    Hi,

    Is it possible to call Jot on the basis of a parameter passed via a post request? Basically so that it can be used to add comment functionality to any content pulled from a DB.

    Cheers,

    DM

      On the Jot Demo page (http://projects.zerobarrier.nl/modx/46.html) there is a demo which allows commenting on multiple pictures on one page by using the tagid parameter. This is done by using a snippet which passes the pictureid (from $_GET) to the tagid parameter in Jot. This might get you a step further.

        Have a snippet that looks for the POST value, then does 
        $modx->runSnippet('Jot', array('opt1' => 'val1','opt2' => 'val2'...));
