    Ok so I am new and cant find any info on installation problems.

    I have installed jot with the latest version of modx but when I put it into my page I get this error

    « MODx Parse Error »
    MODx encountered the following error while attempting to parse the requested resource:
    « Execution of a query to the database failed - You have an error in your SQL syntax near ’ENGINE=MyISAM’ at line 7 »
    SQL: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `modx_jot_fields` ( `id` mediumint(10) NOT NULL, `label` varchar(50) NOT NULL, `content` text, KEY `id` (`id`), KEY `label` (`label`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM
    [Copy SQL to ClipBoard]

    Parser timing
    MySQL: 0.0045 s s (8 Requests)
    PHP: 0.0604 s s
    Total: 0.0650 s s


    Have I installed it properly, I did copy the contents of the zip to the folder it said, and created the dito snippet and put the content from the text file.

    or is it the call? [[Jot? &subscribe=`1` &pagination=`10`]] do I put this inside a content page?

    many thanks
      I made my first site with modx

      My bad... the sql install syntax is wrong for older versions of mysql

      Attached to this post is the correct jot.install.db.sql file...
      Copy this over the one in the release and it will fix your problem..

      I also updated the 1.0 RC1 release in the repostory with the correct file.

            what is the jot call?

            this is the 2nd time someone posted this type of error.. it seems like jot is thinking that you are updating a comment rather then entering a new one... i’ll try to find out why.

              [!Jot? &subscribe=`1` &pagination=`10` &moderated=`1` &notify=`2`!]

              the call is made from within a chunk.

              Cheers
              ss

              Also I modified it to just [!Jot? &subscribe=`1` &pagination=`10`!] and still got the same error, is this something to do with my version of mysql?

                I get the same SQL error.
