Hi there,

I’m playing about with Jot (the default version with 0.9.5) for the first time and I seem to be getting an error just calling the snippet. I’ve got a chunk called inside my template which includes following Jot call:

[!Jot? &customfields=`name,email` &subscribe=`1` &pagination=`4` &badwords=`dotNet` &canmoderate=`Site Admins` !]

When viewing the page, I’m getting the error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: file_get_contents() in /home/httpd/vhosts/freeagentcentral.co.uk/httpdocs/assets/snippets/jot/includes/chunkie.class.inc.php on line 45

The offending section of the chunkie.class.inc.php file is

function getTemplate($tpl){
		global $modx;
		$template = "";
		if ($modx->getChunk($tpl) != "") {
			$template = $modx->getChunk($tpl);
		} else if(is_file($tpl)) {
			$template = file_get_contents($tpl);
		} else {
			$template = $tpl;
		}
		return $template;
	}

I haven’t tried to customise the snippet in any way so I’m thinking the error my be a set up issue. Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Using PHP Version 4.2.2 if that’s of any use?

The file_get_contents requires php>= 4.3

Is there any sort of workaround?

You could probably download PHP_Compat from: http://pear.php.net/package/PHP_Compat
and copy the file_get_contents function to the Jot-folder. In the jot.class.inc.php-file add:

include_once('file_get_contents.php');

at the top, before the line with:

class CJot {

Hope this works (haven’t tested it because I have PHP 4.3)... You can probably do it with a plugin or directly in the Jot-snippet aswell...
