    Playing with MODx sample data. Login as manager user backend (admin). Didn’t login front-end. Post a comment and the author became ’siteadmin’ but not ’admin’. O understand that siteadmin is web user and admin is manager user. So I believe both are not the same and not related to each other. But how come Jot with use siteadmin as the name of the Author of that comment?

      What Jot version are you using? Jot 1.0.1 should not do this.. it should show Admin.

        It is written as 1.0 in the snippet but it is downloaded from http://modxcms.com/Jot-998.html as Jot_1.0.1.zip

        I attached it here.

          yeah that was just a little version mislabel... but it’s the correct version.
          can you try cleaning your cookies and post something:

          - anonymous
          - anonymous but specify a name
          - logged into the manager
          - logout of the manager, but login as siteadmin

          Also setup a test page with just: [!Jot!] and post there.. is it doing the same?
          it could be a sample data error

            can you try cleaning your cookies and post something:

            - anonymous - Working
            - anonymous but specify a name - Working
            - logged into the manager - Get siteadmin
            - logout of the manager, but login as siteadmin - Working correctly (i.e siteadmin)


            Also setup a test page with just: [!Jot!] and post there.. is it doing the same?
            it could be a sample data error
            Get siteadmin


            I am using RC2 with default installation and sample data. (using windows apache and php)

            Bs: if you cannot figure it now, it is not urgent on me. Maybe lets see if there is other uses having the same problem to get more feedback.

              - Which PHP version?
              - Can you view your database? look in the *_jot_content table and see what id is in the createdby fields for the comments...

              -1 = siteadmin
              1 = admin

              all negative integers will be converted to webuser names
              all positive integers will be converted to manager names

                I updated my showcase installation to MODx 0.95 RC2 and I have the same problem...
                The $modx->getLoginUserID method has changed so i have to adapt both PHx and Jot with a small update

                quick fix for now:

                in jot.class.inc.php replace:

                $this->config["user"]["usrid"] = intval($modx->getLoginUserID());


                with:

                $this->config["user"]["usrid"] = intval($_SESSION['webInternalKey']);


                this will solve the issue.. it won’t fix the already made posts but it will fix all the new posts from now on.
