    Hello,

    &subscribe=`1`


    this is for subscribe for author of document?
    But how make subscribe for comment`s authors???
    My idea is like WordPress when somebody post comment and after this "body"another post first "body" get mail with info for second or third...message`s.

      Subscription to Jot’s comments is a feature accessible for users that were registered on your site (i.e. users that have valid either manager or web accounts). In order to make notification of a new comment, Jot needs to know visitor’s e-mail, right? These e-mails are provided to your site during registration process -- you can manually create manager accounts for some users you wish to invite to subscription or you can implement autoregistration for web accounts through Weblogin or WebloginPE snippets. Only the logged users can subscribe to comments.

      In order to make subscription feature working, you need three things: 1) create/give accounts for users, 2) set &subscribe=`1` in Jot’s call, 3) assure that [+jot.html.subscribe+] placeholder is present in your template (if you are running Jot with &placeholders=`1` &output=`0`).

            As regards your post #3 (i.e. easy way for subscriptions), adding RSS feature to Jot would be such an easy way -- everybody would be able to subscribe/unsubscribe without registration. Unfortunately, I have not enough time to deal with this issue. But I can help you with #4.

            In order to show IP that the comment was submitted from, you need to insert into your comment’s template [+comment.secip+] placeholder that will reveal entire number. Masking two last digits might be regarded as beginner’s exercise in regular expressions:
            <?php
/* 
 MaskIP Snippet - hides two last digits of IP
 Written by http://setpro.net.pl/
 Parameters:
   ip -> self-explained
   mask -> character to hide a single digit (default: '*')
*/
$mask = isset($mask) ? $mask : '*';
return isset($ip) && preg_match('/^\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}$/', $ip) ? preg_replace('/(\d)(\.)?(\d)$/', $mask . '$2' . $mask, $ip) : '';
?>

            So, finally you need to insert into your template this:
            [[MaskIP? &ip=`[+comment.secip+]`]]

            Good luck.

              Or you could use phx in the placeholder.
