Suppressing the input form

Hi

hope you can help me - I am fairly new to MODx...

On my site http://www.gizmofaq.net I have a Feedback page, using Jot.

The code that I am using is: [!Jot? &captcha=`2`!] .

This works fine, but I want to be able to suppress the input form that appears above the existing comments, taking up most of the page.

I would like to replace this form with a button or a link (’Add new comment’) which would open the input form, possibly in a new window, when clicked.

This would mean that the existing comments would not be pushed down the page.

I know a little php, and am ok with css, but would like some pointers please, as I am not yet familiar with MODx or Jot.

Thanks

You could wrap the form into a div that is hidden by default and then do "add comment" link that uses javascript to make the div visible.

Hi Doze,

thanks for your swift reply.

Yes, that should do it. I had not thought of using Javascript - It is legitimate, because the site functionality will still be there for non-javascript browsers.

I will do some testing and hopefully get it sorted.

Ok
I have managed to get this to work using Javascript.

See http://gizmofaq.net/g1/index.php?id=61

If anyone is interested, please ask, and I will post the code...

use &placeholders=`1` &output=`0` this will create placeholders for you to use but will not output anything by default.
Now on the page use:

[+jot.html.navigation+] (this is for the navigation)
[+jot.html.comments+] (this is for the comments)
[+jot.html.moderate+] (this is for the moderator functions)

and for the popup only use [+jot.html.form+]. You have to make sure that the popup (hidden div tag or some other method) is still part of the same page.

I hope this gives you another push in the good direction.

edit: lol you got it to work already
