Hello,
  I wondered if it’s possible to post url links through jot?
  I have a school site that want an easy way to put short items and links on the site and News Publisher is too much for them.
  Thanks
  David

  Just edit the form template and the comment template to reflect and URL page.

  I don’t seem to have understood how to install this!
  I think I must have missed some steps.
  I uploaded everything to the assets/snippets/jot directory
  Then created the snippet using jot.snippet
  Used the jot.install.db code in phpMyAdmin
  Tried the standard snippet call on the page
  What I’ve ended up with is the form on the page but it doesn’t post anything to MySql and doesn’t display the results on the page.
  Here’s the page http://sav.org.uk/index.php?id=63
  Can someone point me in the right direction?
  David

  Do you call the snippet uncached, eg. [!Jot? ...!] not [[Jot? ...]]

  doze,
  Thanks for that, I was using [[...]]
  as soon as I changed it to [!...!] it worked.
  I still don’t understand how to post a comment with a hyperlink that will stay as a clickable hyperlink when the comment appears on the page.
  Cheers

  define new custom field for the link url and in your template make it to be a link;
  
  for example &customfields=`linkurl,linktitle,linktext`
  
  <a href="[+comment.custom.linkurl+]" title="[+comment.custom.linktitle+]">[+comment.custom.linktext+]</a>

  Hi doze,
  Sorry for being obtuse but you’ll have to walk me through it!
  
  

  define new custom field for the link url and in your template make it to be a link;

  how and where do I define new custom field and which is the template
  
  
  

  for example &customfields=`linkurl,linktitle,linktext`

  This would be the snippet call?
  
  

  <a href="[+comment.custom.linkurl+]" title="[+comment.custom.linktitle+]">[+comment.custom.linktext+]</a>

  Where would I put this?
  
  I only need the actual link to work, no title or text
  
  Thanks
  David
