      Hey there,

      Today was my day for making an effort to learn Jot, so I thought I’d quickly share with you what helped me. Under the assets/snippets/jot/templates directory you will find an example (or rather the default) template for each templateable section. Download each of these files and edit them in your preferred text editor. Then once you are done customizing them, paste them into a new chunk.

      When you do your snippet call, use the chunk name for the templates that you edit by using &tplForm=`chunkname` &tplComments=`chunkname` and so on.

      One other thing that helped me out and took me a while for it to click is that Jot uses PHx style tags.

      Between http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/PHx and http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/Jot I was able to find almost everything I needed to accomplish what I wanted to.

      Hopefully this is helpful! Now..... I’m off to continue researching the forums to figure out the other things I need to accomplish with Jot... smiley
